We will have plenty of people cheering us on from home and supporting us by trying to eat as local as they find possible. Feel free to send suggestions along the way. Yesterday’s poll about buying local concluded people need to know where the local vendors are and about the variety of local food. I am sure this contest will help provide that information.
Contestants, you know the rules. Contest starts Monday August 31, 2009 at 12:01 AM and ends Friday September 4, 2009 at 11:59 PM. Who will be the first to go out and what will push them over the edge? Coffee and that caffeine kick just might knock out a few.. Not to mention the next Full Moon Fiasco. Are all of these players really willing to only drink water until midnight? Don’t forget you must update on your progress or we will just consider you a drop out.
You can post updates on Twitter by using #7vs7
*Don’t forget 7vs7 Locavore: Round 2 will be coming soon (sometime between September and December 2009). More to come later but all locally produced products will be involved. Check back here or at DTE for more information.

Aug 27 2009 9:39 amFor the contestants in the 100 mile challenge, you can purchase locally grown wheat milled into flour under the Stone-Buhr label, “Washington White All Purpose Flour”. Check out the local grocery stores. Also, DeLeon’s makes their tortillas out of Shepherd’s Grain Flour.

Aug 27 2009 2:16 pmShepherd’s Grain has a handful of growers outside of the radius. I don’t know that I’d trust it for this contest.
I haven’t looked into this Stone-Buhr flour, but if you’re going to use it, I’d be sure to do my research first because “local” doesn’t guarantee it’s within 100 miles.

Aug 27 2009 5:21 pmIf Bright Spirit is reading this, any way you could confirm which items in this week’s fresh produce variety box fit the contest rules? I’d rather not have to finish off all those fruits and veggies before Monday!

Aug 28 2009 9:13 amAndrew, I built my own box with Fresh Abundance this past week (and will next) with a big note in the comment section to please only deliver items within the 100 mile limits. An employee helped me figure this out.
side note: dang! This is finally going to be my first FBC ride (and no alcohol? argh)!!!!

Aug 28 2009 9:15 amDavid, thanks for the info about Stone Buhr flour. I wasn’t looking forward to using only spelt flour.

Aug 29 2009 10:25 amThanks for the idea moneeeq. BrightSpirit answered my question on her blog, and a lot of the stuff qualifies. I’m on the biweekly plan, so no box next week.
