it's day 18 of my (mostly) local life. so far, my discoveries have been eye popping, interesting, worrying and profound. i know there are many more to come and this inspires me to maintain the experiment.
yesterday i visited Ceres in brunswick. i've heard all about Ceres from many friends - about the famous eggs, the fresh fruit and vegies, the environmental projects happening - yet never been there myself. wow. what a wonderful, wonderful place. i stocked up for the week and found spelt pasta and flour from powlett hill! my lunch yesterday was gourmet. ceres wild mushrooms have 0 food miles and the tastiest little morsels of fungi i've eaten in a long time. the atmosphere at ceres is tranquil and happy with live acoustic music and barefooted children eating apples. once again, i spent quality time with a friend and avoided the supermarket chains. everything i needed was available. i'm set for another week of fresh food.
all fresh produce at the Ceres market is signed with information about where the fruit or vegetable was grown and how far it has travelled! amazing. it's plastic bag free and to purchase bulk goods like flour and nuts, you need to take your own container into which you scoop the desired amounts. genius. this all seems so simple and logical. why is it that a place like ceres is so rare in comparison with a coles, woolworths or even a market?
