I am thinking....perhaps I should really get an icecream maker! We just don't eat it that much. But wow....the recipes one can make. This looks good. I love being a locavore and I too head to my local markets ALLLLLLL the time...well...except I am out in the boonies near a city and as I work in the city...I must admit...I sometimes get produce there. Not exotic enough in my little place for all the things I cook. But I like your blog...very nice!

I have whipped out my ice cream maker and started making ice cream and sorbets too. It is so good to have it homemade isn't it? It must be getting warmer up there by now?

In the winter it is hard to be a locavore but now's the time to support all our local producers. Love the mint icecream:D

I love that book! The fresh cream rising to the top sounds so yummy! Great idea to make ice cream with it! I bet it was divine!

Lovely post! Eating locally is so very rewarding... and the flavor of such fresh foods! Incredible.

We've found we can live about 80% local during the summer months in Wisconsin. And we can stretch that out into the winter if we put up quite a bit of food.

As you can imagine, local milk, cheese, and butter around here is easy. But, produce gets to be a challenge in the winter months.

I've been hearing a lot about locavores these days, so thank you for giving me an inside scoop.
I love quail eggs. Somehow they taste so much more delicate and clean to me than regular eggs.
I don't like the milk I get in grocery stores. I wonder how much better local milk tastes?

I wish I good get quail eggs here, or fresh ones anyway. The ice cream looks delicious--love the milk in glass bottles. We have a dairy coming to the North Shore here--finally! They are starting to sell butter first this month and milk later on. I will be so happy to have local milk and butter.
