Oh, and P.S. I meant to add that I too belong to the Park Slope Food Co-Op and will be getting all my supplies from there. The only things that can't come locally are the cranberries & possibly pecans for the pie, depending.

Our Thanksgiving this year will be from 50 miles away or less: 1. Turkey from a local farm--a 16-year-old raises them to make money, all grown organically! All the vegetables were grown by us at our farm: 2. Sweet potatoes 3. Mashed potatoes 4. Green beans 5. Butternut squash/Lakota squash with swiss chard 6. Pumpkin pie made from a candy roaster squash from a local orchard 20 miles away 7. applesauce (made from same orchard mentioned above) 8. stuffing (made with bread from local bakery)

We will have local turkey. A salad and green beans from our garden. We will also have use local sugar, eggs, milk and coconut to make dessert. I found local sweet potatoes and pumpkins last week, so I hope to use those. Unfortunately, we need to get unlocal cranberries and flour. We will also have to go futher for wine and tea. But about 70% of the meal will be local.

We live in Florida, so we are going to try a slightly non-traditional Thanksgiving Menu. Meets: Fresh Caught Mahi Mahi (Purchased from a local market) Turkey (pre-cooked from the local gas station...sounds scary but really good) Sides: Sweet Potato Cas. -- I make mine with apples and pecans. And we already have some local pecans in the house. I will run to veg. stand to get the rest the week of. Greens and Beans Dessert - Key lime pie made with local limes....I home make these. Any one have any ideas on local teas? K

We live in New Jersey and found several farms where you can reserve a turkey. We have tons of squash from our CSA and I plan on making a butternut soup and possibly spaghetti squash. We will also have fresh baked bread, local cheese and the rest will depend on what's available at our next two CSA pick ups!

I'll shop at the farmer's market on Saturday, so somewhat depends what's there, but here's the plan: Turkey, ordered from local farm Stuffing made from locally baked bread, locally grown onions, homegrown sage and thyme Cranberry relish from secret family recipe that will use local pecans (if I can find them) and apples Sweet potatoes, locally grown (no marshmallows!) Bread baked by my father-in-law (he won't give a toss about using local ingredients, but it will be baked locally) Pumpkin pie with cream from local dairy, and OK, OK, I might bake my own local pumpkin instead of using the canned stuff. Crust made with black walnuts from our backyard and butter from local dairy Local beer and wine So it won't be all local, but as much as possible

I live in Wisconsin, so we have lots of great Thanksgiving day fixings around. This will be my menu Turkey from in the state (purchased our local co-op) Last night we got our last bag from the farm we are members of so we'll make the following from this: mashed potatoes with real Wisconsin butter and garlic roasted red beets (I cube them, put on some olive oil and salt and bake then to get them extra crispy on the edges finish them in a hot cast iron skillet) To the beets we'll add sweet potatoes from the local co-op. Of course some squash will be a great veggie My mom will bring a wonderful cranberry dish also a great thing from Wisconsin We'll finish it off with some of the local microbrew!
