Our family has several goals in preparing food and developing recipes. First, since we have a type 2 diabetic in the house, we are super conscious of carb intake. In addition, we feel pretty strongly about supporting local businesses and local farmers. We attempt a garden of our own, support several local farm stands and pick from the wild harvest. In addition, we harvest several deer each year, so venison is a key aspect in our diet. We buy dairy products that are procured in upstate New York (which is not hard to do, since we are a dairy state) and occasionally, we share a pig from a local farm with our friends. We also raise chickens for eggs.
