Welcome to the Old Fashioned On Purpose Podcast.

Interest in local food is exploding and I am so pumped.

I have received more questions than ever lately on how to find local food, where to buy it,

how does this whole thing work? And I know it can be a really confusing world to navigate if you've only been used to buying food at the supermarket.

So in today's episode I'm going to break it down for you step by step.

For a limited time only, if you use the coupon code Jill May, you can save 10% on all of their baking supplies, which, yes, that includes their heritage

stoneware bowls, you know, the ones with the blue stripe that you've seen in my YouTube videos.

Yep those are included too. So head on over to the Prairie homestead.

Now, on to our episode.

So, back in episode 120 of this podcast, I talked a little bit how I am feeling more compelled to buy local, not just our food, but just everything.

And if I can't find it local, which sometimes I can't,

we don't live in a metropolis of store options.
