One Item, All In: The Easiest Way to Eat More Local

This month’s Local Food Challenge is simple, satisfying, and sneakily powerful: choose just one ingredient and commit to sourcing it locally for the next 30 days. Eggs, flour, yogurt, honey—just pick one thing, learn where it comes from, and use it often.

In this solo episode, host Dana DiPrima shares why this challenge matters, how it connects us more deeply to our regional food system, and what happened when she swapped out her go-to yogurt for a farm-fresh version from Tonjes Farm Dairy. (Spoiler: store-bought didn’t stand a chance.)

You’ll walk away inspired to:

• Take a doable step toward eating more locally
• Learn the story behind the ingredient you pick
• Use your food dollars to support the farmers who feed your region
