Recently, getting restless thanks to the gorgeous weather and the constant hustle and bustle of living in New York City, I decided it was time to head into the woods for a night. After a bit of research, I settled on Harriman State Park as a destination: it’s relatively accessible via public transit but far enough from the city to feel like a different world.

One of my teammates, Becca Tucker, mentioned in passing around the beginning of September that she and her family were “eating local” for the duration of the month. She lives on a farm upstate and tends to be very conscious of her impact on the environment, so it felt like a natural thing for her to do, but I didn’t expect that she would in turn challenge me to give it a try. After all, I live in the middle of the largest city in the country; there’s no way I could eat “local,” whatever that meant.
