I think it's great you post the purveyors... they are the unsung gods of the holidays. WIthout their heroic efforts on farms across the country... none of it would be possible... we would all be eating plastic turkey with GMO side dishes!

Think summer I discovered CSA's and am trying to buy as local as possible. I think living in CA--especially the Bay area (south bay for me) makes this so much easier since we are surrounded by agriculture. I noticed in your picture the bottles of Straus dairy...this to me is the best. I'll gladly pay a little extra for such wonderful milk and cream. Your menu sounded so delicious! Do you have a recipe for the brussel sprouts? I love this idea of the 100 mile Thanksgiving! Think summer I discovered CSA’s and am trying to buy as local as possible.

I'm going to try to repeat this performance with a 10 course meal to ring in 2010 on New Year's Eve and each course will feature local products - all the meat is from CO ranchers (I buy direct), most of the veggies from the winter share of my CSA, eggs & dairy from local sources, and a smattering of things preserved my my own summer harvest (herbs, relishes, pesto, tomatoes, etc.). I've had fun planning the menu and can't wait for the actual event in a month! Totally agree with you on the seasonality of the traditional Thanksgiving meal.
