I've given up going to the supermarket. Not in a concerted, Guardian eco-columnist kind of way but I'd grown tired of the weekend obligation of making a special trip to the supermarket. Instead, we now stock up once every few months and make a quick dash for urgent things during the week in between. That's why our pantry looks like it is ready for Auckland's first ever snowstorm.
Instead, I now shop at one of several local fruit and veg outlets within a ten minute drive of our house. Some of the shops abut a market garden or orchard whilst others are connected with a plot a short distance away.
Most of the produce is seasonal with the occasional import clearly marked. And you get some lovely traditional treats like these manky looking
blackboy peaches.
