Through this experiment, I realized how difficult it is to eat food directly from the farm. For one, I did not have the cooking knowledge to prepare the food that I bought. Secondly, there is a limited variety of food available at the market. For example, I drink a lot of milk, but it's not available at the market.
Could I have made it a week with those groceries? Maybe, but it would have taken a lot of discipline not to eat anything else.
Although I may have failed my initial experiment, I learned the reality of eating local food, I had a great time shopping at the market, and I got to eat some really banging food. I have lowered my personal expectations, and now I will use local food mainly to supplement my regular groceries.
