I haven't started a 100km diet yet - just collecting info to see what would be involved.
What's within 100km of Lower Hutt:
- Blenheim and Renwick in Marlborough, South Island
- Most of the Wairarapa; including Masterton and beyond, but not as far as Pahiatua
- Kapiti Coast all the way up to and including Foxton.
Next step is to start identifying which products we buy that could come from this area. It might be smarter to start by listing everything we currently buy - then see what on the list can be sourced locally.
