Meet the Gurus of Local Food: The Original 100-Milers

The 100-Mile Challenge started out as one couple's personal food journey. First they blogged, then their story became a book, and then a TV series involving the entire town of Mission, Canada.

For one year starting in the spring of 2005, Alisa Smith and James MacKinnon really stepped up to the local-food plate. They learned to live without any food grown outside a 100-mile radius. In some cases, they even found substitutes they liked better (in others, not so much). I had a chance to talk with them about their year of eating strictly local and, now that the challenge is officially over, how much they're still sticking to it.
