Food, Redux

We're having meat at our wedding; however, the meat is a locally grown, freerange (not certified due to $ issues) organic pig from a nearby farmer and venison that my father and brother shot on our land (deer populations are in need of culling in Northern Wisconsin). In addition, all of our food is local and/or organic. We're also growing our own flowers and trying to support the local economy as much as possible.

We have been trying to be eco in every step of our celebration, from asking guests to contribute in our names to our favorite charities to offsetting carbon for travel to and from the wedding. Oh, and we're also completely reseeding our ceremony site (on my family's land) with native crops (that's going to be our Memorial Day --party!).

There are absolutely thousands of ways to make the celebration less taxing on the planet -- it's just a matter of putting a little thought into what you want and what you really need, and then resolving those two desires.

And lest anyone say a green wedding is beyond their financial means, we're doing this on a very, very limited budget.On How to green your wedding posted 1 year, 7 months ago 7 Responses
