he word locavore comes from San Francisco in California. Locavores try to eat local
food. That isn’t difficult in this part of the USA, because there’s a lot of
farmland. Fruit and vegetables grow in the fields, animals live happily in the
Californian climate and the sea has lots of fish. The locavores freeze food
in the summer so that they always have food during the winter. They
want to help the fight against global warming. ‘Most food comes
from many different countries. Some is local, but some comes from
thousands of miles away. The average distance each item of food
travels is 1,500 miles! That’s a lot of fuel,’ says one of the group.
Now some British people want to try this idea. ‘Meat and dairy
products are no problem,’ says Reg Smythe from Birmingham.
‘The only thing we can’t have is foreign fruit like bananas, melons
or grapes. And we can only eat strawberries in June when they grow
in England, but that’s all right. There’s something exciting when you
eat the first strawberry of the year. Shops sell South African strawberries in
December. It’s not the same!’

The gold rush
The long journey west
In the 1880s, millions of people left their homes in the east of the United States and went
to Oregon and California in the American West. Some went to look for gold, but many
were farmers. They wanted land and a better life.

They travelled in covered wagons. Oxen pulled the wagons, because they were strong
and didn’t eat a lot of food. The journey took many months, and life was hard. When the
pioneers arrived at the end of their journey, their new lives as farmers in the West began.
August 14th 1853
We got up at 4 a.m. today. Mother made
breakfast—we had coffee and biscuits.
We started the 14th day of our journey
at 7 a.m. We didn’t walk very fast,
because the oxen were tired after a
very long day yesterday. I looked for
some fruit with my friends. We didn’t
find any fruit, but we spotted a brown
bear in the forest! It ran away through
the trees when it saw us.
After lunch, we arrived at a big river.
Luckily, the water wasn’t deep, so we
got across without any problems. We
stayed by the river that night. Before
I went to sleep, I remembered my
old home in the East, but I wasn’t sad.
I knew I had a new life now.
Jake Hall was a boy who travelled
to Oregon with his family. This is
