Congrats on your new addition ~
As for growing tortoise food, I recently got some seeds from the Carolina pet supply, and am gonna give that a go. For store bought, anything that is dark green should be good, torn into manageable bites; collard greens, mustard greens, romaine lettuce, radish leaves, parsely, shredded zuccini, or yellow squash, etc. There are several posts here where all kinds of foods are listed... http://tortoiseforum.org/showthread.php?action=newpost&tid=2706 has alot listed, thanx to some very wise peeps here..
Dont forget to send the pics ~

is that a ramp for your tortoise to walk up and get sun? does he/she ever fall off the side? that would be a concern of mine. baby tortoises always find a way to flip themselves, and providing a ramp with a drop would seem unsafe....just my opinion..
OMGosh, he is adorable! lol, made me giggle to myself.
And good point, Spike; I had one baby that would flip himself over at the slightest incline.
Hopefully the foods listed on the above link will be helpful for ya ~

He/she is great looking. I also would be concerned about the ramp. But nice digs.
Sweet little guy, so cute! I just realized I have that same hide log for one of my leopard geckos. 
Oh wow! He is absolutely beautiful!
You could also try planting the seeds in multiple pots so you always have some to provide.
Lovely! Did you get him at Woody's? I saw the ads, looks just like him.
