Raising our own dairy, bee and garden products. Teaching classes and workshops on how to be a successful backyard farmer.
Grow what you eat
Anybody can do it! Whether you live on an acreage or a city block, you can grow your own groceries. It does not take a lot of real estate to make a serious contribution to your meals. In fact there are so many GREAT reasons to grow your own food, and buy locally, that I have started a list of reasons why everyone should give it a try.
IT IS GOOD FOR YOU
Fresher food equals more vitamins and minerals, plus there are no additives or preservatives in home grown food. You grow it, and you know exactly what is in it.
IT IS GOOD FOR THE EARTH
Your backyard groceries don't have to be shipped across country, or from ANOTHER country. Local grown is better because it uses less resources for shipping, storage and packaging.
IT SAVES YOU MONEY
The more processed a food is, the more expensive it is. You pay a high premium for someone else's time and labor. Growing your own food is a sound investment for your health and for your checkbook.
IT JUST TASTES BETTER
Produce found in your supermarket is grown for its ability to machine pick, pack, ship and last in storage. When raising your own food, you can grow good tasting varieties and let them ripen naturally.
