Some Tips in Dealing with Expensive Organic and Raw Food Habits.
May 25th, 2009
Eating raw foods as part of our new diet can be quite expensive. Having your own garden is the viable solution. If you have a back yard you can grow a pretty decent sized one. Otherwise, get a few planters and grow a couple of tomato plants along the patio wall, and put a couple of eggplants inside the porch door with one large circular planter. Have each veggie plant its own design with imminent works of art. I put a little garden here of one type of veggies and then another one on the south side of the yard. The sky is the limit what you can do.
If you can find someone who owns an organic garden, volunteer to help them in exchange for food items. Most people need assistance, and they need more help if they have a larger garden. You could weed, take care of the greenhouse, monitor customers who need assistance, and prepare plants for reselling. Very few people refuse good honest labor; I know I wouldn’t! Working in a garden all spring, summer and fall is exhausting work; someone to help us would be a blessing.
When you’ll find sales on fresh or organic veggies toward the end of the summer seasons, buy them at bulk and either freeze or can your favorite dishes. If you have a huge deep freeze you can freeze bulk of them. Otherwise, get a dehydrator and dry your food items. These do not need special storage and can be added to stews and soups, casseroles, or eat by using your hands in the middle of winter as it is snowing outside.
See what’s available in your area or community. There are many, many opportunities that are waiting for your abilities and skills, but you must seek for them!
The best of luck with your new food habit!
