It can be expensive change our eating habits to raw foods. The suitable solution is to have your own garden. 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 surrounding works of art. I put a little garden here of one type of vegetables 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 has an organic garden, volunteer to assist them in exchange for food items. Most people need help, and the larger the garden the more help they will need. You take care of the geenhouse, weed, 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; it’s a blessing when someone offers to help.
If you can find sales on fresh or organic vegetables at the end of summer, get then in large quantities and either have them canned or frozen. If you have a large deep freeze you can freeze quite a bit of items. 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 just eat by the hands full in the middle of winter as it is snowing outside.
Look around and see what you have in your neighborhood or local city area. There are many, many opportunities awaiting for your abilities and skills, but they won’t come knocking on your door!
Good luck with your new food habit!
