March Against Monsanto

I was so glad to see such a huge turn out for March Against Monsanto. 

I vend at my local farmer's market and made up signs and put them at my tables. I did get quite a few people commenting on them. I was in fact so pleased with the amount of comments regarding my signs, that I will be putting them up at my table each week. I will be making more so I can vary my messages each week. 

March against Monsanto on May 25th is just the kick off of a campaign. We need to do this regularly to raise more awareness. This is working to get more and more people involved in their food decisions. 

I am planning on helping people take more control over their food. We all need to start growing our own food on some level. 

There are certain things that anyone and everyone can grow in their home, apartment or anywhere they can hang a grow light or have access to a sunny window. 

Some low cost easy to start things can be purchased from your local grocery store. You can get a bunch of organic green onions and use the green tops and replant the white bottoms with the roots after you soak them in water for a few days. It is a very economical way to stretch your food budget and have fresh produce when you need it. You can also do this with celery and romaine lettuce too.

Reclaim your food restore your health

If you are interested in growing your own food and learning more about what is in the foods at your grocery store and how to create healthier foods and save some money than this is the place for you. 
Follow me on my journey into gardening, striving to create a plan for year round gardening, both indoors and outdoors, all on a shoestring budget. 

I have become increasingly alarmed at what is happening to our food we find in the grocery store and what factory farming is doing to our community, our food chain and our bodies. I am also concerned with trying to eat the best possible food for the least amount of money. I try to combine value shopping, deals at local produce and farmers markets and even bartering from time to time, in order to get the best deals on the best foods. 

Please follow me on my journey to becoming as self sufficient as possible with my growing.
