Some Tips in Dealing with Expensive Organic and Raw Food Habits.

When we change over to eating raw foods it 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. Make each veggie plant its own design with surrounding 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 a person who has an organic garden, volunteer to assist them in exchange for food items. Most people need assistance, and the larger the garden the more help they will need. You take care of the geenhouse, weed, prepare plants for reselling, monitor customers who need assistance. Very few people refuse good honest labor; I know I wouldn’t! Working in a garden all spring, summer and fall is is a tiring work; someone to help us would be a blessing.
When you find sales on organic or fresh vegetables toward the end of the summer seasons, get then in large quantities and either freeze or can your favorite dishes. If you have a large deep freeze you can freeze quite a bit of items. Or else, have a dehydrator and dry them. These do not need special storage and can be added to soups and stews, casseroles, or eat by using your hands in the middle of winter as it is snowing outside.
See what’s available in your community or neighborhood. There are a lot of opportunities that are waiting for your skills and attention, but they won’t come knocking on your door!
Good luck with your new raw food ways!
