Food prices are soaring and they are only going to get worse. It’s challenging to try to live a Sustainable Living type lifestyle in America regardless of your situation. It’s nearly impossible if you’re alone, disabled or even if you’re just not feeling well.

This is why this is such a critical issue. Growing your own food can play such a vital part in your life in regards to preventing illness or even injury. When you eat healthy you feel better. When you feel better you are more productive and you think better. When you think better you are less likely to suffer injury.

Eating healthy is just a smart thing to do and unless you make A LOT of money; growing your own is just about the only way anyone can afford to do it. EVERYONE can grow at least some vegetables. If that is too challenging (given your situation) absolutely, without question, every one CAN grow some of the most nutritious foods known to man; sprouts.

In many cities there are no prohibitions against growing chickens and many people even raise goats. We need to change our perceptions of eating and what is food. We need to eat simply. We need to aim for what is healthy and available instead of just ignorantly satisfying indulgences. More on that later. But growing our own will soon be one of the only ways we can accomplish these goals; if it’s not already.

I’ll see you out in the field,
