Eating Organic and Going Raw Can Get
Expensive
Eating
organic and going raw can get expensive. Here are some tips:
When
we change over to eating raw foods it can be quite expensive. The
ultimate is to grow your own vegetable 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. Make
each vegetable 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 someone who has an organic garden, offer to help them in
exchange for food items. Most people need help, and the larger the
garden the more help they will need. 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.
If you can find
sales on organic or fresh vegetables toward the end of the summer
seasons, buy them at bulk and either freeze or can your favorite
dishes. 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 soups and stews,
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
that are waiting for your attention and skill, but they won’t come
knocking on your door!
Good luck with your new raw food ways!..
