Hello Friend!
Are you tired of spending hundreds of dollars at the grocery store each month? Since we have been gardening and growing our own food for several years, I was shocked at the cost of food at the grocery store! I had to buy more food this year because we moved and I wasn’t able to have a garden last year. It is no wonder why families can’t afford healthy food from the store. Not only is it so much more expensive, but even buying organic doesn’t guarantee that your food is toxic free. When you grow your own food, you know how the food is grown and guarantees that it wasn’t sprayed with anything toxic if you want organic food. I like knowing what seeds I have and the process that is used to grow our fruits and vegetables.
I am encouraging you to start a garden this year whether it be pots in a window in your apartment or your suburban homestead. You don’t need any special equipment. Many times you will find free pots listed on marketplace or garage sales and it doesn't even need to be pots, anything you can put soil in and plant is going to get you started on your journey. They have bags you can plant a garden in, we have used 50 gallon barrels cut in half and made raised beds, but those we had to put items with shallow roots as tomatoes needed a deeper raised bed. If you are overwhelmed thinking about growning a garden, I challenge you to just take some money from your food budget to buy a few seeds and try to grow just a few items that you and your family eat often and learn how to grow and preserve that item and then next year, add a few more. Just growing a few items can save money and stretch your grocery budget much further. Think about tomatoes-even if you don’t want to start them from seeds, get a few plants-you can preserve tomato sauce, tomato juice, tomato soup, crushed tomates, diced tomatoes, tomatoes paste, pizza sauce and then if you buy or grow a few other items like peppers, you can also make spaghetti sauce, marinara sauce, salsa, rotel and the list goes on and on.
I am going to teach you how to can and preserve some items in my program coming up, so get on waitlist if you haven’t already, so you are the first to know when it is released with special offers! I am so excited to teach you simple cooking from scratch, replacing simple grocery store items to save you money and also eliminate unnecessary ingredients that are making your food unhealthy. If you are busy, this program is for you. It is bite size, step by step videos in a short amount of time, so you can be confident in creating food from scratch in your home quickly!
I will reveal my list of seeds I will be growing in the facebook group, so join us there! Link is below!
Have a great week!
