An unrehearsed conversation with myself as I think on fall as an opportunity to plan for next years garden diligently and try a few things outdoors.

I know I know, it sounds too good to be true but I’m here to tell you - it’s true! I so wish I had this resource when I began my conversion to becoming more naturally minded and homesteading.

It can be tough to try and navigate the grocery store isles for healthier, more nutrient dense foods but, I’ve got a few tips!

Eating locally is more accessible than one may think (in the US). There is an abundance backyard gardeners, first time homesteaders and CSA (community supported agriculture) around! If you want to become a local eater, I highly recommended “The Locavore Way” by Amy Cotler. It’s a wonderful book explaining all The Who, what, when, where, why and how with additional readings and a list of videos too!
