When we change over to eating raw foods it can be quite
expensive. The ultimate is to grow your own 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!
