I have a disease called leaky gut and I have to stick to strict diet otherwise ill experience inflammation all over my skin. I have not been doing this. I've been eating pleasurable, indulgent foods and it's hard to stop.
However, I want to change and I want to do it for you guys. As silly as this sounds, I feel like this movement merits me to make sacrifices. People fighting for our nation are making sacrifices, so I should be able to make sacrifices too.
This is gonna be hard, but I'm going to stop eating the pleasurable foods I shouldn't eat for the rest of this month. Wish me luck.
Find your local farmers market. Talk to the person selling the wares because they may or may not have even grown them. Ask about the scale of the farm, the varieties, how they tend the soil, and what they spray. You will easily tell if they are honestly growing it by the look on their face.
Very astute observation. The closer to the coast you'll find lots of people who pick up "from the docks". Who knows where that comes from. Even in south east PA that happens, even with Amish in the area. Market Gardening and No-Till are the new buzz words for small scale, low impact, natural farming methods. If you can search growers identifying by this you're in the right place. Happy Growing fren, almost time to start sowing seeds here.
Search "straw bale gardening" Awesome!
