Maybe you've read our posts on it, and maybe not. But there are plenty of reasons you'll find you feel drawn to it. My original list of 6 or 7 things has gradually grown to more like 20. Learning to eat on what the land will grow is spiritual. It's a lesson in being provided for and in turn protecting and providing for the land. Our Lord granted us this earth - and whether or not global warming is true (I believe it to be, but that aside, it is the argument of late), we should be good stewards of what we are given. We are to care for our neighbor (our local economy). It is much more rewarding to give my money to a local farm, a grandmother and grandfather that work the land, hard, day in and day out their entire life. <br /><br />Yesterday my husband and I went to Meijer. As we walked around looking at things we like to have on hand and things we need to have on hand, we've noticed that we're learning we don't need many things we would have considered staples before. We are learning to live on our midwestern land. Green onions? They came all the way from mexico. Did they really make the bulk of difference in our recipe? No. Leave them behind. Apples? We've been able to select local varieties by eating fuji instead of pink lady for the time. <br /><br />I think you'll be enjoying the adventure, as we are! Next year we hope to delve more, and the year after to be growing much of our own!Eviehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15617688129054265204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6017108164858542517.post-51317430289759604812009-12-12T21:23:47.020-08:002009-12-12T21:23:47.020-08:00This was very helpful thanks for posting!This was very helpful thanks for posting!Lilymm04https://www.blogger.com/profile/08247474689411228957noreply@blogger.com
