Oh dear, I wish my thumb were not so black as it is!! fortunately for me we have a great grocer that sells locally grown stuff. I loved reading your thoughts, and you are right, it is all intrinsically connected, where things like out food and clothing both come from, and how feasible is it to make/grow your own rather than rely on things transported halfway around the world? I know it's not always possible to get things any other way, but at least we can try to support local resources and make a difference in our own lives as much as we can. :)

Hello Mama Pea! Somehow it all seems intrinsically connected! Your garden always amazes me and continues to inspire me. You have been a big factor in our gardening endeavor in trying to grow what we grow. :)

Love, love, love the idea of a vending machine to buy local farmer's produce! We don't have anything like that here. Our neighboring towns do have a weekly Farmer's Market during the growing season for our local farmers that is also very popular. Hope you are able to have a flock of chickens someday! :)

Some wonderfully sensible thoughts about food on a sewing blog! That lettuce looks so good. It will be a while before our garden produces our first salad greens, but you are so right. They taste like nothing you can buy in a store!

We have the same movement over here. Not in the big cities but in the small town I live inorganic and local grown food is a huge topic! We have vending machine were you can buy eggs,milk, apples and other stuff from local farmers around the clock!
Sadly Marvin and I are living in a flat. we grow tomatoes and citrons on our balcony but that's it. I would love to keep some chickens and really grow vegetables and I think it is great that you do! :) Thanks for sharing :)

Completely agree! And 500 birds is a huge flock!!! We have 5 sweet ladies. :)

I grew up this way but have to live differently at the moment. One day. My parents used to run a free range poultry farm in the UK, where I was born. 500 birds. And produce was sold below market price at the local market so poorer people could afford to buy them. Those sort of people do not exist in the world now (people like my parents), so it is nice to see younger people especially thinking about these ways of life, before they are lost.
