When we change over to eating raw foods it can be quite expensive. The suitable solution is to have 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 imminent works of art. I put a little garden here of one type of vegetables and then another one on the south side of the yard. The sky is the limit what you can do.
When you can find a person who has an organic garden, volunteer to assist them in exchange for food items. Most people need assistance, and they need more help if they have a larger garden. You take care of the geenhouse, weed, 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 is a tiring job; it’s a blessing when someone offers to help.
When you’ll find sales on fresh or organic veggies towards the end of summer, buy them at bulk and either can or freeze your favorite dishes. If you have a huge deep freeze you can freeze quite a bit of items. Otherwise, get a dehydrator and have them dried. These do not need special storage and can be added to stews and soups, casseroles, or just eat by the hands full in the middle of winter as it is snowing outside.
See what’s available in your community or neighborhood. There are a lot of opportunities that are waiting for your skills and attention, but you must seek for them!
The best of luck with your new food habit!
