“Or what if I had simply grown up in a time when food was seasonal? When there was, in each year, a time of more and a time of less? When food was not just there in packages on the supermarket shelf all year?”

Welcome to another edition of Food Roots!

Our food system is destroying the soil, wasting valuable resources and making us sick. The only thing that is sustainable and the only thing that can reverse the many complications of a broken food system is to get back to our food roots. We must plant the seeds ourselves. We must shake the hand of the farmer who grows our food. We must take back our food system.

Where Does My Food Come From?

We had lettuce coming out of our ears this past week and so ate many, many salads. The garden has finally produced a few snacks like sugar snap peas. We have a new milk share with our csa farmer, which puts our milk closer to home. This past week we also enjoyed a local/real food anniversary.

So I ask you again – where does your food come from?
