BETTER food

GOOD FOOD!
Every cell of our bodies is made from what we eat and drink...and what drugs we put in it.
Doesn't it make sense to know what is really going into our food? And if we grow it we can know it.

In 2024 I made a greater commitment to this ideal. I began growing my garden in earnest. When I researched 'grow your own food in a year' I found out you have to put in 120 carrot plants PER PERSON!? REALLY!??
So I knew I had to be more organized. Successive planting, fertilizing with worm tea and organic bone meal were just the beginning. I had to do my own starts, be more careful about watering, and use more greenhouse sleeves for longer harvest time in the PNW. I had to begin canning and added a tiny fridge for overflow produce. I have to thank those fellow homesteaders who post their knowledge and wisdom on the subject for everyone to see.

This u turn in my life naturally led to the next step. I knew people myself who had started homesteading (becoming self sufficient and 'off grid' in other ways) and started to notice I was doing the same thing. In my web surfing I  stumbled on more information about what is in our commercial food. I learned more about what big producers do to make more money making veggies, fruit, meat and dairy- it was shocking.
I already knew about organic food because throughout my life I have taken nutrition classes, worked at food co-ops, and experienced better tasting food that was locally grown or organic. However I personally had not realized the extent food corporations were comprimising safe food for profit. I know, I know, some of you have known this for years!! (and some of you could care less)

Almost all pork has MRNA vaccines in it. No....the 'snopes' and fact checkers links on web are not correct...YES mrna is used in food and in some cases like pork it's been in use since 2018. Why? Well you can look up the reasons yourself. You can do your own research, but one reason is with consumers wanting less antibiotics in food many food makers are turning to gene editing, vaccines (gene editing too) and more.
You can even go to meat producer sites to see for yourself. Many boldly talk about their vaccine and chemical altering usage. All this while other producers are being undundated with concerned calls from customers about meat additives and animal vaccinations. So, many small producers are declaring their meat 'unvaccinated' and are claiming they never will.
There are even university studies I found that are concerned with mrna in meat because it doesn't stop there with 'making safer meat'. The gene editing translates right into human cells too.
​I believe our food was safe to begin with. If made like we used to, no gene editing, chemicals, careful processing and NOT JUST FOR PROFIT.

So what better way to know what you are eating than raising it yourself. Like millions of other folks before us, still doing it after thousands of years.
In addition, why not try buying/trading from farmers you know or can visit.

SIDE NOTE: All I know is at 55 I don't get sick, like almost never. I don't need pharmacuticals and I don't have allergies. Is this good genetics from my parents? or is it just good genetics from mental intention and what goes in the bod? I have never gotten covid, never gotten the experimental covid vaccines, never taken pharmacuticals (but Ibuprofen) and use herbs or natural medicine long before I try anything else.
​Link to two of many medical journal docs about the experimental MRNA vaccine for Covid.

This year I began to attempt to supply about 20-30% of my food from my own efforts in the garden, orchard and poultry realm. Besides most vegatables (except those out of season) I craft, grow and make eggs, wine, bread, pasta, herbs, teas, preserves. Chicken and goose meat are on their way, I just needed a year to set up the coops, yards and breeds.

In addition I began a mostly Meat barter: building a tiny house for trade from a non-vaccinating non chemical farm. (I don't need vaccines in my body or my food thank you).

ANOTHER SIDE NOTE: People say to me, "well I can't afford that kind of food". REALLY? But your car is like $40,000.00, and you pay $100 a month to color your hair?!
What goes into your body is what you are made of! How can you not afford it.....

The above parcel of trade food in the photograph is $212 at this local farm I love. It included: 2 packs of Kune Kune bacon (insanely delicious by the way), cottage bacon, pig cheeks, 2 t bone steaks, 2 pork chops, 4 sausages, wadgu hamburger, 2 qts grape juice (best I ever had), qt peach salsa, qt regular salsa, 1/2 pint apple pear butter, 2 qrts fermented pickles (won't ever eat regular again! LOL) and qrt of pears.
I priced it out on the internet with average organic meat/canned goods of the same quantity and quality- that I could find. Many of these things: Kune Kune pig bacon, cheeks and cottage bacon had to be bought online. And several things were very hard to find commercially.
After all of that I discovered I had saved $30!!!!!! 
Not that I personally cared about the savings. I am not motivated by money, getting 'a discount' off someones hard work,  nor am I one to skimp on good health.

What I am doing is neither new nor rare. You can type in 'homesteaders' and find millions of people who do this in other countries because they have to. In the U.S. it is a rising fad of an intelligent kind.

Makes sense to me that food sovereignty and it's purity can provide another layer of self security and confidence in a bizarre and complicated world.
