Grow. Eat. Be Happy.

Good Morning Saturday!

Today if you're looking for me, you can find me on the square, up the street from our house at the Farmer's Market.

I will have some baked goods, possibly some produce from the garden and lots of conversation :)
If you are local, come visit me!

All week long I've been thinking about the growing of food and where our food comes from and what it really means to support the local farmers/producers.

The impact our dollars have when it comes to the choices we make with food are huge.

Along the way I have been introduced to a series put out by Whole Foods called Grow.

Here are a few clips.




I am so drawn to these videos and what they stand for.
I'm totally in awe of these people, living in urban settings rocking out the garden/growing scene.
If they can accomplish these things, so can we!

If you have a bucket and some dirt, you're already half way there.

The cost of a seed packet and what it will provide you with far outweighs the tasteless stuff you find at the mega super store.
But you already know that right?
I thought so. :)

Clips 1-4 are also out there on You Tube.

Do you have a garden this year? What are you growing?
If you send me some pictures, I will post them on my blog so we can delight in what's being grown around the country.

Have a great weekend!
I will let you know how the Farmer's Market goes.

  2. The Jeter Jam is wonderful! Had it again this morning. :) Loved the cookies too! Forgot to tell you, the gutter lettuce idea is working like a charm. When it gets up and full looking, will send you pics. (or you could just walk over and look for yourself lol)
