It could be expensive having a new food habit eating raw foods. The ultimate solution is growing 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. Have 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 help them in exchange for food items. Most people need help, and the larger the garden the more help they will need. You could weed, take care of the greenhouse, monitor customers who need assistance, and prepare plants for reselling. Only a few people refuse good honest labor; I know I wouldn’t! Working in a garden all spring, summer and fall is exhausting work; it’s a blessing when someone offers to help.
If you can find sales on organic or fresh vegetables at the end of summer, get then in large quantities and either can or freeze your favorite dishes. If you have a large deep freeze you can freeze bulk of them. Otherwise, have a dehydrator and have them dried. These do not need special storage and can be added to stews and soups, casseroles, or eat by using your hands in the middle of winter as it is snowing outside.
See what’s available in your area or community. There are many, many opportunities awaiting for your abilities and skills, but they won’t come knocking on your door!
Good luck with your new raw food ways!
