Farming
CSA's
CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture where farmers are able to sell their products directly to consumers. The community who invest in them either through time or money are able to be more closely involved in their food’s production and can often be a more reliable way of eating safe and healthy foods.
Starting Your Own Garden
Starting a garden is a great way to produce food for yourself or your family. But keep in mind in order to be completely reliant on your own produce you will have to produce large quantities. Oftentimes collaborating on a CSA or community garden can be a more efficient way of producing the high volume needed to survive.
- If you don’t have a lot of space, consider starting a container garden.
- If you don’t have good soil, purchase humus soil or top soil. Add peat moss, composted manure and plant fertilizers.
- Choose vegetables and herbs that are easy to grow, including beans and peas, carrots, greens like lettuce, cabbage, spinach and kale, potatoes and sweet potatoes, squash, tomatoes, broccoli, berries and melons.
- There are plenty of natural fertilizers around your home such as pasta water (wait until it cools down), coffee grounds, eggshells, or banana peels.
