It could be expensive having a new food habit eating raw foods. Having your own garden is the viable solution. 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. Make each veggie 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.
If you know someone who owns an organic garden, volunteer to assist them in exchange for food items. Most people need help, and the larger the garden the more help they will need. You take care of the geenhouse, weed, 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 is a blessing if someone offers to help.
When you find sales on fresh or organic veggies at the end of summer, buy them at bulk and either can or freeze your favorite dishes. If you have a huge deep freeze you can freeze quite a bit of items. Otherwise, have a dehydrator and have them dried. A special storage is not needed and can be added to soups and stews, casseroles, or eat by using your hands in the middle of winter as it is snowing outside.
See what’s available in your community or neighborhood. There are a lot of opportunities that are waiting for your abilities and skills, but they won’t come knocking on your door!
Good luck with your new raw food ways!
