Shifting to eating raw foods can be quite expensive. The ultimate is to grow 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. Make each veggie plant its own design with imminent works of art. I put a little garden here of one type of veggies and then another one on the south side of the yard. The sky is the limit what you can do.

When you know someone who has an organic garden, volunteer to assist them in exchange for food items. Most people need assistance, 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. Very few people refuse good honest labor; I know I wouldn’t! Working in a garden all spring, summer and fall is exhausting work; someone to help us would be a blessing.

If you’ll find sales on organic or fresh veggies towards the end of summer, get then in large quantities and either freeze or can your favorite dishes. If you have a huge deep freeze you can freeze quite a bit of items. Otherwise, get a dehydrator and dry them. A special storage is not needed and can be added to stews and soups, casseroles, or just eat by the hands full 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 skills and capacities, but you must seek for them!

The best of luck with your new food habit!
