Comments on: Getting Real With Food, Pt. 12 Finding Great Sources of Food http://heavenlyhomemakers.com/getting-real-with-food-pt-12-finding-great-sources-of-food Encouraging women in homemaking, healthy eating and parenting Mon, 06 Sep 2010 03:37:36 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Kate http://heavenlyhomemakers.com/getting-real-with-food-pt-12-finding-great-sources-of-food/comment-page-1#comment-4664 Kate Sat, 23 Aug 2008 17:22:50 +0000 http://heavenlyhomemakers.com/getting-real-with-food-pt-12-finding-great-sources-of-food#comment-4664 What a great post Laura. You are such an inspiration to me as we make slow changes in our eating habits. I'm always looking for new sources to find the food that I really want us to be eating. It gets discouraging at times, but you've exposed me to some options I never thought of. Also, thanks so much for that link to Local Harvest. I found some things closer to us that I never knew about! I'm really excited to look into them further. What a great post Laura. You are such an inspiration to me as we make slow changes in our eating habits.

We're in the process of all the canning and freezing ourselves. We also have a few apples, grapes & blackberries. No coops here, but wish there was. We are getting chickens and our friends want the eggs. I also read your part about snacks & I have 2 hungry all the time boys myself and have found that if I take a day and make snacks & have them individual they are not always after you for something to eat & they are really good about only getting what they are allowed to.

I just went and requested a catalog from Azure and my husband and I will check it out together later. I am so sick of eating highly processed foods and we're starting to change that, slowly, but surely. Keep up the great work! I get so excited and inspired reading your blog.

I look forward to reading each new post. I hope you will continue with this wonderful series. I also wanted to point out that even if Azure does not have a group in your area, you can order and have it shipped through UPS. I realize they don't ship all items, but there are some really great deals on other items like grain, flour, oats and oils. It might be worth looking into for some of you ladies. They are not in my area, so paying for shipping is my only option as well. I am so enjoying the Getting Real series. I look forward to reading each new post.

I would like some ideas on how to make little changes to start with. Could you give me some ideas on where to start?

I have contacted them and they aren't and don't have plans as of now to be. :( And since you mentioned getting real with food, you might like my post today about what is in pop,soda, or whatever you all it. The visual I did is pretty gross. Thanks for sharing your sources. Once again I wish Azure standard was in my area.

I always keep my ears open when friends say "my grandpa's apple trees are ripe and he doesn't know what to do with them all' so they were free for the picking, the corn was free for the picking, so yes we depend on friends for some of this that we can't grow. My DH will go pick Elderberries from a road ditch this weekend so I can make up some jelly and juice-you know this is very good for your immune system. I also give back to the giver some of the finished product or like make an apple pie with the apples, etc. Lisa This is great to know that someone else out there really does can & freeze :) we are canning green beans, froze corn, freezing applesauce, freezing salsa peppers until I have enough tomatoes for a batch. freeze brussel sprouts when they come on. shred zucchini and freeze for baking.
