Organic, All Natural, Sustainable, Grass Fed...

Organic, All Natural, Sustainable, Grass Fed, non-GMO, local food, and know your farmer are all words or phrases that are floating around in the blogosphere, on Twitter, Facebook, and in news feeds. 

Our intention in starting our little postage-stamp-sized backyard garden was not to support any one food movement or philosophy, but to take action and do something. 

We are a member of an Organic CSA, a local food buying club, and in the last year we started our own above ground garden.   It is a far cry from the family gardens we grew up with.  Now I wonder why I didn’t listen and do more when I had my parents to advise me.

It’s exciting when we can make an entire meal out of veggies we’ve grown in our backyard.  But, we’ve also learned our first gardening lesson recently.  We need a bigger garden if we plan not to starve!!! And we need to do better with planning what veggies to grow (and when), but we’re definitely achieving our primary short term goal and taking action.
