Farm pigs

I live in a small farm town community. All our old produce can go in a bag in the freezer and drop it off at your local farmer. They will use it to feed their sheep and pigs.

Make It Homemade!

I have been “making my own” for so many things and the ingredients can usually be purchased package free. Consider the prepared food items you buy and think about what you can make. It does take more time, but with practice comes efficiency. I recently started making homemade ice cream. I borrowed a friend’s ice cream maker, and buy the milk and cream in glass returnable bottles. It is so much better homemade and no ice cream carton to throw away. Buy used equipment or borrow from a friend. Before Covid, there were deli counters where you could buy food…

Growing Sprouts on our Kitchen Counter

We are adding to our supply of fresh vegies by growing exactly the amount of sprouts we want for our salads and and sandwiches by sprouting seeds in mason jars on our kitchen counter. Many varieties of seeds are available in packs and in bulk at the coop, sandwich sprout mix, broccoli seeds, lentils, chick peas, etc.

It's good to hear you have a close connection within your community that allows you to not only divert food scraps but to feed sheep and pigs with it instead. Keep using that network!
