in our area and I think the food co-op is a better choice for us anyway. It's only $50 for the annual membership and I can order only when I want, what I want.

Since my husband stopped eating meat for the most part, I've found new tastes for things I had previously ignored and new ways to prepare meals. It's a slow process to get to this point but it does work.

For gardening, you may want to look into the square foot gardening method. Check this out!:

I just borrowed the book from the library and it's a really simple concept:

You can do this on a small or large scale. Even just a single box on a patio or deck, if necessary. Once one thing is harvested, you stir in a little more compost and plant the next crop in rotation.

Thanx for your efforts in supporting local agriculture. :hi:
