It is raspberries season, and I am so excited! I found another local farmer about 20 minutes from my place that sells freshly picked raspberries among other fruits and veggies. I was at my local natural food store when I saw the raspberries- there were California ones and local ones. No brainer on which ones […]

Project Green Foot- Week 42
We spent more money on food this week than usual. I found a gem of a farm about an hour north of us- Runaway Creek Farm. It really is perfect, and so beautiful. They have 5 grass-fed cows, 6 grass-fed pig, lots of chickens, bees and acres upon acres of grass and gardens. They are […]
Project Green Foot- Week 40
When I first began shopping at La Moisson, the natural food store near my house, it always bothered me that they repackaged their food in plastic bags. I have asked on a few occasions to why they use this method, but nobody could ever give me a straight answer. They always looked at me with […]
Project Green Foot- Week 37
The one thing I was hoping to never purchase was disposable diapers. This past week, little E had a rash that was out of control, so we had to take her to see our naturopath. It was recommended that she wear a disposable diaper at night, so that we could slather Calendula diaper cream (contains […]

For the most part, all our friends and family have been supportive and respectful of our “no-waste gifts” theme, and we have been very appreciative of this. I think everyone knows by now how much I dislike creating waste, and […]
Project Green Foot- Week 34
As you all probably know by now, I love my local farmer at the market. When I like a product or company, I tend to be loyal to them. It is not different when it comes to the local famers at the market! I love his prices, his produce and his attitude, so why look […]
Project Green Foot- Week 33
I am frequently asked how long does the food we purchase on a weekly basis last? In general, the produce gets eaten within a week with some stragglers that need to be eaten the following week. Since we juice and drink smoothies daily and eat lots of fresh produce it is not difficult to consume all the fruits and veggies […]
