Interesting. I don’t think I’ve ever used oil.

Wow! I wish I had a UPick near me like that! That sounds like an awesome way to get fresh veggies and fruits. Thank you for sharing your story. I love hearing people’s stories of the way they were grown up. I’ve heard a lot of that where they didn’t eat meat a lot and sweets where only a Sunday treat because the pastor might come and eat with you. I am glad you are eating that way. I am guilty of submitting to the modern days and I really want to get back to the way it used to be! God bless you

I don’t like doing dishes either lol

[soma_farms]

That’s great! Don’t worry I have perishables that I’m not letting go bad either – groceries are too expensive for that! At least Azure comes from good farmers. I’d love to share recipes amongst each other!

I am not knocking anyone that produces food organically. This is simply a healthy challenge that supports your local community. It is virtually impossible, especially today, to have everything you need locally. For example, unless you have a few as house plants (which they are hard to keep, I failed) you can’t grow black pepper here. I know our family uses this a lot for seasoning. To me, this challenge goes even deeper because that is something that I’ll be mindful of to have more stocked up just in case.

[soma_farms]

Yes, exactly!

[soma_farms]

Awesome!

[soma_farms]

Yes, I get that. I think the point of the challenge is eating better – no (chemically) processed foods also cooking from scratch and to support your local community (farmers/other homesteaders that sell their excess). It doesn’t mean that you can buy a loaf of fresh made bread from your locally bakery even though the flour was grown somewhere else.

[soma_farms]

Thank you! Maybe you could try another time or see how close you can get to eating locally?

[soma_farms]

Yes, please! I hope everyone does this!

[soma_farms]

I was looking into lodge. I think I’ll probably go with that.

[soma_farms]

Thank you. I have a Lodge and I do like that one!

[soma_farms]

Thank you, yes I’ll be paying more attention this time when I go to buy it so it’s made here in the USA!
