Homegrown Resilience
Worried about petrol prices? Forget about your car, what about food prices when imports are impacted and the trucks can't get food to your supermarket.
Then what?
There's never been a better time to think about your own local food resilience. Something that has been a big thing for me for many years. I've lasted 8 months in the past eating only fruit & vege from my own garden, including a lot of foraged food.
Right now I am:
~ Sowing seeds for winter crops
~ Transplanting seedlings into the vege garden
~ Looking after my fruit trees & looking for gaps to plant more
~ Preserving the Summer harvest for use throughout the year
~ Gathering and dyring herbs for herbal medicine making
~ Making compost & building new beds for more food growing
~ Foraging, every day...
If you're not sure where to start, I can totally recommend learning to forage NOW. It doesn't take very long, and you can forage for some wild greens for dinner TODAY (unlike vege gardening which takes months to create healthy soil and grow vege)...
As you hopefully know by now, I offer:
~ 4 x Foraging Guides written specifically for NZ foraging
~ A Grassroots Herbalism guide, to empower you to craft your own herbal medicine
~ A Online Foraging Course (if you prefer learning via video content).
~ Foraging Workshops
~ Get a group of people together and contact me for a private foraging workshop (details on my website under 'bespoke foraging').
