Grow your food

 Local Food Exhibit

This photograph explains very well one of the most important way to be green. Growing you own food!! However, I do not have green space in which I can grow food. Then what to do? Some towns and cities are now having great organizations that are providing neighborhoods with community gardens in which you can grow your own food. Others, in the city, are creating rooftop gardens! I encourage you to research more information about growing your own food in your area. If there is no organization and you are very passionate about it, then why not take the initiative and start it up!

There are also many ways you can (somewhat) grow your own food. Join a CSA, here you pay a farm for a piece of land and the food that is grown is yours to keep! It is an amazing way to get fresh fruits, vegetables, meat, flowers, etc. Also now that summer is around the corner, Farmer's Market's are another amazing way to get fresh produce, eggs, meat, flowers and much more! You get to meet the farmer and feel amazing! Farmer's Market's vary per location. Many of them have entertainment, free samples and amazing people around! Check out here for the Farmer's Market near you!!

I encourage you to start by visiting a Farmer's Market, get to know the different farms around your area, ask a farm of your interest if they have CSA or any program in which you can grow food!
