Suggestions for cutting costs
#6
Get to know your neighbors who are also growing/producing.... In my neck of the woods we have a very loose approach to barter. "What you have in abundance, share". When I have eggs that have not sold, I give them to people in our little "group". I am delighted to come home and find lettuce in my fridge. Last time it had a few bell peppers and tomatoes in with it. I enjoy dropping by with a loaf of bread, some eggs, etc. It is a great idea to grow all your own stuff, but realistically, not everyone has large land available, and most people get good at growing one or two things, so do what you do best! I find green beans grow really well here. You can harvest them twice a week and when I saw them in the grocery store for $4.49/lb I knew what a big part of the garden will be this season!

I want to be the kind of woman that, when my feet
hit the floor each morning, the devil says

"Oh Crap, She's up!"
