I had to share this website...

This website is wonderful in how to take control of your own food for your own family. They're promoting bringing back the victory garden except for you and your family called a Freedom Garden. It promotes growing natural food for your family in your own backyard or patio. Its just one family and how they do it all etc.
I used to do most of what they're doing in my 20's, which made me an outcast amongst my peers-
I made my own soap since I have severe allergies to perfume, I canned and grew a small garden. Now, I am growing three gardens and I have chickens. I compost and I am going to can our food and freeze the rest and maybe next year I will expand to have even more. I am going to create a cold-frame too so we can grow food in the winter as well.
I think the more people start doing this, going back to the way people use too, the more we'll feel in control and won't rely on the economy's up and down swings on how we feed our families.
