I have been on a long journey for some time now getting back to understanding some things that keep us free.  The ability to grow one’s own food is a part of the freedom.  So, the question comes up at times, why do we want to grow our own food?

If we can’t grow our own food, then we can always be manipulated by food via government.  Not only that, but what passes as “food” today is utterly criminal, in my opinion.

And before you say you can’t do it, watch this short report on a family that grew 6,000 pounds of food per year on 1/10 acre in downtown Los Angeles!

Jason Matyas from Seeds for Generations recently wrote on this topic in an email.

How can you tell how fresh and healthy grocery store produce actually is?

All fruits and vegetables start losing precious nutrients as soon as they’re picked! And for some crops, you can be eating them weeks or even months later.

For example, did you know that most grocery store carrots are 1 to 9 months old depending on when you buy them?

Cold storage does help fresh vegetables last longer. But chemical coatings, gasses, waxes, and soy-based proteins are also used to keep produce from spoiling on the long trip from the farm to your table.

And they aren’t very good for your immune system either.

The true solution to better health and better food is right in your backyard…

It’s gardening! Because gardens HEAL.

When you plant a garden, you aren’t just growing your own food. You’re planting seeds of hope.

Hope for a healthier body with less pain and more energy.

Hope that you can feed your family and rely less on the grocery store.

Hope that things will be better in the future, even if they aren’t today.

I call them seeds of hope because gardening gives you real, solid proof that you’re taking a step forward to claim your health and independence.

Matyas was writing to promote a free upcoming Superfood Garden Summit that’s taking place July 17-21.  Among the things that you will learn are:
