Food For Free

We've come to a point in history when our food system is alarmingly dysfunctional, dependent on insecure resources and characterized by inequalities of access. The land and seeds are owned by fewer and more powerful interests, depriving us of diversity and security. In these times, the most powerful thing you can do is to grow and forage a little food, support local producers, eat seasonably, speak up and teach others.

Growing and foraging some of what you eat is very likely to be life changing. You will finally realize the connection between where your food comes from and the story behind it as well as better taste. I believe that few people can grow food and remain unchanged.

The quality of your food will be improved, your money saved, you will meet new friends, build communities and maybe inspire others to do the same. A small step taken by many creates more impact than a single individual and I truly hope this course will help you to find joy in eating the best food there is, especially when you grow it or forage for it. It gives me satisfaction that my family gets to eat the best of whatever the season gives.

And if it's the only reason that inspires you to sow the seeds or start a vegetable garden, so be it. It's the best reason there is. Learn more about wild plants and herbs and use them in healthy recipes.
