Time for a change

For centuries we have always reaped our own harvest, now is a time more than any other that we need to continue this ancient tradition.   With a backyard small or large we have the ability to sustain our own food production and recycle food wastes into a rich fertile soil.
Keeping our food wholesome and in our own hands is the start being self sufficient.
