This week I've stumbled upon some really great resources if you or your family are interested in starting a backyard garden or even if you just want to show your kids where food really comes from!
This is something that has crossed my mind recently. I want both of my kids to grow up knowing where their food comes from. Not at all like the picture below.

Interesting, right? I know, super far fetched, but you never know where our kids could end up! I for one, need to be better about completely "ditching" the fast food lifestyle. The stuff is just complete junk.
Anyway, I came across a picture on Instagram of these Grow Your Own Mushrooms Kits from Back to the Roots, and I thought Ruby would really enjoy helping me grow these. It would be a fun project for her and I to do together. Plus, I love mushrooms, so why not try and grow my own? They make it seem extremely easy in the directions, too. Order two kits at $19.95 per kit and get FREE shipping? Not half bad!
I also found this awesome Make Your Own Vegetables Seed Kit from the Bulk Herb Store. All of the seeds included in this kit are Heirloom seeds, passed down from generation to generation. I hope to purchase my own kit in the near future. Now, if this weather would just cooperate and get warm! ;) If you would like to purchase your own kit, please click on the Bulk Herb Store icon on my sidebar and peruse around their lovely online catalog!

If you're interested in being able to grow some indoor plants, then check this link out! Onions, Bean Sprouts, Herbs, etc.. can thrive while growing indoors. I never knew that before!
My family recently joined our local CSA and I'm super excited about it! CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture for those of you who don't know. It means that we purchase a share, then the farmers pick the produce and divide it up among the shareholders. Each week we will be getting new organic crops to cook, freeze, can, or use however we please!
The reason we did this was because with 2 small children, plus all of our other commitments, we really don't have the time to plant and tend to a large backyard garden ourselves, although we do plan on having a small one. The price is certainly reasonable and you can add in egg shares and honey or fruit as well. I'm not going to lie, the idea of supporting a local organic farm makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside, too. haha
Here's a great tip for growing your own foods:
I hope maybe this inspires you to start growing your own this Summer season! I know I'm inspired! :)
Have an awesome Thursday!
