Tips to eating organic foods and going raw on a budget

Eating organic and going raw can get expensive. Here are some tips:

When we change over to eating raw foods it can be quite expensive. The ultimate is to grow your own garden. If you have a back yard you can grow a pretty decent sized one. Otherwise, get a few planters and grow a couple of tomato plants along the patio wall, and put a couple of eggplants inside the porch door with one large circular planter. Make each vegetable plant its own design with surrounding works of art.

I put a little garden here of one type of veggies and then another one on the south side of the yard. The sky is the limit what you can do. If you can find someone who has an organic garden, offer to help them in exchange for food items. Most people need help, and the larger the garden the more help they will need. You could weed, take care of the greenhouse, monitor customers who need assistance, and prepare plants for reselling. Very few people refuse good honest labor; I know I wouldnt! Working in a garden all spring, summer and fall is exhausting work; someone to help us would be a blessing.

If you can find sales on organic or fresh vegetables toward the end of the summer seasons, buy them at bulk and either freeze or can your favorite dishes. If you have a large deep freeze you can freeze quite a bit of items. Otherwise, get a dehydrator and dry your food items. These do not need special storage and can be added to soups and stews, casseroles, or just eat by the hands full in the middle of winter as it is snowing outside.

Look around and see what you have in your neighborhood or local city area. There are many, many opportunities that are waiting for your attention and skill, but they wont come knocking on your door! Good luck with your new raw food ways!

Note from Wayne: Uri products incorporate an abundance of live, organic raw foods into their superfoods whole-foods drinks line. I encourage you to give them a try ... especially "The Feast". The Feast is rich with many nutrient-dense live whole foods. Even the hard-core red meat eater can drink this, and truly enjoy it. The Feast actually tastes good which is extremely rare for a "green" drink superfood. I hope you enjoyed this article here at www.green-drinks.com.
