Inspiring Website - Path To Freedom

If you haven't been to this website and read this story, you should.  www.pathtofreedom.com

It is about a family in California who grow edibles on their urban lot - urban homesteading they call it.  They even have chickens and goats!  They are able to produce 80% of their food in the summer and about 55% in the winter - impressive!!  There is a video to watch that shows their place.

They are starting a challenge similar to the Victory Gardens of WWII - Freedom Gardens.  I think this is fantastic - everyone should have a closer connection to where their food comes from - and try to grow some of their own.  This is a valuable skill to have and to pass on to the next generation.  And hey it saves money!

I checked out path to freedom awhile ago, but haven't been there lately. Thanks for the reminder!
It's been fun watching your chicken coop go up. And your garden looks great! A little further along than ours, but hopefully we'll catch up soon!

I will check out the website, I think everyone should grow a little something at least. There are so many good reasons to garden.
