• Why food?

  
  Throwback at Trapper Creek — Authority: 417
  I would be rich if I had a dime for every time someone has asked me why we grow most of our own food.  Usually the reasoning is that you can earn money and just buy your food at the store.  We try to explain why we believe the food we grow and eat is better for us and the land, or that it doesn’t compare with ...

  Throwback at Trapper Creek — Authority: 417
