A New Focus

It's been about two years since I've posted on this blog and it's time to get back to it. I have been somewhat busy with my other blog, but my other passion is canning and growing my own food. At first my wife and I wanted to present a free market/libertarian approach to solving environmental problems. That still is important because you can't legislate people's attitudes, you can change them through education and social change. And since I was involved with Washington County Peak Oil at the time, I felt it was important to get people to start growing their own food and eating as local as possible. This is now much more common and accepted than it was five years ago, so it is time for a change.

The name has been changed, and could change again, but the new focus will be on growing your own food, how to cook it and how to can it. I will be including recipes and talk about what has worked and where I have failed. Hopefully those of you who read this will find good information that you can use. And I am always looking to learn more myself so please share anything that will help.
