Spring time and what to plant in the garden

I started this blog 2 years ago - but as you can tell - nothing has been written on it until now. My intent was to provide information on how my family eats a mostly local, organic, natural food diet - all while living in a small Northern Ontario town. Not to mention, I follow a vegan diet but my other family members are "meatatarians". My interest in food peaked when I was pregnant with my second son and I was able to learn more about different diets that would compliment our lifestyle and nourish my family. Also, so many foods were making me ill that avoiding certain foods was easier than sacrificing a moment of food gratification.

So this is where my journey has taken me.

I hope I can provider information about where I buy my food, the kind of food that I cook for my family of four with two growing boys (as best as I can!), how I participate in a Community Shared Agriculture program and how we grow our own small garden...and how to avoid shopping at No Frills in the wintertime.
