Get started growing your own natural, organic food, right in your own back yard Even if you don't have much space, you can grow your own vegetables and enjoy the natural goodness that taste better than anything you can buy at the store. You will reduce your dependence on the just-in-time inventory system that allows grocery stores to run out of food, just when you need it most. Consider raising chickens, too, and you will have a supply of eggs and meat right in your own back yard.
