Hi Carolyn: I agree completely. When we go back to eating fresh and local foods, we can’t help but feel more connected to our meals and the world around us. Plus, we feel a lot healthier too. Thanks for stopping by! Teresa

Michael – Point well taken. Over the last few years, we have moved from the grocery-store mentality to eating fresh and local from our backyard garden and local farmers. I can honestly say that I feel much better, and in addition enjoy a more spiritual connection to nature and to preparing our food. What we eat varies as the seasons do, and we also enjoy canning and preserving the best of our garden.

Thanks for reminding us how important and healthy it is!

Hi ladies: There’s definitely something to be said for eating local food as nature intended. So delighted that Michael could share his views. Thanks for dropping by, Cherie and Kathy. All best, Teresa

“You are entitled to eat whatever you want, whenever you want.” That way of thinking has led to so many health problems in this country. It certainly is more natural to eat what the Seasons provide for us locally. Also, so interesting to hear about Honey benefiting allergy sufferers!
