Feeding your family

Feeding a family 

Not easy these days

What led me to start a FB group and write this blog the ever spiralling food prices. Seriously I feel we are being rorted by the food chains however there is little we can do about that as we all need to eat and to feed our children.
We can however learn to be thrifty, try to become self sufficient after all our ancestors before us were, they survived the Depression and Wars, under far more difficult circumstances than we have now, but back in those good old days they grew their own produce, vegetables and fruit trees and of course then they would have a cow for milk, make butter and cheese, chooks my daughter would love to add chooks to her agenda of Veg growing but my garden is really too small but for any who have the space I would encourage it.
Wisely many used a barter system swapping something you have with a friend or relative with something they have so you may swap some peaches for some tomatoes good way to go.
