By Michael, on March 15th, 2011 The organic market expands up to 20% per year, as more people educate themselves of the health dangers of genetically engineered food. A family in Pasadena, California is making a living from selling produce grown in their yard to neighbors and restaurants. They grow 6,000 pounds of produce on 1/10th of an acre of cultivated land per year. As the economy collapses, many Americans are seeing that FOOD can be just as good as GOLD, if not better. Many Americans are starting to barter or sell produce grown in their yards to their local neighbors and farmer’s markets. Some Americans are even bartering their produce for additional services they are needing monthly.
One man leaves a comment……
“Make sure that when you plant a garden you don’t use and GM or GE seeds. If it says Hybrid… run. 2 years ago our corn was planted beside a neighbors. We used Open Pollinated corn (Heirloom), he used Hybrid corn. The deer and other animals went at ours like crazy and never touched his. That says something right off bat. He had to use pesticides because the ears were more loosely wrapped and being eaten by bugs. Ours were more tightly wrapped with fewer bugs, actually pretty much untouched. He spayed. We didn’t have to spray. His couldn’t save seeds. We could.”
