Guest Post: Ready Nutrition

I've been following Ready Nutrition for a couple of weeks now after seeing an interesting post on how to become prepared over 52 weeks. Then they had a contest. Write a blog post, they said, and if we feature it you'll be entered to win! So I wrote. And mine happens to be one of the first ones to be posted! So I'm very excited. I wrote about preparing for storms and about the Rule of Threes. Have a peek over at the article and see what you think.

Check out my latest guest blog at Everythingfarm.com! I talk about canning and preserving the harvest, and some basic safety rules. A teeny preview:

"It’s always great to see those lovely, full jars with their gleaming lids and multi-colored contents neatly stacked on their shelf in the pantry. From jams and jellies to stewed meats and broth, canning is a noble pursuit. With the summer’s vegetables arriving fast and furious, it’s time to haul out the canning jars and start preserving your harvest for use throughout the winter. The poor, the frugal, and those who like to live simply will find much pleasure in the process of putting up food for the winter."

We live in a world where food prices are rising and natural disasters are happening more and more often. Our farming infrastructure is starting to crumble because of the Big Ag practices of mono-cropping and chemical usage. Our cities have become food deserts and even our rural areas are overly dependent upon trucking in food from far away.

Guest post on Everythingfarm.com - Food deserts and changing weather patterns are making farming difficult

I'm writing quite a lot over at Everythingfarm, and I'm hoping you'll take a peek at what I have to share there. :) If you'd like to read today's post, you can find it here!

Sneak peek:

It’s no surprise to most farmers in New England that big cities have become large food deserts, with only a day or two worth of food storage on hand at the best of times. When disasters strike, such as Superstorm Sandy in New Jersey and New York, places like Hoboken and New York City were in dire straits. Food stores ran out long before emergency rations could be brought in, and looting was endemic.

I am hoping to be guest blogging for them quite frequently, so do keep an eye out here, FaceBook, G+, and StumbleUpon for my posts. If there's anything you'd like to see, drop me a line!

Guest post on EverythingFarm.com - Dollars or sense?

Please go have a peek at the guest blog I've written over on EverythingFarm.com's blog! Here's a quick teaser:

GMOs are getting a bad rap, and there’s good reason for it. Big Ag’s policies about distribution, seed saving, and health studies have been more about dollars than sense, leaving farmers and consumers alike in the dust. The question is, what do farmers do if they can’t plant GMO seeds, and how do they address the depleted soil left in the wake of chemical toxins?
