It could be expensive having a new food habit eating raw foods. The ultimate solution is growing your own garden. If you have a back yard you can grow a pretty decent sized one. Otherwise, get a few planters and grow a couple of tomato plants along the patio wall, and put a couple of eggplants inside the porch door with one large circular planter. Have each vegetable plant its own design with surrounding works of art. I put a little garden here of one type of vegetables and then another one on the south side of the yard. The sky is the limit what you can do.
When you know someone who owns an organic garden, volunteer to assist them in exchange for food items. Most people need help, and they need more help if they have a larger garden. You could weed, take care of the greenhouse, monitor customers who need assistance, and prepare plants for reselling. Very few people refuse good honest labor; I know I wouldn’t! Working in a garden all in all seasons except winter is exhausting work; it is a blessing if someone offers to help.
If you stumble sales on organic or fresh vegetables at the end of summer, get them at wholesale price and either have them canned or frozen. If you have a huge deep freeze you can freeze bulk of them. Or else, get a dehydrator and dry them. A special storage is not needed and can be added to soups and stews, casseroles, or just eat by the hands full in the middle of winter as it is snowing outside.
Look around and see what you have in your neighborhood or local city area. There are much opportunities awaiting for your abilities and skills, but you must seek for them!
Good luck with your new food habit!
