We totally agree with this. Real food needs love and care and we believe has to be farmed in Harmony with nature.

Thats what we are trying to do at our permaculture farm in Tanzania. Produce totally pure, healthy, sustainable foods that make a positive impact on our consumers and society.

You can learn more at http://www.dhownaturefoods.com

We also focus on going direct to consumers so we don’t go through the traditional retail channels.

Its refreshing to read about this 🙂

Thanks for commenting, Claire. You are right, a lot of knowledge has been lost for most of us, but there are still people like your farmer friend who are able to help and teach. And you are so right that there is happiness and satisfaction in growing your own, even if you live in a rental, that the supermarket fruit and veg section will never provide.

We have a farmer who has a small, productive farm who has taken us under his wing and has helped us immensely.
But, we still have made lots of mistakes because of ignorance.
I remember walking into woolies fruit and veg section one morning looking around at everything and it struck me how generic it all looked. I felt bored.
That was 16 years ago. I went home and started a vegetable garden at the back of our rental and before too long was growing enough food that I was giving two boxes of veg away a week. I felt the happiest I had in years.
