Sustainable Living Tips: Canning

Organic Jarred Tomato Sauce 

   My Fiancee and I have been canning for about 2 years now. We use this process for a majority of crop I grow throughout the spring and summer, to be available to eat during fall and winter. Doing this process usually takes us about a full day or two, just because of all the different food we make to can. In these pictures, we made a batch of tomato sauce and are canning it without any preservatives which will give the sauce approximately a 6 month refrigerated shelf life.

    I love the fact that you can grow food throughout the spring and summer months, and have a safe and healthy way to store this food for later consumption. If you really are looking into trying to be sustainable and live a healthier life. Learn how to jar and preserve your well looked after crop. It will be a huge expense reliever and also will teach your children the importance of food and the value of money.

   I will be posting an in detail step-by-step process of canning in the future. So be on the look out for that! Check me out on the following Social Media Outlets!! I ALWAYS FOLLOW BACK <3

Growing Healthy Food, Help Make This a Trend!

      Anyone can tell you that fresh fruits and vegetables taste so much better right from the source. It is only until you eat right from the source that you will realize the hype about it. For me, this is completely true. Once I started my gardens I haven't really shopped at the Market much other than for meats. Before I used to run a huge bill every time I went to get some groceries, as I imagine the majority of people who juice do.

       So why not take some space aside on your property for either a bed or potted garden and grow some of your favourite daily vegetables and fruits? It's cheaper in the long run, you get more crop for your money and it's a pretty addition for your landscape.

      You'll get more nutrition in your food than normal because you grew it and took the time and effort to research methods of doing so. If each and every family had their own produce garden, that would cut the cost of food around the world. It could possibly help towards fighting world hunger as well! As well as help giving the bees food throughout the year and promote their well being. If we lose our bees we as humans will be extinct in five years. Lets try to teach this way of living to younger generations and instill it in ourselves as well. Spread this cause!

Until next time, Keep it Green and Keep it Growing!
