Start Somewhere, Save Something

Everyone has to start somewhere, right?
You don't need to start saving for the Second Coming, Global Food Crisis, or Locust Infestation now.  Just save something.
Go to the farmer's market and buy something that looks and tastes good.  Give your money to someone who grew it nearby and grew it consistent with your own food values.
Take it home, clean it, cut it, blanch it, flash freeze it (spread it out on a cookie sheet in the freezer), and vacuum seal it.  Label it.  Put it in the deep freeze.
This winter, take it out and eat it.  It will still be local food, grown well, and picked at its peak of freshness.  It will be cheaper than the food in the grocery store and better for you too.

It doesn't take much work or fancy equipment.  I REALLY recommend the vacuum sealer and it doesn't have to be expensive or fancy, see FoodSaver V2244 Advanced Design Vacuum Sealer.

Today, I bought carrots.  I can't grow enough of them.  I got two trays for $3.  They are gorgeous.  Now go get some for yourself!
