Got Organic?

My wife, Kari, and I recently made the commitment to make big changes to the way we live.  The most exciting change for me is the decision to reduce our dependency on the Corporate World by starting our personal “organic garden”.  

We have spent the past 2-3 weeks researching what it truly means to grow organic foods and the best methods of gardening in San Diego.  One of the best resources we’ve found is www.cityfarmersnursery.com where the owner, Bill, teaches a gardening class on Saturday morning.  When you consider the wealth of information Bill has, it is his genuine desire to share his knowledge and willingness to help others achieve their gardening goals.  The added value is the wonderful people who attend the class; most are like-minded and more than willing to help others.

Kari and I have created a blog to journal the details of our journey and to share our mission: ”to reduce our grocery consumption by 50% or more in 2009″.  Check it out at www.groworganicmeals.com

Another way we are making big changes is to decrease our carbon footprint.  To be honest, until we committed to make these changes I had no idea of what a carbon footprint was or meant.  A great site to learn more about your footprint and tips on how to reduce yours can be found at http://www.edenbee.com.
