Hi Laura, I just discovered your website. I’m kindly asking you to guide me in terms of where to move in the countryside.

Hi Laura,
Thank you for your comment! I would prefer to go completely organic, but we are on a super tight budget right now. So the short answer is... no. Buying all organic is just a little too costly for us right now, although it is a preference of ours. Our first choice, however, is to get our own orchard in, where we can have loads of apples from our own trees. But in the meantime, this will have to do. 🙂

I used to follow the EWG’s lists, staying away from conventionally grown produce on their Dirty Dozen list, but now nearly everything we buy is organic. The more I have learned about GMOs, pesticides and herbicides, the more I understand how even tiny quantities of chemicals can do terrible things to our bodies and all other living things. These toxins have no business being in our food supply. All the more reason for my family and me to keep moving toward our homestead dream, sooner than later! Thank you for sharing, especially because we love applesauce, too!
