I have a specific list of materials food service items can be made of. And if it is altered with carbon or a non-stick surface, skip it. Currently in search of a cylindrical glass tea pitcher with a lid. It ain't easy.

I recently discovered that the plastic storage containers we use daily are leeching minute levels of various chemicals (some toxic) into our food. Especially if it's stored long term. I hit the resale shops and estate sales looking for glass, ceramic, clay, stoneware and steel. (Turns out...

I go to resale shops for the exact the same reason. I also like the kitchen appliances from pre-80's. They were made to last and usually I buy an old hand mixer or something, check the wiring and they never die.

Where do you get free pallets? I can buy used ones for $4-5 (still cheap), but free would be better.

I use my pressure pot I bought/use for canning. I have quart sized plastic jars I pack it into. 1 jar lasts about a week. I freeze them. I strain off the broth and use it to cook grains. Brown rice, wheat, barley ....scratch. I blend up shredded veggies I grow in the garden, grains I cook for...

I plant gardens with healthy foraging in mind. I .are the gardens to grow food, but protect them so the hens can peck at the plants but not destroy them. I feed organic and soy free, so the feed is pricey, but they don't eat a lot of feed because they have tons of variety in the yard...
