100 Foot Diet ~ Victory Gardens

Posted in Down The Garden Path

Path to Freedom has kicked off a new challange.  The details as quoted from their site:

The challenge is simple. Beginning as soon as you can, prepare a meal at least once a week with only

homegrown vegetables, fruit, herbs, eggs, dairy products or meat,

 using as few store bought ingredients as possible.

 

The purpose is plain - the waging of an all-out fight against the forces that keep you dependent

 on the system of petroleum fueled food.

 The degree to which you rely on today’s artificial corporate structure determines the extent of your vulnerability.

Resolve to lessen your dependence on outside food sources.

The result is revolutionary. As you take back responsibility for your food supply,

 you’ll experience the empowerment and fulfillment that comes from learning

the basic skills of providing for yourself and your family.

Let’s sow the seeds of victory and get our hands dirty to fill our plates.

Plant a VICTORY GARDEN today!

:: Guidelines ::

A meal must be comprised of food grown on your property

or garden plot (literally or figuratively within - 100 feet - of your front or back door).

If non-homegrown ingredients are needed, then we suggest following these modified locavore guidelines

If not from BACKYARD, then Locally produced (PTF’s addition)


If not LOCALLY PRODUCED, then Organic.If not ORGANIC, then Family farm.If not FAMILY FARM, then

Local business.If not a LOCAL BUSINESS, then Fair Trade.
