Hey guys, we’ve had a few questions come up about dehydrating vs. freeze drying, so we’re breaking down the two.
🍏Dehydrating🍏
🧭Process: Uses warm air and blowing air to remove 70-90% of the moisture out of the food.
📦Food storage: Food can store up to a year, depending how much moisture you’ve removed from the food.
💸Cost/ease: dehydrators cost less, are smaller, and you can easily build your own solar one (video example below, these can be made in any shape/size)

🥦Freeze drying🥦
🧭Process: Instead of using heat, it uses really cold temps, and after dropping the temps, it creates a vacuum around the food and alternately heats and cools the food to remove the moisture, removing close to 90% of the moisture
📦Food can store 20-25 years.
💸Cost/ease: these tend to cost more (anywhere from $2500-5000 as this is a new technology for homes). It’s the size of a mini fridge and slightly bigger depending on the kind you get. Benefit is the super long term shelf life.
Video below explains the difference between the two processes and the woman actually shows examples of the difference between dehydrating and freeze drying 5 different kinds of food.

If you’re wanting to grow your own food but don’t know what to grow, then listen up!
We know that many people are making the choice to start growing their own food; whether it’s for health reasons, to save money, or to become more self-sufficient, we know that many of you are doing this for the first time. If you find yourself unsure of what you should be growing, then start by considering these 3 things:
Determine your climate zone
Before you start dreaming up all the things you want to plant, first be realistic with your climate zone and knowing what you can and can’t be planting. Websites like www.almanac.com are useful resources in finding your climate zone, simply by searching with your zip code.
Decide what to grow
Once you have determined your climate zone, make a list of all of the plants you can realistically grow. Do you want to grow flowers, vegetables, herbs, fruits, or a combo of all of the above? Select the foods that you would most like to consume. If you are limited on space, consider growing smaller plants or growing less of one thing. Another great option for tight growing spaces is growing vertically with vine vegetables.
Choose your ideal location
Depending on where you live and the amount of space you have will also factor into what kinds of plants you can be growing. If you have the freedom of choosing between several different spaces in your yard, then you’ll be able to grow a larger variety of plants. Keep in mind that certain plants need a certain amount of sunlight per day.

Offgrid Demonstration And Education
Take a look at our completely off-grid, self-sufficient community, complete with its own food, water, and energy production. If you want to open your own that would be a demonstration center and business opportunity. Your living cost would be reduced by as much as 100%. The ability to show others is what this is all about, to show them how to grow foods instead of lawns.

Be Aware Of The Problem, But Focus On The Solution. It is really important innerstand the problem, being aware of it is key. Once you are aware of the problems, then it's time to focus on the solution. You can manifest anything, the key is conceiving it and believing it.

✨ Check out these vegetable plants you can plant in small spaces ✨
Everyone loves fresh veggies, but if you’re a city dweller with a small space to garden, or even an apartment dweller with limited balcony space, how can you grow your own?
No matter how much space you think you have to work with, there are plenty of vegetables that will flourish in your small garden. Here are our top plants you can grow in small spaces.
💛 Some helpful tips 💛
🪴 If space is limited, only grow what you love to eat, or things that are difficult/expensive to purchase
🪴 Think vertically; grow climbing crops over arches, trellis or fences. Grow things like herbs or tomatoes in hanging baskets and herbs in window boxes
🪴 Have seedlings ready. As you pick one crop you could be platning the next batch immediately

In this episode, guest Adam Walton, a mindset coach, public speaker and spiritual entertainer from The Mental Mastery Alliance, shares his insights on the ways our world is shifting from total chaos to becoming completely organized.
Adam describes this transformation as ascending from 3D to 5D dimensions. He elaborates on quantum physics, the ability to manifest what you want based on what you believe you deserve, and creating based on the vibrational frequency in which one lives.

Tip from Kevin! Seed Saving - Broccoli - Did you know that we eat the unopened flower of the plant? We don't actually eat the broccoli, and then it turns into flowers (which are also edible), which then get pollinated. Then their seeds get ripe, form pods and then you plant the seeds that you find in the pods.
