I actually have no memory of eating store bought meat until I was 18 years old. This is because there were two working farms in my family. We had a large garden and raised a lot of animals. There were numerous fruit and nut trees on the farm. We foraged for berries and went on frequent fishing trips. If that still did not provide enough, we would go to the local farmers market because the things we did buy simply came from local farms.
Then I moved to Colorado when I was 18 and started working a construction job. And to say I was very poor for many months is an under statement. I was so proud of myself when I finally could spare enough money to actually buy a steak.

Always remember to live sustainably because this is how we build a better future.
