Dee gets 4 seasonal crops a year and her quarter acre food forest with 30 fruit trees provides year round fruit. Her chickens provide fresh eggs and manure for the compost. Let her inspire you to develop small-scale intensive vegetable gardens in your own backyard.

Learn how to grow your own raw, organic superfoods. Delicious healthy food will provide your family with all the ingredients for a healthy diet.

Work with your children to create a garden where they can learn about science and biodiversity. Use companion planting and beneficial insect gardens to produce chemical and pesticide free food.

Expand your food choices. No food is more local than home-grown fruit and vegetables.

"It was a great day! Thank you Dee. I am still marveling at how much I learned.
I spent Sunday collecting horse manure at the Meadowbank Pony Club, then down to the beach for seaweed. A local cafe has promised to save me the coffee grinds. Today the lawn mowing was done and now I have the grass clippings. So I am all set to go."
