Why grow your own food?
Fresh picked food has more flavour and higher nutritional value.
Your own food supply makes you more resilient in the face of fluctuating food prices.
Access to food that can be harvested, prepared and fed to your family daily during the growing season.
Preserve your harvest to feed your family even when the growing season is over.
