| Introduction | This is my garden journal and is absolutely entwined with mine and my husband's business. If we have to pay a mortgage on our little 1 and a bit acre property than the property ought to pay us. It should be beautiful (because I live here), it should be edible (again, because I live here) and it should make us money. Valuing self-sufficiency, local independence and sustainable food production, Home Grown™ was created as the solution. Our Greenhouse and Barn are home to our sustainably grown produce and soon to be pollution-free Tilapia. Our Poly-Culture System utilizes the nutrient water from our fish to irrigate both our hydroponic and soil production. We add absolutely no anti-biotics or dyes in the grow-out process of the fish nor do we use any synthetic nutrients, herbicides, fungicides or pesticides for our produce. The waste oil from area businesses is collected and converted to bio-diesel. The bio-diesel is then used to heat our Greenhouse during the winter months and provide electricity year round. We have created a more energy efficient model of Sustainable Food Production. |
| Interests | Cynthia: Seeing G-d in the world around me more, gardening, collecting seeds, playing with my children, singing.-An old friend of mine knee jerked at the mention of G-d referred to as "He". For me, G-d is G-d. Read He, She, It, Energy, Spirit, Infinite Light. Read what ever you wish. Linguistics shouldn't interfere with the message. I won't be offended if you refer to G-d as It. I promise. |
