The Homemade Revolution
Posted by Melanie on Saturday Sep 6, 2008 Under homemade revolution, mel's kitchen, the farmstead, urban farmwomanI am working to apply the values that my mother and grandmothers (and their mothers and their mothers after that) taught me. Here are a few of the things on that list, though I know this is just a start.
- Making food from scratch that is healthy, simple, and not too expensive
- Growing as much produce as I can with the space that I have
- Buying local produce, meat, and dairy whenever possible
- Sewing my own clothing whenever possible
- Air drying my clothes as often as I can
- Giving gifts that are handmade (either by me or someone else)
- Encouraging others to start their own homemade revolutions
Posts flagged “Urban Farmworman” are a statement of my identity as a woman who grew up on a farm, but is living in the city. They will be further broken down into “Mel’s Kitchen” where I will focus on food, “The Famstead” where I will focus on home and garden, and “Homemade Revolution” for things I just generally make. And of course, there will be some cross categorizing, but I’m sure you’ll be alright with that.
