Alternative "Grocery" Shopping | Many of us love the idea of homesteading... but are unable to do it yet. I'm here to tell you, just because you do not grow and raise most of your own food right now does not limit you to the grocery store as your only source of food. Ironically, although there are grocery stores galore, the conventional grocery store is often the hardest (and most expensive) place to find well-raised or well-grown, quality natural foods. Fortunately, there are numerous alternatives! | GNOWFGLINS.com
