Home grown, home made, hand made, allotmenting, natural resources, foraging, produce and preserving - to name just a few.
We try (all that we can) to live in a self sufficient way to the best of our means.
Which doesn't mean we never set foot in a Supermarket - one being the exception - but if we need to store shop we either buy locally or specialised where things have been produced or made using the best possible ingredients in the best possible/traditional/local way.
But if we can grow our own, make our own, mend our own - then we do.
Not a lot of people understand or even 'get it' but it's who we are and as a family we wouldn't have it any other way.
