Seed Banks – This Spring Buy Heirloom and Heritage Varieties

Thursday, April 8th, 2010

It is that time of year when you are beginning to feel Spring in the air (except in Colorado where it was snowing today), and that means time for planting.  As I watch the baby calves, chicks, ducklings, and kids (goat-youth, that is) frolic around in the warm air, I am inspired to again try to grow something.

Hopefully you are too, and you are most likely better at it than I am.  So please send us your stories, as we would like to incorporate them here, and in our publication.

I had found a couple of websites dedicated to saving seeds, specifically heirloom varieties, you can read that post here: Seed Banks – Saving History & Agriculture.

It’s important to support local, and it is also important to support companies and businesses that garner sustainability.  Support companies and organizations that protect agriculture and embrace sustainability by avoiding practices that have to do with the genetic modification of our food.

National Animal Identification System

Monday, March 16th, 2009

It may be a wise idea to start looking at some of the legislation that is coming up (coming down?) concerning the food supply of the country. Several good friends and advertisers of That’s Natural! have brought this particular example to our attention.

An opinion from a trusted resource (which has many links to other opinions as well), will help offer some insight into this phenomenon, and we encourage you to explore further.

Make sure that our food supply continues to be the product of the CONSUMER, of YOU, of the CUSTOMER, and make sure that you support LOCAL FOOD SYSTEMS that can take care of us in a SUSTAINABLE fashion.
