San
Francisco Food Sources
In
recent years, I have put significantly more thought, time, and energy
into food and nutrition. Not only am I concerned about our family's
health and well-being, but I am also concerned about how our
food choices affect the greater community.
When
buying produce, meat, and dairy products, I support local farmers
who employ sustainable growing methods. When buying meat and dairy
products, I put forth extra effort into purchasing pasture-raised
animals. And instead of organic, pasteurized milk, I purchase raw
milk from cows raised on pasture.

Animal, Vegetable, Miracle:A Year in Food Life by Barbara Kingsolver
This well know author describes her family's journey as they decide
to sustain themselves solely on the products of their own farm and
their immediate community. She shares this year-long experience,
and her husband and elder daughter also contribute their thoughts
on current farming standards and nutritious recipes, respectively.
After
reading this book, you'll want to grow your own vegetable garden
and can the bounty for the long, winter ahead (wherever you may
live).

Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon
N.T. contains much of the scientific explanation behind the Weston
A. Price lifestyle and also includes recipes. I use this book more
as a reference, when I need to remind myself of the specific reason
I chose a certain food or when I need to prepare a basic food the
W.A.P. way (like porridge or kefir).
