My Favorite Wash/Dish Cloth

This is my favorite cloth for Dishes.  It will not only scrub but it dries quicker and doesn't get mildewy as fast during hot summer days.

We have several colors of this cloth available but this one is really special!  The reason it is special is because we are doing a fundraiser with this cloth.

Some of you know that we have recently been given custody of our 7 month old granddaughter. This sweet baby has had damage to her lungs due to second hand smoke. Grandma Farmer (Jean) is making some special dish/wash cloths in the FIESTA color to make extra money to buy a Essential oil Nebulizer so that Gabby can sleep all night and receive healing essential oils.

Our 'farm' sales go to help us care for Gabby and stay on the farm, but sales of these special cloths will go directly to purchasing the Nebulizer. We will need to sell 20 of these packages to get the set-up and Essential oils Gabby needs.

You can send a $10 payment plus $1.95 for shipping and handling to us via our Paypal account at gramafarmer@gmail.com along with your name and address (contential US only please).  Skip shipping and handling and let us know you are picking up the cloths and you can pay us then.

Food As Lawns

Food as lawns. As consumers become more aware of the “Big” Agricultural system that dominates the food supply in the US, the more they’re getting back to basics and growing their own food. To capitalize on space in small yards, some homeowners turned to growing front lawn food gardens in 2012. The only problem: their respective homeowners associations or city’s codes did not allow such displays. Citizens are defending their right to grow their own food and challenging such restrictive guidelines and laws. After all, while gardening can require skill, determination, time, and an initial financial investment, the benefits of homegrown food (satisfaction, quality, inexpensive produce) far outweigh the cost of grocery store food — whether conventional or organic.

It’s circumstances like these that led to the creation of Food Not Lawns, an organization dedicated to eliminating unnecessary ornamental lawns and replacing them with utilitarian food lawns. 2013 is sure to see more of these gardens.
