Earth-Friendly Family Budget

At a time when people are pinching pennies, I will share some ways in which my family is stretching our dollars by growing our own food, buying local foods and saving on organic and natural foods by using coupons.

Buying local is not just about supporting local farmers and supporting the local economy, but about knowing where your food comes from. To find local CSA's, farmers markets, restaurants among other information on purchasing locally produced food:

Ohio Ecological Food and Farm Association also has info on locally produced food:
