About 80% of the vegetables and 100% of the meat/fish we consume comes directly from our farmers. We also work for them to get things cheaper, sometimes even free, especially herbs, salats... We ourselves stopped making a garden, we have just flowers for the eyes and bees, because it wasn't worth it. Its always better to share work with others... In the spring, we collect a lot of things from nature and dry them for consumption throu the whole year... Greetings from Switzerland - the reason why we dont own anything. Too expensive and its not really yours...
