Baby Tomatoes

This picture is so pretty. Not just because of the colors, but because homegrown food is such a wonderful thing! Obviously operating a farm is no small feat, but homegrown food is probably easier than many think. Things like herbs and tomatoes are good examples. These plants might not be perfect, but they are awesome. Homegrown food eliminates transportation - no driving is necessary to get the food from a farm to your house. No transportation means no CO2 put into the atmosphere. Also, small scale gardens are typically not treated with any harsh chemicals etc. So try it out! Start with something simple, like basil, which you can even grow inside. Maybe one day you'll make homegrown, no carbon footprint spaghetti sauce...
