I grew up in the midwest and as a young adult had little patience for the “granola” crowd. But the past few years I find myself buying more and more organic, and less & less processed food. Trying to raise kids without HFCS and corn-based products has sometimes been a challenge. But since my daughter was diagnosed with Celiac disease, my grocery shopping has changed even more. I love the local butcher shops and produce dealers we have in our area!

I shared this video with my husband–I’m hoping to wean him from PopTarts and the non-organic foods he loves. My family is too important to feed them unsafe foods!! And comparing the grocery bill to medical bills makes it an easy choice to spend more for safer food.
