Thank you for your replies. I am wondering if I can make this happen for me. What kind of income level would one have to be at to be able to start. I am hoping to buy land by next year and would love to build a sustainable home. What are the typical costs of building and starting a garden to grow enough food to provide say 3-4 people with what they need. I know it will take some trial and error and time to get there but what are the realities of what it takes to begin this lifestyle. What can I start growing in my apartment now? I have a south window which gets alot of sun. And where can I get non GMO seeds. Are there any books I could be reading that will provide the info I am looking for ? Thank you..

Hello, I have recently become very aware of my desire to make more natural choices for my housing and in the food and water I consume. I want to begin growing my own food but don't know how to get started. My boyfriends family has a garden plot we can use, I live in and apartment right now...hoping to make a decision about my future home plans. I am a single mom with 2, 20 somthing boys and I want to have us come together for the same goal...caring for eachother and the earth and getting as far out of the system as possible for us. We currently reside in eastern MI. I am seeking people who can share thier knowledge with me but I don't know where to turn. I do not have people around me who think like I do. Any advice on what typs of vegies I can easily grow in MI which will provide me with my biggest bang for the buck , and where I can go to meet up with thoes who would share thier wisdome with me?


Thank you For your time..I welcome your kind reply.
