| This year's applesauce |
I live near the coast of Maine where the growing season is relatively short. Nonetheless I manage to harvest quite a bit of food from my property. For me, living sustainably entails optimizing use of my land and natural resources. And I like the idea of having my own homegrown and affordable food sources.
It is mid September as I write this and I have recently canned several jars of applesauce. The apples on my tree are small and very sweet and I often pick one just to eat during the day, and I give away or sell my applesauce to friends and neighbors.
