We are also better about the way we make food purchases. Since we don’t have an extra freezer to store items anymore, we aren’t buying huge amounts of food. This has led to a smaller grocery bill, even though food costs more out here. We’ve been making an effort to ensure that our food doesn’t go bad.

Many of the local farms that provide food also adhere to different practices.
