The Bear Necessities

This is a picture of the family gaden in the back yard, right along the St John river. We have 3 garden plots altogether but this is the most picturesque. I first started gardening over 6 years ago because I was worried about GMOs and the amout of chemicals used in and on commerical vegetables. It became important for me to grow organic for my family, to know how and where our food was grown and taken care of. I also learned how to preserve our harvest through canning, freezing and dehydrating.
