With the warming spring and mother nature doing her best to provide us with good growing conditions, is it time to look at what we can produce ourselves to trade or give to others? Not only does growing produce and cooking provide us a good dose of endorphins it grounds us, feeds the soul and feeds others.

When you look through an old family recipe book and find Grannies scone recipe with homemade raspberry jam, you can taste the beautiful memories of conversation and stories that help nurture us today. It can take us back to a time when the simple things in life; growing, cooking, connection was all we needed in our medicine cabinets. This was and still can be our own source of nutrition and wellness boosters..... lettuce (pun intended) create this today by finding our own pick me ups.

Do you have a favourite old recipe that feeds your soul?
