Great article. Growing your own food is great, it’s sustainable (though I think people throw this word around too much), and it’s a fun hobby. But from a purely financial viewpoint, it often costs more to grow things yourself than it does to just buy them at the store. Other reasons aside, people don’t always [...]

Home Cooking for Sale – NYTimes.com
June 2nd, 2010 · No Comments · Food
