A PERSONAL NOTE
People can talk about New Year's Eve all they want but to me, there's no time that feels like a fresh start more than the onset of Spring.
My favorite seasons are Spring and Fall because I like the change inherent in them. There's something that just feels so good about everything around me switching modes. Autumn makes me feel introspective and cozy, but the energy surrounding Spring is entirely different.
It feels fresh, clean, and invigorating. The joyous sounds of the birds returning, the buds all over the trees, the
crocuses and daffodils poking up and suddenly appearing, and that fresh rainy smell in the air...it's just delightful.
I love the chance to open up all my windows, scrub every last corner of my home, and kick out the last of winter. I switch over my pillow covers and bedding to fresh, light colors, I get a bouquet of flowers, and I start preparing for farmers markets, vegetable gardens, and spending time outdoors.
You can have the holidays as "the most wonderful time of the year," as the song goes. Just give me Spring.
If you are about to get started on your garden, we're offering a super sale on our Home Agriculture Intensive this weekend. You can get a whopping 75% off through midnight tonight. The course, normally $200, is only $49 - it's not a sale, it's a steal! Please don't miss out, and grab this course that helps you to support The OP!
Also, if you're looking for seeds, check out the Spring Plan Your Garden Seed Sale at Seeds for Generations. It's exactly what you need to start off with a bang, and shipping is super fast with this family business.
I hope Spring is starting off wonderfully for you, too. Enjoy the day!
We're facing threats to our food supply from many different angles: supply chain breakdowns, drought, food facilities being ravaged by fires, skyrocketing inflation, and outright shortages. No longer can we live in the comfort of unthreatened abundance. We're learning exactly how delicate the system really is.
Prepping and putting back supplies is incredibly important but what we're seeing now goes beyond that. You have to be able to produce and acquire more food. You have to be able to put back your harvests to eat during the winter. You have to be able to prepare items that once were as convenient as popping open a can or little plastic container.
You need a paperback copy of How to Feed Your Family No Matter What, our Organic Prepper anthology with ALL of our content about food. You'll get more than 500 pages of content that are all about food when you can't just go to the store and buy whatever you want.
