Mr. H - North Idaho, United States
Weary of the world and its illogical ways my wife and I have chosen a path towards self-reliance in all aspects of our lives. Our main focus is on growing and gathering our own food. We hope to use this blog as an avenue to share with and learn from others with similar interests.

It is a joy to see a smiling face and a heart to love what she does.
Great post this morning.
Have a wonderful weekend.
Long time no see Mr. H nice to see you back or me finding you again I am not sure which:)
Joy Moore certainly lives up to her name she is truly a Joy to listen too with her knowledge and her wonderful way the the young people in explaining what is truly important in this world. Great video Mr. H I am glad I have high speed and finally watch them. Worth the wait. B
It is good to see a teacher with such enthusiasm. Teaching nutrition in school is such a good way to get people on a healthy track. Thanks for the link.
I was so happy to see you posted. Hope all is well with you and your family!!
Peace and Raw Health,
Elizabeth
Wouldn't it be something if kids started out in First Grade with a half hour a day in the school garden? And wouldn't it be something grand if Garden Class continued to grow and develop so that the food-nutrition-health relationship would be taught hands-on until they graduated??!
Love Joy's attitude and her perspective. She gets it.
Nice to see you popping out from the woods to share this joy-filled video with us!
What a lovely nature Joy has - thanks for sharing her important work with us.
I've missed you...
If more and more young people make the connection between the land, food, and health in their formative years .. just think how school lunches would have to change :)
Mr. H - a most happy, healthy and peaceful new year to you and your family. I certainly miss your ever so informative posts. I can only hope that you aren't posting because there are too many things to do!
All the best
