Hey, everyone, and welcome to Know Your Food with Wardee. I’m Wardee in Southwest Oregon, a traditional food blogger at GNOWFGLINS.com and KnowYourFoodPodcast.com. I’m glad you’re here!

This is the podcast where we’re all about ditching those poisonous processed foods, breaking free from the conventional food paradigm, and instead embracing whole foods raised, saved, and prepared with traditional methods. It’s fun, it’s delicious, and it’s healthy. You’re on your way… to looking good, feeling good, and most importantly, doing good!

You can find more about traditional cooking at my site GNOWFGLINS — it’s an acronym that stands for “God’s natural, organic, whole foods, grown locally, in season.” (My husband made it up and it stuck!)

You can find show notes for all the episodes here: KnowYourFoodPodcast.com

Know Your Food: Greg PetersonJuly 30, 2014: For the last 25 years, Greg Peterson has been urban farming on 1/3 acre city lot in Phoenix, Arizona. His home, The Urban Farm, is a showcase of beautiful and productive permaculture — a chicken run, gardens, 85 fruit trees including apple and citrus hedges, and much more! Greg is an active educator, hosting urban farming, permaculture, and urban chicken keeping workshops. The Urban Farm has helped to plant 10,000 fruit trees throughout Phoenix.  Greg has been my guest before, and we talked about his urban farm and his educational work in Phoenix. So be sure you go back and listen to that one, if you haven’t already!  He’s got such a wealth of information and experience that I asked him back. And so today we’re talking about rainwater and greywater harvesting, including strategies for implementing your own systems and return-on-investment analysis. He’ll help you understand the basics so you can weigh your options and come up with a system that works for you.
