Growing and Foraging 100% of My Food - Day 333 Update

  • Опубликовано: 14 авг 2024
  • For one year I am growing and foraging 100% of my food. That means no grocery stores, no restaurants and not even taking a nibble from a friends garden or pantry!
    You might imagine me in the countryside living off the land or on a farm. I live in the urban environment of Orlando, Florida, in a 100 square foot tiny house that I built with repurposed materials. With no land of my own, I garden the front yards of people in my neighborhood and share the bounty with them. I take trips to nature to harvest the bounty and I also forage for food all over the city, where people walk by every single day, without ever noticing the abundance around them.
    Food Freedom began November 11th 2018 and will go until November 11th 2019. This video was filmed on day 333 and released on day 339 of the project.

    UPDATE: For an entire year I grew and foraged 100% of my food. No grocery stores, no restaurants, not even a drink at a bar.

    Papaya is one of my favorite fruit. For the green one, we usually stir-fry it with garlic, onion, hot chili, little bit salt, pepper, bay leaf, and galangal or cook it with tofu, coconut milk, garlic, onion, hot chili, candlenut, and bay leaf. Then papaya that almost ripe, with yellowish color we like to eat it raw with a sauce (brownsugar, bit of tamarind, chili, salt, bit of water just to make it thick). I recommend all of you to try one of these recipe if you haven't try it before. :)

You can saturate some onions, green pepper in oil along with little bit of turmeric powder and salt to taste mix with the tapioca and eat with protein which will avoid effect of the toxicity of tapioca. Another hind you slice the tapioca thin boil them and dry well in sun and keep it for the rest of the year.

    Such an inspiration! Your joy at the world gives me so much life and also your tendency towards compromise (using plastic bags when needed, use of solar panels, laptop computer, propane, instapot) is very much what I also strive for. Although being fully self sufficient, off grid, human powered, zero waste is the goal, sometimes, one has to compromise in order to fulfill something more completely. It's impossible to do all of those things 100%, and that's just life. You talk about how people perceive you as being extreme, but to me you're actually finding a balance between two extremes. I can see lots of places where you could make your life a lot harder and more extreme towards environmental sustainability, but then you're sacrificing mental and physical health sustainability so it's always a balancing act.

    Just a tip Mr. Greenthumb. You can grow your banana fruits bigger by cutting off the flower after it has produced the prime banana hands (bunch) so that the nutrients are focused on to the fruits. Otherwise, it will just continue to produce small ones that will compete with nutrients including the flower that, at this point, has become parasitic to the plant.

    Rob, should make use of those acorns - coffee is pretty good! Make sure to get rid of the bitter tannins first . Peel, Boil for 10 minutes, dispose the water, soak for 1-2 days and change water 2-3 more times times. Roast. Grind. Voilla. You got yourself nice coffee. For flower - you can also use them to make some flour too, same process like for cofee but no roasting needed. Old Polish acorn coffee recipes are dated back in XVII century ;)

    'Technically' - for want of a better word - this is very impressive.
    Personally, this is very inspirational. Not that I feel I could do this here in a city in Japan, or even that I could do anything remotely like it, but in general terms I think people like this remind the majority of us who live the modern/inductrialized lifestyle that there is still a 'real' worl in which to live. For people like me the 'real' world extends only as far as things like weekends walking in the mountains.
    Thanks for this and the first episode, too.

I was born, raised and lived there for 34 years of my life and don't miss it. You really do look so much better. I had to add small amounts of meat back to my diet for the same reason. Take care and I hope we continue to see your journey after Orlando.

    This is the first video of yours I have ever seen, and I’m completely hooked. I too am from Wisconsin (Menasha, Wi.) and I know how short the growing season can be. I preserve and dry a lot of what I grow. I have two kids, Olivia is 17 and Ethan is 11. I have passed on my passion for gardening to them. There’s nothing like the feeling of harvesting your own food and knowing your feeding your family healthy food that you grew yourself without any pesticides or other poisons. I grew up in Texas and my family moved to Wisconsin when I was 17 yrs old. I am now 45 yrs old and I still miss the LONG growing season of that climate. Thank you for making such inspirational videos. I am planning on taking a weekend to marathon all of your videos. Sending much love to to you from a fellow Wisconsinite. ❤️🙏🏻🥥🥭🍌🥑🥒

    Thank you for taking on the challenge. I live on a dryland farm and can appreciate the work it involves. You have proven that it can be done, and it has been interesting to accompany your trip. In real life, if not working under the self-imposed challenge, you could trade some of the foodstuffs (for eggs, milk etc.) to complement the protein and fat without so much work. That´s how the traditional communities have always functioned ( including ours, which is in Brazil..)
