My green,simple and ethical life

My yearly supply of organic, cold-pressed and local (from a small farm; he is a friend of mine) olive oil has arrived. Each year I get between 8 and 10 liters of it :) 

I live a very green, simple and ethical life. How I do it? Well, I grow most of my veggies; I only eat local and seasonal and organic produce (the stuff I do not grow or have, like the olive oil above); I never shop at supermarket and shop from local small farms; I make lots of stuff at home like butter, buttermilk; I preserve my food (wait for the photos of the stuff I made, you would faint, hehe); I haven't bought any clothes in years and get my clothes secondhand from my friends, etc. Here are some photos of the stuff I do to live a green life.

 I get my yogurt and raw organic milk from another small organic farm. One week I get 1 liter and the next one I get 2 liters. I make buttermilk and butter. And I return the empty bottles to the farmer and he gives me back 30 cents! Amazing; the organic raw milk is cheaper than the supermarket and I generate no waste. I love it.

 Last year I built a tiny greenhouse to start my seedlings but this year my friend's husband has built me a big one, yay. To save money and cut on waste I collect my own seeds as well, like tomatoes, pumpkin, basil, zucchinis, aubergines, etc. It is very easy to do so, I highly recommend it if you are living off the grid or just want to live a green life.

 Ok, this is just food. I love cooking but I do not use any fancy recipes, just what I have and in season. I do not like too sweet stuff, so I tend to make my own version of stuff. This is an apple galette/strudel

 Ok, roll the drums please. Here is Ms Fustoq, my typewriter. I got it this summer in a secondhand market. It is a secondhand but still new! I need to learn how to use it though :)

 Another pear and fig galette I made this autumn. I used buckwheat and it was delicious

And I rescue and feed lots and lots of stray cats. This beauty came to the farm last december. she was sick, scared and starving. I took her to the vet and she came back healthy. I named her Isabella and she answers to bella and Izzy :) she is so so cute but a bit grumpy. Now, I have a new kitten I rescued 3 weeks ago; he is so so beautiful, dark grey with blue eyes. I named him Signore Dandy Notte. Someone might be interested in adopting him. She spoke with me on the phone today and Im pleased. She seemed very nice and she loves animals.
