Haiti Earthquake

With the devastating earthquake in Haiti this past week, all Sustainable Food Productions have been put on temporary hold. Having said that, it is obvious that we must work even harder to help people in Haiti and other depressed nations to become food independent. Disasters will always occur and if people are capable of providing at least part of their own food their chances for survival are greatly increased.

Continue to pray for Haiti, this disaster is going to last for months if not years.

Cabbage Plants Jan. 2010

New pictures of cabbage plants growing in the Leach's shadehouse
at Bombardopolis, Haiti. Cabbage is high in vitamin C and fits well
in the Haitian diet. Especially good in Legim a dish composed of
cooked green leafy vegetables, green papaya, and various other
leafy vegetables.
