Frugal and Energy Efficient Living

i know a few chicken keepers who have a regular dumpster route to get food for them. others get produce where they shop.
this is a great way to keep food from going to waste, but at the same time not having to worry about the "purity" of what you bring home.

also know a few who collect groundfall fruit from neighbors fruit trees. i got some really nice pears last year from one of them. i ate/dehydrate the good ones myself and the girls pigged out on the rest.

there are tons of fruit trees around here that barely get picked.
