Organic & Thrifty

Welcome to Thrifty Oreganic! Our mission is to promote affordable, sustainable, and local eating and health habits for the whole family.

I am coming from the perspective of a Stay-Near-Home mom (i.e. I’m at home most of the time to do the cooking/baking/purchasing of food). I live in Portland, Oregon. Stores or deals I might mention here may pertain only to Oregonians, but other tips and ideas I share will be relevant to people anywhere! I also write as a mom of a somewhat picky preschooler and a husband who would “rather be eating Doritios”. I try hard to follow the Weston A Price principles of diet and nutrition. I seek to provide a resource to those who want to begin to implement lifestyle & diet changes but who want to do so on a budget.

I hope you will find this blog helpful, encouraging, and perhaps, at times, challeninging you to do what you thought you couldn’t. I know that feeding our children is a very personal matter, and I never mean to offend anyone’s choices. I may come across at times a little bit “soapboxy” on certain topics. If I blast Cheerios, please don’t take it personally! OK, disclaiming for now!

Also, it must be said…..Nothing I say here is intended to cure any disease. The FDA has NOT approved anything that I write about (well, perhaps some things). I believe that the FDA is heavily influenced by agri-business and politics anyway, and any group that says aspartame is healthy for human consumption does not have my deep respect.

I digress…..
