By the way I’m a Farmer. I also have an Orchard.. the only thing I have ever sprayed on any produce, fruit trees is 100% Neem Oil.. yes! I do use organic materials from, chickens, horses and cows.. I love gardening.. so peaceful. This subject was a topic at my Farmers market and Agricultural center… so I’m happy to see your video on it. Thank you for helping farmers.. peace to you
Thank you, Kimberly, for standing up to big companies & being willing to take the fallout for doing so. I saw your Instagram post & thought it was sad how so many people were questioning your sanity. You can immediately see the difference in the people who seek the truth & those who are still “drinking the koolaid”. I have been on the same journey as you regarding my food sources. It started when I had a craving for homemade ice cream & so I went to the store to buy “natural ice cream”. Haagen Dazs was the only brand that didn’t use guar gum as an ingredient, although the labels read “all natural”, etc. My journey continued from there. You are brave to speak out. I support you 100%!
You are NOT off the rails! Not at all, you’re 100% spot on. The “food” here in the USA is toxic, unless we locally source, like you are doing. Ever since I watched your video talking about how when you lived in South America and you would lose weight when you were there eating, and moving, the same and then when you come home for a visit, you would gain weight, and so would your friends, that would also go back-and-forth. So I started asking so many people that are not from the United States but travel here, and then go back to their countries, or have moved here, and they say 100% what you said is correct. And everyone of them have said, they’re poisoning you here in America with the food. I am so thankful and so glad that you make these videos about food. Thank you.
This video is 💯‼️correct!! I’m a chef and holistic nutritionist and I’ve been living this way for a long time. I live in North Florida, we have farms and cattle ranches all over. Two times a year we have what’s called the “farm tours” through the Tallahassee farmers market. You can go to the farms, meet the farmers and actually see how they are growing. I have a meat guy, chicken guy, and use two organic farmers. I also have a Tower Garden (Amazing) and grow my own herbs, produce, micro greens, make my own bone broth and some herbal medicine. We need to start taking the power back. Publix is a terrible company now and insanely expensive. They were not always that way. Sold out and their produce is terrible! Bravo on this video! 👏👏👏👏
The information about gassing the fruit was informative - I have noticed over the past several years that the taste of produce is lousy compared with how it use to be.
I’m with you on this. I don’t trust grocery stores anymore. So much fake, unhealthy food. I like farmers markets and buying directly from farmers. I do still shop at grocery stores but have become very selective and I’m reading labels.
Good for you!! And Thank You for sharing this sound nutritional information with your community! I feel extremely fortunate to live in Western Massachusetts where healthy eating is more the norm than other parts of the country. At age 71, I’ve been eating healthy organic foods for decades. I have a garden, I shop numerous local farm stands and we have a farmers market every Saturday in my town. Another resource for me is my local cooperative food market. Only foods locally sourced are sold there. I think you’re doing a great service to your community by sharing this video!! Thank you!!❤
I used to buy fresh eggs and grass fed milk from a farm. The lady that ran it died and her brother took over. He started buying cheap eggs from the store and selling them as fresh, he also started feeding the cows roasted soy beans. I started getting sick and that was my clue. He had another sister that still lived on the farm and we talked to her and that's what she told us he was doing. As a result, I have major trust issues when it comes to people who say they sell organic and grass fed
Have you heard of APEEL? Bill G is behind it so that should tell you a lot. I heard Publix announced they won’t carry any produce that’s been sprayed with APEEL. Maybe your strawberry wasn’t sprayed with APEEL but it’s still very concerning whatever was used. Thank you for sharing your local growers finds! I’m in central FL and I’ll check them out!
@@Debbie-Savings I would ask the manager of the produce department of your local store. Apparently stores are supposed to post a sign and/or the product is labeled as such.
You are spot on about food. I agree with you about the food in the grocery stores. I get so much push back from friends and family. I try to eat local as much as I can.
Thank you for sharing all of this! I wanted to add that although not spraying is a great thing, it all starts from the seeds and the soil. The seeds need to be certified non GMO seeds. A grower might not spray but might be using GMO seeds sometimes without even not knowing it!
I feel very fortunate to live in Northern CA where we have a farmers market all year rounds. And 3 co-op type markets. It's a bit more expensive but if you're eating clean it's not any more in the end.
You ARE spot on and not off the rails. Thank you for your generous resources. I live in Northern Illinois with hopes to find more genuine organic farmers. If anyone here is from my area, please share your local resources. Many thanks, Kimberly! XO
I love making sour dough bread! I’ve shared my starter with so many friends! And we have a new farm stand called “PRODUCE Gal,” so cute! Love Your Videos!🥰You make it feel like we are just girlfriends hanging out!🤗. 😳 No WAY!! Same on the cookies! 🙌🏼My husband calls it the double tree treat! I bake 2 frozen cookies ever evening so we can’t eat more!😂
Just wanted to share a bright spot in my day with you, Kimberly to thank you for so faithfully sharing all your discoveries with us. I have been employing your Skincare made easy wisdom for about a month now and have felt pleased with results so far. Although I don't receive much feedback. Today I had some time to fill while out running errands so I stopped in to a local restaurant for breakfast. There seemed to be a team of waitresses waiting on me and when the one who was to take my order came over, she looked at me and said "Oh you look so pretty." I thanked her and spent the rest of the day so pleased and uplifted thinking of this beautiful, fresh faced young girl noticing me and complimenting me. Thank you for all the wisdom. I am having a ball on my journey. Next up for me is Penny Kelly's parasite cleanse as soon as the last bottle of the 3 part kit arrives! I am tackling the 4 cleanses in a determined effort to free myself from arthritis pain. I am 72 years old (Don't tell my Dr. who says she'd put me at 50) Love, love, love your channel and your zest for life and generosity in sharing. All the best to you.
Thanks to your inspirational video today, I just placed my first local farm order for pick up at the local farmers market this week! I’m so excited. I’ve started my research and found several local farms with good practices. There is an A2 raw milk farm nearby as well. I’ve been wanting to eat local for a while now, and your video was just the nudge I needed. Thank you!
My name is Paulette and I am watching you in West Virginia. How do you get your skin to glow so beautiful? You are gorgeous and look so very young! I am 65 and am going to follow your diet. Thanks for sharing your life 🙏Many blessings wished for you!!❤
I also don't trust grocery stores, and no we are not crazy, but for those of us who are financially challenged, sometimes we are without a choice. I grow what I can grow in the small space that have. I also cook and bake what I can from scratch. This takes time I'm learning. I eat meat very seldom and am dairy free. I also can get eggs from a friend ($1.75 @doz) I no longer go out to eat either. Maybe I am crazy, but when it comes to my food, I really don't trust anyone anymore. Sad,....
Great Video Kimberly. I live in a small town, the closest Trader Joe’s etc are 2 hrs away. I’ve always eaten high protein, low fat diet, but like you i have been trying to go ALL CLEAN, Organic, we do have a small Farmers Market a few times a week, so this has really helped me as when I go, I now will know what questions to ask. I bought “ Organic” bananas a couple weeks ago at Walmart and it was obvious to me that they weren’t Organic. I needed up throwing two away. Clean, fruit is what I’m searching for. If I have to drive 2 hrs to get Clean Fruit etc, I will for sure be doing that as I refuse to purchase produce of any kind at our grocery stores. Thank you so much as this was very helpful for me.
I haven’t checked in with you in quite a while. You are looking very good. You are taking good care of yourself. I caught up on some videos and some good recommendations on health products.
Hi...Im a new followers of yours and Im very greatful that I found your chanel at youtube. It helps me a lot specially on how to take care of myself first all.
This is what I do too, here in sw Florida. The costs are not really different and sometimes cheaper. I also grow my own food. P.S. love Catherine Austin Fitts! Another good one is Texas Slim with the beef initiative.
Thank you for this video. People need to hear this even if they don't like it. I live in Pennsylvania near the Amish. I found out several years ago they often buy their produce from trucks that deliver to grocery stores. I was so disappointed. We have lots of fresh produce stands around my area. I found a few that don't use chemicals. Also we have a lot of raw dairy's close by. You do have ask around and be a detective to find good wholesome produce.
Great informative video! I’m going to check out my local farmers market. I’ve been on a health journey and been focusing on exercise. Now to start on food! Thank you! Love your newsletter and channel!
A lot of small farms are organic growers but can’t afford to pay for that label. Just ask the local farmer. It’s expensive to say organic and it keeps a lot out, even though they are. Some large stores source local. My Walmart does. Ask where they source, they’ll tell you 😊
I have to agree Kimberley we have an allotment we had it for about 12 years now & you can see the difference between the stuff we grow & shop stuff It’s a great idea for us to grow what we can Plus find a good farmers market see you soon ❤
I live in Nebraska, and I hope I can find some good resources here. The really big bummer is, we can't grow warm weather fruits, like citrus, mangoes or bananas. I love my bananas, but I'm not buying any more from the grocery store here. I have had some very weird bananas lately, and I just can't spend my hard earned money on them. I hope I can find some way to get tropical fruits here, too, somehow. I am already looking up the local farmers to see what I can find. I want to learn how to can so I can have fresh stuff in the harsh winter months. Wish me luck! Thank you so much for making this video! You look just gorgeous and so healthy. Keep up the great work you do! ❤
I get a lot of my stuff from the farmers market. Off season we have a store here called Natural Grocers that are pretty picky about their food. This means you might not get everything. It depends on what’s in season. The produce doesn’t look stellar either. Because it’s not full of additives and pesticides. I also want to mention too. Wild Alaska Company. Not sure of where they ship but these are fisherman located in Alaska. You get fish that is straight off the boat, wild caught and I think they are great. Some farmers at the farmers markets deliver or you can coordinate with them off season. And I agree, be careful of what they are growing how they are sourced.
Maybe you're shopping at the wrong store, Driscoll's does sell strawberries from Florida during FL strawberry season, and they were some of the best strawberries this year.
Hi @Kimberly, my wife and just moved to The Villages about a year ago. So grateful for your video here. My wife is now viewing your other videos. Perhaps we could all meet sometime since we have a shared passion! I’ve asked Jeanne to subscribe to your Sunday newsletter so we can connect with you. Lastly, could you share your sources for the following, not specifically mentioned in your video? - butter and heavy cream from ? - recipe for your cookies? - peach farm name? THX SO MUCH!
Thanks for all the info. Sorry you got weird strawberries! Fortunately, that has never happened to me. I do buy organic as well. So far, so good. It is a struggle to find decent meat, chicken.
Thank you so much - this is so thought provoking. I hope I am able to find similar outlets in England, even though we don’t have the climate to grow such a variety of fruits, buying local (clean) is definitely the way to go
I’m a gardener too and I agree with you. They’ve been gassing fruit for years in order to help with the shipping from other places, but something is wrong. They are getting worse at gassing or maybe they aren’t ripening the fruit enough for a safe gassing? I buy my fruit from the farmers market or Costco seems to have a good supplier for their bulk fruit
Wondeful video...❤. I agree with all your thoughts. I live in the UK not far from a city centre and its quite difficult to source clean food but Ive decided to make it a goal to resesrch and find them.
Thank you for this. I have also been unhappy with the so-called organic fruit and vegetables in my local grocery store. Like you said it's hard in certain areas where you live to find what you have in florida and I just wish that this country would give us all the fresh organic pasture raised foods that we all need no toxins no chemicals and lower costs as you know organic pasture raised is very pricey sad but true but we shouldn't have to pull threads and research research to have good foods sources for us all just think of all the diseases we could eliminate
Up here our grocery stores wrap the organic produce in plastic so it won't be "contaminated" by the regular produce. Kinda think it should be the other way around!!
Kimberly, you are living proof that everything you are doing is working. You look healthier and prettier every time I see you on your channel. I’m going to try more to accomplish your level. I live in NJ and our farmers market is worse than the grocery store. Wish me luck! Oh I forgot to ask you a question, I recently read an article that contact wearers are getting mercury in their blood stream from the solution. I don’t know what to believe because of course they were selling a product to remove toxic chemicals from your body.
Guess I have to move! Be aware that just because it is a “local farmer”. Doesn’t mean it is organic and without any pesticide. You have to ask at the farmers market and hope you are getting the truth….
Kimberly, I want to thank you so very much for this absolutely fabulous, and informative video ! 🥰 I agree with you 100%. It is truly tragic, and criminal, that our population is having to spend an exorbitant amount of their hard earned money on groceries, and cannot trust that their food will be fresh, and not modified, and poisoned in some fashion. As you so accurately stated, even "Organic" no longer means clean, and free from all pesticides, hormones, etc... I truly Love the practice of buying from, and supporting our local farmers, and food producers. We really do need to return to "The Good Old Days", and advocate for a much Healthier, and Happier life style. ♥️♥️♥️
Thank you for bringing awareness to this topic. At the end of the day, we will naturally gravitate towards an all carnivore lifestyle especially if you are seeking healthy eating and trying to avoid as many chemicals as you can. I wish our government cared about us versus protecting lobbyists and their personal greed.
I live in Michigan so it’s only possible to go to farm stands during the summer months. Where can a northern resident find whole fresh fruits and vegetables? Do you look online to find the places to get meat and product? Thank you for providing the CSA information. I’ll check it out.
Love, love Love this! I am a Nutritionist, and I learned how factory frankenfood is produced. It’s a crime. Thank you so much for creating this video to enlighten people on this reality. Vote with your $!!!!!!!.
I'm moving away from the supermarket too. I'm baking my own bread and I hope to start making my own yogurt soon too. I wish we could get good organic produce here in the UK. I find that it's not that easy to find what I want and when I do it's horrendously expensive. In the US, people seem to be able to find so much more that's organic in terms of fruit and vegetables.
I really appreciated this video. FYI, there is no such thing as grass finished dairy. If it is "grass finished" then the cow has been harvested and you can't get dairy from a harvested cow.
I totally agree with your way of eating...It is good to see others who are health conscious. I grow an acre better than organic garden with no pesticides or herbicides...This year we have had swarms of grasshoppers that choose to eat everything in sight. So I put up hoops with bug netting and any grasshoppers that happen to get into them I throw into a bucket of soapy water...I have noticed that we also, now, have had an influx of the predators of grasshoppers which are Preying Mantis's and birds...It is amazing how God's Creation takes care of the imbalances... I found another idea that may help you with your search for amazing fruit. On Prepper Princess's channel she shows you how to forage for the freshest, ripest fruit in parks, camp grounds and other places where no people even seem to visit...She is in CA but I am sure that in FL you would have the same opportunities... She never pays for fruit and gets blackberries, mulberries, plums, cherries, oranges, lemons, apricots, grapes and the list goes on and on... I hope this helps...
Hi Kimberly..always enjoy your videos....do you think you have stopped moving now..?.. will you stay in the villages forever...would love to see more videos about your everyday life😊
I'm in Southern California. So we have great farmers markets, I think we need to be aware that eating like this is a privilege, I'm paying 4.25 a pound for organic Stone fruit which has gone up since last year. Last year, it was 3.75lb i'm happy to pay that but a lot of people can't afford to eat that way.
This happens to fruit when you flood it with water just before harvest to make it prettier. It’s done to oranges and lots of fruit. Our food is manipulated through the whole growing process.
Love, love love your hair! I agree that most food is toxic..I buy organic and have had similar frankenfruit/frankenfood experiences. I live in the desert SW and farmers markets are sparse and most not very good.
There have been reports of fruit like bananas that don’t break when bent, has an Odor. Blueberries squishy like or rubbery.. I grow most of everything we eat. I purchase grass fed beef that local. Grocery stores are a little scary for me. I mean when there is no flavor in a watermelon, that’s a problem… I really enjoyed this video. Organic is not truly organic in any store.
Hello Kimberly. Thank you for the wonderful videos you bring forth. I totally agree with you about grocery store "organically grown." It's so frightening to think how we are being fooled by the very people we trust. I often wonder who is monitoring the organically grown items we're eating. Buying organic often means double the price and although sometimes the products taste and seem good, sometimes I cannot tell the difference and I find myself wondering what process are the manufactures using to say organic and who's monitoring this. Obesity, heart disease and diabetes are running rampant in this country. Much of the land that used to grow the delicious fruits and vegetables have been sold to investors, many of them from other countries, who do not have the American diet at their best interest. It seems as though it's a slow poisoning. The problem is not everyone can grow their own fruits and vegetables. So we need to have a reliable source to go to who truly grows real food.
By the way I’m a Farmer. I also have an Orchard.. the only thing I have ever sprayed on any produce, fruit trees is 100% Neem Oil.. yes! I do use organic materials from, chickens, horses and cows.. I love gardening.. so peaceful. This subject was a topic at my Farmers market and Agricultural center… so I’m happy to see your video on it. Thank you for helping farmers.. peace to you

@@Debbie-Savings I would ask the manager of the produce department of your local store. Apparently stores are supposed to post a sign and/or the product is labeled as such.
I have taken the same steps as you about 2 years ago. Has been life changing. Worth the effort to switch over!
You are spot on about food. I agree with you about the food in the grocery stores. I get so much push back from friends and family. I try to eat local as much as I can.
You look great. I love the darker eyeshadow on you,arches your top and a nice change. Thanks for the eating tips! ❤
I mean, "matches" your top! 😮
I buy only frozen fruit. It’s picked when the fruit is ripe and frozen so you get more of the nutrients.
Thank you for sharing all of this! I wanted to add that although not spraying is a great thing, it all starts from the seeds and the soil. The seeds need to be certified non GMO seeds. A grower might not spray but might be using GMO seeds sometimes without even not knowing it!

Yes....many times i have bought strawberries that look beautiful on the outside and are just white sponge on the inside....you are absolutely right❤
I freeze fresh picked organic fruit in season. It's almost as good as fresh. It's definitely better than the grocery store! I support local farmers.
Another great video! You spurred me on to find local food sources near me. Guess what, there are many here! Thanks for the information you shared.
You ARE spot on and not off the rails. Thank you for your generous resources. I live in Northern Illinois with hopes to find more genuine organic farmers. If anyone here is from my area, please share your local resources. Many thanks, Kimberly! XO

It depends on what’s in season. The produce doesn’t look stellar either. Because it’s not full of additives and pesticides. I also want to mention too. Wild Alaska Company. Not sure of where they ship but these are fisherman located in Alaska. You get fish that is straight off the boat, wild caught and I think they are great.
Some farmers at the farmers markets deliver or you can coordinate with them off season. And I agree, be careful of what they are growing how they are sourced.
I am looking forward to visiting these local farmers! Thank you for this video it’s just what I was looking for when I get there! ❤
Great video! I always try to eat organic but it’s becoming more difficult not to mention how expensive; however, pay now or pay later!
Thank you, Kimberly! This video is great❣️
Great video Kimberly. Thank you! Could you tell us what coffee are you using?
You’re close to Plant City, FL, strawberry season is in February. Getting Driscoll fruits at the supermarkets are based in CA, far from FL.
Are they organic
Maybe you're shopping at the wrong store, Driscoll's does sell strawberries from Florida during FL strawberry season, and they were some of the best strawberries this year.
@@kathyjohnston3971yes,they sell organic and non organic strawberries
Thank you, Kimberly, for the links. I live in the area and look forward to finding some decent food!
Hi @Kimberly, my wife and just moved to The Villages about a year ago.
So grateful for your video here. My wife is now viewing your other videos. Perhaps we could all meet sometime since we have a shared passion! I’ve asked Jeanne to subscribe to your Sunday newsletter so we can connect with you.
Lastly, could you share your sources for the following, not specifically mentioned in your video?
- butter and heavy cream from ?
- recipe for your cookies?
- peach farm name?
THX SO MUCH!
For Dairy: fullcirclerealfoods.com/, found the peach farm on Facebook (Local Farms) Good luck!
Thank you so much, precious Kimberly, for this great info! I am planning on moving to TV within the next 6 months so this will help me tremendously!
Thanks for all the info. Sorry you got weird strawberries! Fortunately, that has never happened to me. I do buy organic as well. So far, so good. It is a struggle to find decent meat, chicken.
Thank you for all the great information. Can we have your cookie recipe??😊
Thank you so much - this is so thought provoking. I hope I am able to find similar outlets in England, even though we don’t have the climate to grow such a variety of fruits, buying local (clean) is definitely the way to go
I’m a gardener too and I agree with you. They’ve been gassing fruit for years in order to help with the shipping from other places, but something is wrong. They are getting worse at gassing or maybe they aren’t ripening the fruit enough for a safe gassing? I buy my fruit from the farmers market or Costco seems to have a good supplier for their bulk fruit
I cannot find the link to your Sunday newsletter… Help?
This is just SOOO GOOD! Thank you.
Thank you Kimberly ❤️
Wondeful video...❤. I agree with all your thoughts. I live in the UK not far from a city centre and its quite difficult to source clean food but Ive decided to make it a goal to resesrch and find them.
Thank you for this. I have also been unhappy with the so-called organic fruit and vegetables in my local grocery store. Like you said it's hard in certain areas where you live to find what you have in florida and I just wish that this country would give us all the fresh organic pasture raised foods that we all need no toxins no chemicals and lower costs as you know organic pasture raised is very pricey sad but true but we shouldn't have to pull threads and research research to have good foods sources for us all just think of all the diseases we could eliminate
Up here our grocery stores wrap the organic produce in plastic so it won't be "contaminated" by the regular produce. Kinda think it should be the other way around!!
Excellent information! Thank you so much!! I would not have known where to even start.
Thank you for all the information, I found several growers in my area.
You can also look into csa farms too
Great video! And what eyeshadow brand/color are you wearing?
Kimberly, you are living proof that everything you are doing is working. You look healthier and prettier every time I see you on your channel. I’m going to try more to accomplish your level. I live in NJ and our farmers market is worse than the grocery store. Wish me luck! Oh I forgot to ask you a question, I recently read an article that contact wearers are getting mercury in their blood stream from the solution. I don’t know what to believe because of course they were selling a product to remove toxic chemicals from your body.
Thank you! Very informative. ❤
Guess I have to move! Be aware that just because it is a “local farmer”. Doesn’t mean it is organic and without any pesticide. You have to ask at the farmers market and hope you are getting the truth….
Yep, in Australia it's the same. Food is toxic, we grow some or food. You need to be careful what you buy. It's only time before we grow all we need.
Kimberly, I want to thank you so very much for this absolutely fabulous, and informative video ! 🥰 I agree with you 100%. It is truly tragic, and criminal, that our population is having to spend an exorbitant amount of their hard earned money on groceries, and cannot trust that their food will be fresh, and not modified, and poisoned in some fashion.
As you so accurately stated, even "Organic" no longer means clean, and free from all pesticides, hormones, etc...
I truly Love the practice of buying from, and supporting our local farmers, and food producers. We really do need to return to "The Good Old Days", and advocate for a much Healthier, and Happier life style. ♥️♥️♥️
Agreed!
Thank you for bringing awareness to this topic. At the end of the day, we will naturally gravitate towards an all carnivore lifestyle especially if you are seeking healthy eating and trying to avoid as many chemicals as you can. I wish our government cared about us versus protecting lobbyists and their personal greed.
I live in Michigan so it’s only possible to go to farm stands during the summer months. Where can a northern resident find whole fresh fruits and vegetables? Do you look online to find the places to get meat and product? Thank you for providing the CSA information. I’ll check it out.
So happy I found your channel!
Love, love Love this! I am a Nutritionist, and I learned how factory frankenfood is produced. It’s a crime. Thank you so much for creating this video to enlighten people on this reality. Vote with your $!!!!!!!.
Over here in New Smyrna Beach, we have two farmers markets, and they both might as well be the grocery store. No one around here grows food.
Good point, buyer beware at FL farmers markets. Need to ask a lot of questions
Excellent video!
Thanks for all the useful information.
The fruit that you buy is. It sprayed at all? How do they keep the bugs from eating their fruit ? Just curious.
Excellent content!
Thanks Kimberly for your good suggestions. In London, Uk we haven't got farms nearby but would travel if i find what i want. You ate doing great ❤.
Very eye opening. Thank you.
I'm moving away from the supermarket too. I'm baking my own bread and I hope to start making my own yogurt soon too. I wish we could get good organic produce here in the UK. I find that it's not that easy to find what I want and when I do it's horrendously expensive. In the US, people seem to be able to find so much more that's organic in terms of fruit and vegetables.
I really appreciated this video. FYI, there is no such thing as grass finished dairy. If it is "grass finished" then the cow has been harvested and you can't get dairy from a harvested cow.
I totally agree with your way of eating...It is good to see others who are health conscious.
I grow an acre better than organic garden with no pesticides or herbicides...This year we have had swarms of grasshoppers that choose to eat everything in sight. So I put up hoops with bug netting and any grasshoppers that happen to get into them I throw into a bucket of soapy water...I have noticed that we also, now, have had an influx of the predators of grasshoppers which are Preying Mantis's and birds...It is amazing how God's Creation takes care of the imbalances...
I found another idea that may help you with your search for amazing fruit. On Prepper Princess's channel she shows you how to forage for the freshest, ripest fruit in parks, camp grounds and other places where no people even seem to visit...She is in CA but I am sure that in FL you would have the same opportunities... She never pays for fruit and gets blackberries, mulberries, plums, cherries, oranges, lemons, apricots, grapes and the list goes on and on... I hope this helps...
Wonderful information.
Hello love your videos interesting healthy eat ❤🎉😊 xx
Maybe try Whole Foods
Hi Kimberly..always enjoy your videos....do you think you have stopped moving now..?.. will you stay in the villages forever...would love to see more videos about your everyday life😊
Great channel whether you are 20 or 50 plus.
I'm in Southern California. So we have great farmers markets, I think we need to be aware that eating like this is a privilege, I'm paying 4.25 a pound for organic Stone fruit which has gone up since last year. Last year, it was 3.75lb i'm happy to pay that but a lot of people can't afford to eat that way.
..."people just want the truth. they want honesty." yes, they do want honesty. yes, kimberly, they do want truth. Are you giving that?
This happens to fruit when you flood it with water just before harvest to make it prettier. It’s done to oranges and lots of fruit. Our food is manipulated through the whole growing process.
Love, love love your hair! I agree that most food is toxic..I buy organic and have had similar frankenfruit/frankenfood experiences. I live in the desert SW and farmers markets are sparse and most not very good.
I eat exactly like you do Kimberly. We are on the same page. I have had to do all the same things.
Trying to find CSA
There have been reports of fruit like bananas that don’t break when bent, has an Odor. Blueberries squishy like or rubbery.. I grow most of everything we eat. I purchase grass fed beef that local. Grocery stores are a little scary for me. I mean when there is no flavor in a watermelon, that’s a problem… I really enjoyed this video. Organic is not truly organic in any store.
Great video. Years ago I lived in NC and had great connections for healthy food. Im in another state now looking for connections here.
Hello Kimberly. Thank you for the wonderful videos you bring forth. I totally agree with you about grocery store "organically grown." It's so frightening to think how we are being fooled by the very people we trust. I often wonder who is monitoring the organically grown items we're eating. Buying organic often means double the price and although sometimes the products taste and seem good, sometimes I cannot tell the difference and I find myself wondering what process are the manufactures using to say organic and who's monitoring this. Obesity, heart disease and diabetes are running rampant in this country. Much of the land that used to grow the delicious fruits and vegetables have been sold to investors, many of them from other countries, who do not have the American diet at their best interest. It seems as though it's a slow poisoning. The problem is not everyone can grow their own fruits and vegetables. So we need to have a reliable source to go to who truly grows real food.
