Julie Lopez 4/25/2018 7:27 AMGrowing up on a farm in Idaho. I have always enjoyed growing my own organic vegetables and composting our kitchen waste back into my garden. I grew up being aware of what we were using and how and have done that also in my adult life. I have now got rid of all my plastic products in my kitchen for leftovers and switched to glass! Mason jars are great for storing things in the fridge!
