A few reasons I garden: Fresh, fully ripe fruit is healthy and tastes better. Good health cannot be bought at any price, so to be healthy is a most valuable blessing, and I thank God I am healthy. In my garden I do not plant gentically modified organisms, and do not use chemicals to poison the pests or weeds, so my fruit is also free from the same. Much of grocery store produce is contaminated.

Another reason: I like to have something of value to share with my family, friends, and even strangers.

One more reason: Famines are beginning, food shortages are a reality and it will get worse. Hunger is how our enemy will enslave the world's population. Whoever controls the food supply, controls the people. People will do just about anything if they are hungry and fearful of starving to death. They would even tolerate being branded like cattle if it meant they could have a bowl of slop. If more people would produce their own food and share, we would be free from the control of corporations and from the beast system.
