The Autumn Raspberry Harvest<\/a><\/h3>\n

    Consumerism isolates & disconnects: The media hypes the desire for this lifestyle, while we struggle to obtain the cash to buy it; and in this process its\u00a0hyper-individualism<\/a>\u00a0turns our focus inwards, isolating us from other people and the natural world.<\/p>\n

    From climate change to resource depletion, the systems which underpin that lifestyle are failing (though if you are\u00a0in the \u2018precariat\u2019<\/a>, arguably that happened twenty years ago). Finding a solution to the trap of affluence, or of state-dependent poverty, requires the same practical response:
    \nOpening-up to new habitual methods for living<\/em>.<\/p>\n

    \u201cIt\u2019s a connection thing…\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

    This post started out as a simple idea: To document how I tend, pick, store, and use the raspberries that grow in the garden. It\u2019s a thing I do as part of daily life. It\u2019s not a chore that needs doing; it\u2019s a release from the \u2018dead\u2019 energy of consumerism, to engage instead with the positive, natural, life-giving energies of own-made food.<\/p>\n

    OK then, it\u2019s not that simple! Thing is,\u00a0preserving food is not cooking!<\/em>\u00a0It requires that you think about your future. This is about raspberries, but it could equally be about seed sprouting, growing lettuce in boxes, or foraging\u00a0(which is what the next post will cover)<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
