It’s important that you wash your homegrown food in filtered water.  A healthy diet can start in your own backyard and to celebrate that, HomeGrown Culver City is hosting an event to demystify growing food at home.  They hope to help those who are inspired to take the first steps towards harvesting food in their own yards.  HomeGrown Culver City  asked LifeSource Water Systems to take part in their event because they are hyper aware that those growing food at home do not want to rinse their healthy, homegrown food in chlorinated or salty water as a result of water softeners or reverse osmosis water.   With no filters to change, a LifeSource Whole House Water System naturally filters out the chlorine and retains the healthy minerals throughout every faucet in the home. 

Homegrown Culver City takes place on Saturday, October 23 from 9am to 5pm in Media Park, 9070 Venice Bl, Culver City.  HomeGrown Culver City will hold workshops and showcase vendors who celebrate backyard food gardening.  The event is free and will include hourly workshops about keeping chickens, raising bees, permaculture, composting and canning and preserving.  The day will include children’s art projects and music.  There will be food for sale throughout the day.

Those attending are encouraged to bring non-perishable healthy foods.  They are also seeking donations of new, children’s winter clothing.  All proceeds from the day go to Beyond Shelter, a non-profit helping homeless families find permanent housing.  John Lyons, the organizer and a garden consultant says, “The (home grown food) debate has to be expanded to people living in poorer communities.”

Come and learn more about home grown food and clean water at HomeGrown Culver City this weekend.  Don’t forget your donation for Beyond Shelter.  HomeGrown Culver City is a free day and a wonderful community outreach.
