kellystef Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Hi everyone! My name is Kelly. I'm currently living near Birmingham, AL. Moved here this summer. I've been a raw vegan for 7 months, mostly fruitarian with the exception of greens and some veggies. I feel great and I have tons of energy. I've been working on self sustainability and building up a fruit orchard and veggie garden so lately my exercise has been from lifting trees, digging, building, and running around my property. I'm almost done with that and I want to start getting back into a fitness routine with running, cycling, weight lifting, etc. I've also been working on building an online social network for vegans and vegetarians in Alabama. Any locals on here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Octopussoir Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Hello from Huntsville! Glad to see another neighbor on here. Less than a handful of us Alabamians on here. One day I'll have a fruit and veggie garden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kellystef Posted November 1, 2009 Author Share Posted November 1, 2009 Thank you for the welcomes! Glad to see another Alabamian on here! I have a ton of different trees; different varieties of persimmons, figs, apples, pomegranates. I also have blackberry bushes, blueberries, raspberries, kiwis, grapes and pineapple plants. 45 trees, bushes, and shrubs in total! I'm hoping to get even more soon. It's a lot of work, but so rewarding! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Octopussoir Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Can I make a trip and reap some of the rewards too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Octopussoir Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Dont think I won't take you up on it. This year alone I picked about 30lbs of figs in just two visits to a neighbors house. I'm a good gatherer. Too bad I was competing at the time and couldn't enjoy all of them. Ain't nothin better than organic fruit straight from the source!!
