Self Sufficient Me is based on our small 3-acre property/homestead in SE Queensland Australia about 45kms north of Brisbane – the climate is subtropical (similar to Florida). I started Self Sufficient Me in 2011 as a blog website project where I document and write about backyard food growing, self-sufficiency, and urban farming in general. I love sharing my foodie and DIY adventures online so come along with me and let’s get into it! Cheers, Mark 🙂

  1. Looks like an awesome juicer. Important thing to remember though is juices should be consumed in moderation also. 1 glass a day isnt where you'll run into issues but juice typically contains similar amounts of sugar to the average softdrink , often more. Juice separates the fiber from the flavor and sugar allowing you to consume vastly more calories than you normally could from fruit and veg.

    Juice should be enjoyed as any other treat when people start missusing it as a food replacement or drinking large quantities thinking it ill do them good is when it does the exact opposite.

  2. My latest fruit order came from daleys a few days ago. Same box but mine had a bunch of citrus, some smaller finger limes, a guava and an achacha. The achacha is an amazing tasting fruit if you haven't tried it. It tastes like sherbet! Also a great alternative to soda is water kefir. You can flavour it with things like ginger and apple for a ginger beer flavour. It is a fermented drink with a fraction of the sugar. It's great!

  3. My favorite recipes for my cold press juicer: beetroot, apple, ginger. And kale/spinach (or both) apple, orange and mint. Quantities can be adjusted to your taste but treat the ingredients listed in the order of importance so more beetroot and spinach to the other ingredients. I use 3-4 beets, 1 apple and a lot of ginger, but I love the firey kick other maybe not as much. Oh, just remembered I also put a carrot or 2 in both recipes.

  4. The Kuvings EVO820 runs about $600 USD on Amazon, which is about the same amount you would spend on maybe 150 cases of 12 cans of soda. I know families that drink that much soda in a year.

  5. Cool to see the post lady able to reach you guys.
    I've gotta go about 35 minutes down the mountain now for my packages.
    Love the peace and quiet otherwise though.

  6. Add CO2 to a diluted juice with a soda maker and you have a premium soft drink. Not even the sugar is a problem when it's not just sugar and citric acid and aroma but some minerals too

  7. With that garden you'll need a juicing room. Or a juicing compound. It's rather a small unit for someone like you. You should have gone industrial. It's too slow for soft fruit like apples right?

  8. I haven't touched soda for 20 years, but I make Ginger Wine and just decided to make some home brewed Ginger Ale. It is sweetened by Stevia and I only used enough sugar for the Champagne Yeast to work it's magic. You got me interested in growing Turmeric and it's doing even better than the Ginger, so next year I'm making a Ginger/Turmeric Tonic.

  9. I drink pulp free nudie orange juice mixed white water, 1-5 ratio 1 part orange juice 4 parts water. Like a natural cordial. I have a relative that has had her stomach clamped because she can’t loose weight, but she puts it back on once the stomach stretches back out. She tells me she drinks 2L of coke, at least, everyday. I wonder why she can’t keep the weight off.
