ABOUT THIS VIDEO 

N'Credible Edibles founders Jordan and Meleah are helping San Luis Obispo grow its backyard food programs by bringing together landowners and volunteers who barter their time in exchange for their share of the food. In addition to providing an inexpensive and fresh food source to the community, N'Credible Edibles builds gardens that thrive with the local environment to dramatically reduce (or totally eliminate) demands for water, chemicals as well as maintenance. Low cost, organic and edible foods that bring the community together while keeping thousands of gallons of water in the ground? Now that's N'Credible!"


DIG DEEPER
  • Visit Meleah and Jordan’s N’credible Edibles website to learn about the permaculture philosophies you saw incorporated in this video. These and other principles are building blocks for self-reliant land use and community planning.
  • Although these homeowners are lucky to have access to such a large yard, food gardens are possible in spaces both large & small, including community gardens and windowsills. One of our favorite gardening blogs, YouGrowGirl, has a handful of tools, resources and anecdotes about gardening for all-level gardeners!
  • The average food item travels 1500 miles from farm-to-table. That's a lot of greenhouse gases spewed into the air-- especially when there are better alternatives!
  • Use this handy guide from the internationally acclaimed food enthusiast and author Michael Pollan to find easy ways on how to make fresh and unprocessed foods a staple in your day-to-day diet!
