Homegrown food is homegrown wealth, 1936. Creator: Dorothea Lange
Homegrown food is homegrown wealth. The foresighted farmer makes a garden plan showing what to plant, when to plant, and when to make second plantings. The plan shows how to cultivate and keep the garden free of weeds, and what poison spray to use to kill the insects that might eat up the vegetables. A garden is meant to feed the family, not the bugs and worms

Homegrown Food is Homegrown Wealth
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a poignant photograph taken by Dorothea Lange during the 1930s, capturing the essence of self-sufficiency and determination in the face of economic hardship. The image depicts a thoughtful farmer, hunched over a table covered in papers and agricultural implements, meticulously planning his garden. The scene is set in the countryside, with the faint outline of a house visible through the window behind him. The farmer's intense focus is on the task at hand, as he carefully studies his garden plan, marking out the dates for planting and second plantings, and noting the necessary steps for cultivation and pest control. The lettering on the table reads "Homegrown Food is Homegrown Wealth," a testament to the importance of self-reliance and the value of growing one's own food during the Great Depression. The farmer's tools of the trade are scattered around him, including a hoe and a hoeing implement, reminding us of the physical labor required to bring forth a bountiful harvest. The photograph is a powerful reminder of the connection between the land, the people who work it, and the food that sustains them. It is a snapshot of a simpler time, when the act of growing one's own food was not just a hobby, but a matter of survival. Dorothea Lange's photograph is a valuable piece of American heritage art, showcasing the resilience and resourcefulness of the farming community during a time of great economic uncertainty. It is a reminder of the importance of fresh air, exercise, and healthy eating, and the enduring value of a homegrown meal. The image is a testament to the power of photography as a medium for capturing the human spirit and the enduring strength of the human will.
