Grow Just One Thing
The first step in a fresh food journey
Growing just one vegetable in your backyard can be the beginning of a fresh new healthy life style
Imagine your children’s excitement and pride as they harvest the carrots they planted and cared for. Imagine watching this home-grown vegetable being happily eaten in a family meal. It really is possible!
This book is all about getting more fresh food into your family’s diet – in less time, and with less stress.
Kyrstie’s dream is for all Australian families to grow at least one fresh food item at home and to experience the benefits that this brings. This book has been written to help more people get started on this journey and to explore where it may lead.
Grow Just One Thing – The first step in a fresh food journey is the debut book of Kyrstie Barcak. Founder of A Fresh Legacy.
Grow Just One Thing will teach you how to grow, how to make the most of your kitchen as part of your new approach to food, and how to use your home grown food in delicious, simple recipes the whole family will enjoy.
You will find examples from people whose lives have been transformed by their love of growing fresh food.
It will help you to create efficient systems and spaces for storing, planning and cooking your meals.
All of this comes from the momentum gained from growing just one thing.
Growing just one thing can have a positive impact on your family menu. It can influence what you eat, the activities you are involved in with your family and ultimately your health and well being. The experience of growing just one thing with your family may be so wonderful that you decide to grow more.

What people are saying:
‘People constantly tell me that they don’t have enough time to do the things they would love to do – like grow and nourish a vegetable garden. That is what I love most about Grow Just One Thing – Kyrstie Barcak meets this objection head on by not only providing all the information you need to establish a simple (or more complicated) garden, but also by providing terrific time saving ideas such as streamlined family based meal planning, smart cooking, how and where to shop online, recipes and quick tips. You need to make the time to do the things you love – put reading Grow Just One Thing on your list. As Kyrstie states ‘growing one thing takes no time at all.‘

“Starting their first food garden can daunt the novice! The prospect seems confronting, complex and very uncertain. The garden centre provides too many choices without any basis to make them. So do how-to-garden books and garden magazines. Kyrstie Barcak’s book helps the novice get started. It encourages and provides basic direction. The new gardener usually has no idea of how important a garden can be to the family’s health. Kyrstie’s book brilliantly inspires. If you are a reluctant new gardener, this book could be the one to get you going.”
