I bought a half of a side of organic beef. The steer was raised with no hormones or antibiotics. Best beef that I ever bought and it cost about half of what I would pay in the store. It made me think about how manufactured and jacked up our food supply is.
“...how manufactured and jacked up our food supply is.”
Yep. If you do some research on it, it’s pretty d@mn scary! What passes for, ‘food’ is downright diabolical!
We are trying to be more self-sufficient, now that we’re both retired and have more time to grow a veggie garden, raise critters for meat, keeping laying hens again, learning to make cheese, canning salsa and jams, etc.
Of course, Beau is a HUGE hunter and for Christmas we bought one another rods & reels and basic fishing tackle. We have friends that own boats and LOVE to show them off; we may as well take advantage of that!
We’re also shopping more at our local teeny-tiny General Store. They have the BEST cheeses, bacon and meats, bar none. All local. We also use a local butcher for our beef.
I have some Sourdough Starter perking away. Tuesday is Bread Baking Day; it’s getting to be the best day of the week! :)
My goats are 7 years old and just LOVE junk food!
As well as tree bark, dead leaves and shirttails.
