Out here, the use of weedkillers and pesticides that are not biosafe can not be used if you are in a close proximity to water or livestock-and with all the creeks, a lake and a river, and the fact that almost everyone keeps some livestock-even if it is only chickens-that is just about anyplace. The fines are ruinous, running into the 10’s of 1000’s of $$$-but just about everyone is an old hippie, off grider, prepper, etc, as well as a redneck, so that is just fine with us. There are 2 organic farm-to table restaurants out here-T5’s guy and I eat at one that is on a ranch on the river with rustic loveshack cabins-the food is great. The nearest food market specializes in organic produce and free range/grass fed meat. People just need to read labels-if you see an ingredient that ends in ose, that means “sugar”-avoid that and any packaged food, period-it probably contains poison...
Since I can’t afford the farm to table LA restaurants, I try to make that stuff myself. Yours sound great. There were little rural places like that in Switzerland when I lived there. Food never tasted so good.
