Don't be discouraged. Sharing your trials and tribulations keeps me inspired in the face of my own challenges as I drag my family into healthier eating.

Although I did not grow up on a farm, my mom cooked most of our meals from scratch and did home canning of produce from her kitchen garden. As an adult, these activities seem so normal to me it's hard to imagine that raising vegetables and boning chickens is not part of everyone's repertoire. ;) Funny the things we take for granted, isn’t it?

]]> Comment on The Problem with Raising Chickens by Sally Helland http://www.greengrassliving.com/2010/04/the-problem-with-raising-chickens/comment-page-1/#comment-96 Sally Helland Thu, 22 Apr 2010 01:38:54 +0000 http://www.greengrassliving.com/?p=345#comment-96 I'm so glad to find your blog and website! Last year was our first year to butcher. We butchered the 28 extra roosters that were in our straight run of dual purpose chicks. I too am having to find recipes that use whole birds. I do often boil several birds, make broth and then freeze the cooked meat for quick soups and casseroles! I am so interested in your feed, but I live in Olalla,(just across the Narrows bridge from Tacoma)on our family farm of 23 acres. I'm not sure how I could get feed regularly. We are getting more chicks in a couple of weeks and will have more layers, plus some actual meat birds. We have 19 head of cows too. Some day I want to add turkeys and maybe pigs. All in good time! I can't wait to read the rest of your blog. Sally I’m so glad to find your blog and website! Last year was our first year to butcher.
