Or anything by him, really. It brings a whole new perspective on food! If you're serious about not using the grocery store as much, google local CSA's in your area. They end up being just as cost effective as regular shopping! Cheaper, even!Alyssahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16181256075760984396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7047618339605556391.post-30755120145919124922010-05-25T08:03:34.024-07:002010-05-25T08:03:34.024-07:00I want in.....and I actually know a thing or two a...I want in.....and I actually know a thing or two about cows....Like how to actually milk them by hand, and what to do with the milk once you have the wonderful-thick-frothy stuff in a bucket!<br /><br />Oh, those were the days!

It is so nice knowing where the meat is coming from. At first, I bought it just to support them in this new business venture. I saw Food, Inc. a week later though & was SO SO grateful to have nice happy (albeit dead) cows in my freezer.<br /><br />I have decided that I can't be a farmer, but I can find local growers whom I trust. We don't eat perfectly all the time, but I feel like we're moving in the right direction.Jennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10053294732592347387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7047618339605556391.post-76405831216003620352010-05-24T15:35:06.683-07:002010-05-24T15:35:06.683-07:00Yes, April.

Except I would raise goats for their milk instead of cows- a lot healthier. <br /><br />Joette just read a book about a lady who lived off the land for a year- it was an experiment at first, but it changed her life. <br /><br />40 acres these days would have to be a family contribution to even afford. I can't believe I always grew up on 10 acres and always took it for granted. Land like that now is a fortune.<br /><br />I think that sounds lovely...those pictures are from Spokane aren't they? they look like home to me.Aprilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07457923626670873884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7047618339605556391.post-30391942699760539462010-05-24T10:41:31.871-07:002010-05-24T10:41:31.871-07:00So with you Emily!
