Sure, I pay double or more for them, but I like knowing that the hens were humanely treated. I also appreciate the darker color of the yolks. Our farm stand just opened, and I'm so excited! We don't grow blueberries here, but we have olallieberries. Farm fresh, organic product is such a great thing. I hope your Restoration Farm has a great bounty!Foodiewifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00071730074240565916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30577630.post-82850651422273784392011-05-14T11:57:56.832-04:002011-05-14T11:57:56.832-04:00I see the charm the farm has for you.

I think they just participate more fully in the cycle of life. I hope you remember the Waltons.Have a great weekend T.W. Bob.

For i...You know, chickens are incredibly adaptable. For instance, during the 19th Famin in Ireland, Irish chickens were hunted to near extinction. However, one hardy group learned how to run--and run fast--easily outpacing a staving farmer and his scrawny dog with little effort. Before the Famin ended, it was documented that the Irish chicken had become, after the cheetah, the fastest moving animal on the planet. They eventually retreated to some remote central highlands where they race each other and prey on slower animals like mountain goats and sheep. Even though they are particularly tasty, when was the last time you saw Irish chicken on a menu?--to this day, they are impossible to catch.alfred p.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30577630.post-66238970065727520762011-05-12T12:11:34.676-04:002011-05-12T12:11:34.676-04:00This is cause for celebration, TW!

I am going to be looking forward to enjoying these posts.<br /><br />A couple of weeks ago, I rented a small family garden plot just down the road from my home called Orchards Ponds Organic Farm.

You've had a really hard winter.<br />(Thought of you yesterday. Had lunch with a local magazine publisher/friend and we were discussing food trucks. It appears the reason we never see any around here is Palm Beach County is NOT food truck-friendly.
