I grew up around farms and farmers and know where food comes from, but so many people just don't. Corporate farms make money by insulating their consumers from their producers, they really don't want either group to understand the other because being the middleman/broker is their "secret sauce" that keeps them in business.I understand being apprehensive about it at first but with some people there isn't even the willingness to try. I don't know, I guess I just take it too personally.

So much change that I do not know where to start....
side business has been shut down or now. I do not do any processing till we are moved and settled in
I changed jobs, I now earn a living doing what I like, I work in a custom cut meat department.
Farm that we know is currently up for sale...problem being, we are not going into debt at our ages, so we made the decision to take out the cash from years of hard work and start over elsewhere, Lancaster county farmland is currently going for thirty thousand an acre, which is to steep for us..hence, the reason why we are leaving lancaster.
so much more happening, but so little time to type..
I have 6 Bantam roos sitting on top of brooder and crowing at me. Definitely time to go outside. Not even 2 months old! They sound so funny!

Very interesting. I have a SIL that freaks out because a couple times she has bought food from a discount grocery store and it had some bugs in it. While not appetizing, it happens anywhere there is food. I don't worry about it. But I wanted to raise my own chickens so that I have fresh, humanely raised meat. I know it will be hard when processing day comes because I will be doing all the work myself. I know it will be worth it.
One of my favorite podcasters often says "Facts don't care about your feelings." So the facts are, I have chosen to raise some meat birds so that I can be assured of good quality and humane processing. I may have some sad feelings, but the show must go on. Please remind me of this when processing day comes around.

Hope everything works out for you dear. Since we last spoke, I have been able to move to a lovely home with 5 acres. I just picked up my first batch of meat chickens the other day. I only wish I had someone like you to walk me through it the first time. 'm very happy for you that you are doing what you love. Will keep you in my prayers.
