I just met up with a gal yesterday who I found on craigslist & bought 10 of her processed chickens that she'd raised. We ate one tonight & I have to say it was darn yummy! It tasted rich & chicken-y & it felt so good to know we were eating a bird that had been raised well and healthily!
I don't have the room or inclination to raise my own, but I'm willing to help support a local farmer by buying theirs!
