perchie.girl : Quote: I raised cow peas in the garden last year, they are like black eyed peas except the eye is purple. They where so easy I just planted 7 seeds and got almost a full quart size bag out of those 7 plants because as soon as you pick a pod it grows another one. I just left...

perchie.girl : Quote: Yum...wish I had some fresh okra to fry in bacon fat right now! Pork fat rules.... Sad to say the only kind I can find here is frozen and chopped. Same goes for Blakeyed Peas.... When ever I find them fresh I buy a whole lug. So I had to resort to some crafty...

Quote: Well, almost all soy is genetically modified and therefore not organic so if your chicken feed says soy and it's not organic feed then it is almost certainly genetically modified. The other heavy hitters are corn, sugar beets (which is a majority of what is labeled "sugar" on the...

My 1st question is how am I supposed to know what foods to buy if they are not labeled, like my chicken feed say soy product I have no idea what type of soy was used. Without some type of labeling how is the consumer supposed to make a choice. I am live in farm country, my uncle and cousin or...

I am not convinced that just because something is labeled organic that its the best. I just watched some interesting information by Joel Salatin and he never claimed that his food was organic. Just doing things a different way I think there is a big movement in this country to know where our...

I know I can't plus I wonder how far some of the organic vegetables and fruits come since I doubt someone is growing bananas here in Kansas.

Quote: I hope it does not get shut down. I think everyone has the right to believe what they want and I feel that this thread has really helped at least me understand more about things then when I first started reading it. I want to eat foods that are better for me and my family without the...

Quote: Can you grow your own? Baker Creek seed company sells great corn and tons of other NON GMO, Heritage and organic seed. I have been getting mine from this company for years and they are awsum, helpful, and the veggi's are the best anywhere, huge volumes of veggi's I feel better than the...

Quote: Thank you I guess I am just overly worried since my grand daughter now has an immune problem due to, to many shots at once she got the flu shot now can not eat any kind of store bought eggs, Luckily my backyard flock eggs seem to be okay for her. So want to make sure that the vegetables...

Quote: I didn't buy any seeds that said hybrid on them so I am hoping that they are just plain regular vegetable seeds I have thought about ordering heirloom seeds has anyone else done this. I worry with hybrid seeds since I am not sure what they did to those seeds and since you can not use...

Quote: Yes, hybrid seed can be organic and is used by organic farmers. GMO is a no. I don't want to eat hybrid vegetables and grains. I want the kind of seeds my grand ma planted. I guess I will wait until I get my own farm and then raise as much of my own food and food for my animals as I...

I have a question, with organic chicken feed are we sure that the grains in the feed are not hybrid grains. I went to get seeds to plant in my garden I went to 4 different places to find no hybrid corn seeds. I just wonder if they can use hybrid seeds in organic feeds. I think hybrid seeds are...

I just watched the show called Fresh it had a lot of great information on it. I now have great ideas about how to run my farm. I did not hear them say organic just the natural way of raising there animals and food. Not using pesticides moving the animals to new grazing areas using chickens to in...
