My name is Julie Thorpe. I started Brave Heart Farm as a chicken refuge for chickens that are sold as roasters at the local feed store. I did this as a proactive expression of my reasons for being a vegetarian. A limited diet that excludes meat is a good way to impact industrial farming, but I also feel the need to provide what I think is acceptable conditions for farm animals. I believe that all living things deserve to have a comfortable and happy life. I also believe that consumers will adapt to whatever is sold in markets. It has been proven again and again that farm animals are not the " be all end all" of the American diet, so why should these animals suffer to feed a nation with an obesity epidemic?
My chickens keep me in touch with what is important and remind me that a healthy diet is achieved at the local level, as close to home as possible. by creating a self-sustaining environment, I have been able to find a sound balance by being an active participant in a self-sustaining system. My chickens are a resource which provides me with nutrition and comfort because I take care of my flock with proper nutrition and care. there is so much more satisfaction in eating food when I know that I have worked for it.
