Chicken Herder

My mom is the family photo archivist (and bless her for doing it, because I would never get around to it!). She sends us old pictures from time to time. Most are interesting, but some are simply awesome…here are a pair from that category. Here are my grandmas, each on a cow. Both were born in the very early 1900s (I think 1907 and 1911), so these pictures are probably from the 1920s. They are doing what every one of us have always wanted to do…riding the cow.

I am not saying that we should boycott Whole Foods. I shop at WF for things I cannot produce myself or find locally…but we need to be careful that we don’t just assume everything we find within its doors is good for us.

For the last several years my wife and I have been finding local farmers who raise natural or organic meat and produce. When we buy from a local farmer, we actually go to the farm and see how the food is being raised. When you, the consumer, do this, you become the inspector, and the farmer who has integrity is proud to show you around his or her place.
