Food for thought! The Lunatic Farmer - Joel Salatin

This may be a stretch for some of us, but it is good food for thought.  I think that Joel has a good point, his understanding of agriculture was held by nearly all American farmers up till the late 50's.  There are still a few old men that farmed pre-1960's that tell me about how for generations they farmed.  Don't get me wrong, I appreciate some of the modern progresses in machinery and other tools that make things easier today, but we have forsaken most of the attributes that made America great for so many years.  Some being a strong family unit, things done with integrity, less regulation/legislation, hard work and stewardship vs. environmental extremism.

Future food?

Saw this article on FoxNews and thought our followers might find it interesting what scientists are trying to do to our food supplies.  www.foxnews.com/scitech/2011/06/17/japanese-scientists-create-meat-from-poop/?test=faces

You will never find support for practices such as this from us!  It is a blessing to know where your food comes from.  Buy fresh from the farm!

Beef Consumption in USA hits record low!

WASHINGTON:  Beef consumption in the USA has hit the lowest level since consumption records began in 1958.  Beef consumption fell by 1.4 pounds in 2010 to 59.7 pounds per capita.  Pork consumption fell even more at 2.2 pounds to a per capita consumptions of 48 pounds.  The fall in per capita meat consumption reflects the decline in the available domestic supply due to falling animal numbers and growing export sales.  Chicken consumption rose in 2010 in large due to slowing export sales.

Crops are planted!

We just wanted to praise the Lord for allowing us, and all of our family and friends to get their crops planted this spring.  It has been a very difficult year to get in the fields due to the heavy rain and storms.  The Lord gave us nearly 10 days of weather that allowed the tractors to roll out of the shed and plant all those little seeds that in time will hopefully reap a bountiful harvest come fall.  These farmers put in huge days, some working around the clock to get their livelihood planted into the rich Indiana soil.  Many having mothers and wives bring them lunch and supper out to the field, each making the sacrifice it takes to complete the task.  God bless each one of you for contributing to feed families all around the world and those right in our own neighborhood. 

Chicken, Turkey, and Geese coming soon!

Many of our farm customers have enjoyed the difference between our farm raised chicken, and store bought chicken.  You can taste the difference!  We are still raising chickens and have decided to bring you pastured turkeys, geese, and ducks.  These birds will be ready for your family to enjoy coming this fall, just in time for all the great holiday gatherings.  Place your order, to be sure and have a bird reserved just for you!
