Know about your food!

I pay 7 bucks a dozen for eggs. happily. And its not because I feel cool spending more on food. I do it because Ive seen production method commodity "farming" and it scares me.

http://www.npr.org/blogs/thesalt/20...the-rise-of-cage-free-eggs-means-for-chickens.

We have a farm about 2 miles from my house that has cage free non-antibotic eggs they sell there along with all organic fruits and vegetables. They only down side it that they are not too big and only have 3-4 items that are in season. Right now they have blueberries, rasberries and potatos along with eggs. I am more than willing to pay more for their eggs knowing they are about as natural and as fresh as they can be.

Me, too.

I really wish I could have my own chickens.

In most cities in Portland you can have up to 4 chickens I think, but you cannot have roosters within city limits. One of our friends have a big garden and 4 chickens that are just starting to lay eggs for the first time.

I know someone who got her own chickens, but got rid off them. She said they were the most expensive eggs ever. :)

I thought this thread was going to be about avoiding pregnancy
