Is there anyone here, who supports or owns an organic farm?

Question

I'm from Ontario, Canada. I work at an organic farm as a farm hand. We raise organic beef, chickens, and pigs.

Where you from? What do you farm? Do you like to buy organic farm produce more than produce at grousry stores?

Answer 1

Stony,
I used to be a member of Sacramento Natural Foods Co-op, in California. I was a member there from 1986 to last year, when I moved to Texas. I haven't actually resigned yet, but I can't exactly shop there at the moment. I shopped there since it started up in the early 70s. I mentioned before that I had my own 1-acre "farm." So I discussed this much with friends and family, and still talk about it often. And of course, I buy organic produce when I can find it. (Sadly, the produce I have found here in TX. is terrible.)

What happened with your art show in June?

Answer 2

Don't really understand the term organic. But my family's cows eat grass from spring to fall and eat hay that my grandpa spent years getting it to grow just right. ( no briers, thistles, milkweed, or anything that they won't eat or isn't good for them.) And 30 cows get to split a treat of one quart of mineral salt each day from spring to fall. My husbands family is the same way plus they carry a steer to the slaughter house and we eat the meat. (which tastes different from store bought without all the preservatives in it)
We also have small vegatable gardens.

I don't buy "organic" from the store because it's more expensive. My family farms to save money. We give a couple hundred dollars for around 800lbs of beef that feeds 6 families when you would spend that much to feed one family with store bought beef.

I grew up in southern TN and my husband grew up in north AL. My family's 30 head got cut to only 12 because of the drought and that my grandpa wouldn't accept hay from the government because it wasn't his special grown hay. Plus if the cows eat the weeds they will "spread" the seeds and we would have to go through to whole process of getting it out again aka 5 gal bucket, shovel (to dig it root and all out), and alot of walking.

bypass on your community library and look into each and every e book on organic and organic farms and vegetation, and attempt studying approximately anti- inflammatory vegetation and create organic and organic creams and soaps and improve that empire bigger x

I would not spend one cent on the stuff, if it was the ONLY thing on the shelf.
