Charlie, I envy you your fresh goods. We grew up doing the same, but now we don't have the space or ordinances to grow or raise our own things now; just small gardens. My two brothers live in areas where they can, so I benefit from some of the beef, eggs, almonds, apples, berries, and etc.
A big cup of double chocolate coffee in my mug to go with my toast. |
Backyard chickens are becoming much more possible these days. Many cities (even NYC) have allowed them, usually with an upper limit to the number allowed. And the space required is trivial. As for the rest? I get my meat from local farmers -- I go to Vancouver Island once a year for beef and lamb, and get my (meat) chickens and pork from Powell River. In both cases from farmers I know and who raise the animals organically and humanely. I don't have room to do more than I do, but I do like the idea of having my own eggs. And I
really enjoy making and curing my own bacon and sausages. Fun and I know what is in them!
