Are you to the point of eating (meat-wise, anyway) from the farm? With lamb and rabbit at hand, do you find yourself buying less of other types of meat at the store? You know, I don't think I've ever seen photos of chickens on your farm?
ReplyDeleteWe still buy pork and chicken. I buy eggs & pork at the farmers market, but they don't have a chicken vendor.
ReplyDeleteAt our other farm, we had chickens, and even butchered them once, but my chickens got killed by raccoons here at the new place. I think now I could probably get some chickens, since we've got the 'coon situation under control.
