Make sure you check the labels of anything you buy, whether it's at a store or at the farmers markets.
I bought 'organic' desert raised beef two years ago at the Roadrunner Park farmers market that ended up having MSG in it.
I've been racking my br…
A Bar H farm is a local farm from the san simeon they deliver to central area's around town. They next delivery is on February 19. they have grass fed beef, lamb and free range chicken. no hormone etc. abarhfarm.com
although they are out of chicken…
There are grass (range) fed beef people at the farmer's markets (I know they're at the downtown one and the town and country one, I imagine they're at several others as well). I think they specify that they are hormone-free etc as well. Chicken you…
Does anyone have a good source for buying organic meats? I am especially interested in chicken and turkey and occassionally beef.Thanks@
Dianne- thanks for the great information! I am also very much looking forward to visiting Ken's someday and getting some of his compost to start re-mediating my soil. I'd better get to work to prepare!
Well, Terry and I went out to Ken's this morning and enjoyed the trip very much. We walked through the small open air market which is really set up nice and walked the paths through the farm. It is lovely. The best news is the compost is awesome. A…
Some of you may be interested in knowing that Ken donates huge piles of compost to the Rose Garden at Mesa Community Garden beginning in Jan. At least he did last year, and the Rose Society sells huge bags of compost that weigh about 40 lbs. for aro…
Not a problem. Actually I was only speaking for us on the bagged stuff. I hate asking my husband to tote a bunch of 100 pounders that we get at Lowe's and don't want to take a chance on another herniated disc.
You are very welcome in regards to the…
We'll see you there at 11:45 Andrea.
Wow- I looked at your photos- what an amazing transformation! I am just at the beginning of that journey as I just closed on the house at the end of June. Would it be OK if I asked who you had remove the ash trees? I have a large i-don't-know-what-t…
I can sure relate to your current project and hard work. It took us 2 years to clear out all the overgrowth and unwanted plants in our front yard, then weeks of hauling out dirt and mixing in compost before we could start putting my plan to work. I…
Wow look at that...it is supposed to rain! (I hope it actually does!) I am more than comfortable with waiting...Lord knows I have a ton of prep work I should be doing in the yard to get ready for it anyways! My yard is literally under construction-…
It looks like we may be getting rain anyway next week so there really isn't any hurry if that's the case. We have a couple more raised beds to build before we need most of it anyway so we can plan it around schedules and weather later. With Christma…
Dianne-
If you're not in a huge hurry then would it be at all possible to try for Dec 19th as opposed to the 12th? I've discovered that my roommate is unavailable to help, and I'm not sure my boyfriend is available either so if it's not a huge inco…
good point Chris! I'm sure both activities will leave me equally sore!
We are really not in a hurry either I was just thinking it would be better to get a load moved just in case it ever does "rain" here again. Fluffy is easier to move than wet. And my "fancy trailer" is anything but. It has been put to good use for a…
