Organic vegetables.


The largest organic market in the world is less than 50 miles away and the land has been called the most fertile in the world. Allot of obstacles to overcome and the land is still tied up for 4 years but it's always been a dream of mine to farm. We will see.

Very cool!

Plaid flannels, or plain old coveralls?

Just curious, what's the difference between organic vegetables and the one's you grow in dirt?

You have to wear Birkenstock sandals while eating the organic ones. That, and they're scrawny.

I had some free ranging chickens once, but they didn't hold up very well. The last one was murdered right in front of me by a mangy trespassing dog.

He didn't hold up very well either, since I was carrying my single six with the magnum cylinder installed at the time.

So I guess the moral of the story is don't steal any chickens from a well armed farmer.
