I’m glad it was helpful!

If you eat meat, it comes from somewhere. Our animals are raised in conditions that keep them happy and healthy. They only have one bad day. I’d rather eat meat that I know comes from animals that are well cared for than from a feed lot.

I agree they are cool animals and I personally could not kill them except in the case of shtf and I needed them for survival. They are so great at making soil rich and their urine is a natural insecticide. My bun has done wonders for my previously dead yard.

Good call! I’ve had a tough go and am no where near an expert yet. But I learn more every year!

Ah! Thanks!

Aw thanks!

That is a good idea! I may have to get a scale!

Yes, cutting down feed costs definitely helps. I personally haven’t implemented many changes, but I have watched videos where chickens till manure and clippings into compost, then feed for other animals is grown in the compost. I haven’t had the time or resources to do it yet though.

Yes for sure!

Haven’t met any of those yet. 😉

I’m not sure. I’ve gotten my meat back both ways. (Different butchers)

Did I ever get them to you? Did you email me? Lorella dot crews at Mac dot com

Not at this time, but we have talked about it!

@@LorellaPlanBeeOrchardandFarm ok

Haha, maybe! But I’ll need to know more about you first.

I’m glad you found it helpful!

My husband is allergic to chicken. We eat rabbit meat. We do not sell them for food. Many people eat rabbit.

I’m so glad you found it helpful. :)

We do not sell individual cuts of meat. We sell by the half or whole. However, many small butchers have a meat counter where you can purchase meat. I would check one of those. Let me know if you find a good source!

@@LorellaPlanBeeOrchardandFarm Thank you!

Probably will work just as well!

😂😂😂😂

I love raised beds! I’ve got a lot of my garden in “lick tubs” and it’s so great.

Hi Kim! Welcome. I’ve not got any new videos, but there’s a lot for you to browse through. I like your gardening skills. This year I only planted berries. And I promised myself I would only buy plants if I could go home and plant them the same day. I’ve had problems before of buying plants then they did because I never plant them.

That sounds amazing! I bet your bunnies love it. ❤️

You’re so welcome! I’m glad you were able to tell. :)

Good tip thanks

😂😂😂 Thanks and Welcome aboard!

Great! Around here they call morels “Ozarks Gold”. And the growing spots are well guarded secrets.

It is much harder when they are small. You may not be applying enough pressure around that area to push it up enough where you can see it. I mean, be gentle, but you do kind of have to push the skin back pretty far and it really just takes a lot of practice. Hang in there. You’ll get it.

Well, I’m coming in with the assumption that someone watching this is already considering buying half a beef. To store that much meat it would have to be frozen, or you’d have to be feeding a couple hundred people at a time. 😂 But more to your point I do think it’s better to buy local when you can and support local business. There is something satisfying about looking in the eyes of and shaking the hand of the person who grew, raised, or made the product you are buying. It’s one of the things I love about shopping at the farmers market. I do think that grass raised meat tastes better and is better for you than feed lot meat. It’s also a better value over time and per pound to buy half a beef. My buyers are getting every cut of meat, including steaks, filets, ribs, tritip, etc. for around $5 a pound after paying me and the butcher. You can’t get grass feed beef for that price in store, whether fresh or frozen. Store prices have gone up so much in the last five years, and I haven’t raised my prices yet. my cattle eat the grasses grown on our farm, my cost to raise them hasn’t gone up much and I’m able to keep prices down. It’s also less carbon emissions for my truck to haul a few head of cattle to the butcher and for the customer to pick it up. They’re not being transported by big rig across great distances either before or after processing. Lastly, one of the butchers I use IS a USDA inspected facility. But they also do butchering without the USDA stamp, which saves my buyer money. Same place, same process, just costs less. So, yeah, I think it’s better. Plus I made the video from the POV of a small farmer. So OF COURSE I have an agenda. I would love for everyone to have closer ties to their food and land. That’s one of the core values of our farm. But I also hope this video was educational about the process of buying from a local producer, because I know first hand how confusing it can be.

Oh I’m so sorry to hear that. Where are you?

Good tip! This metal was left over (partial pieces) from our house build.

But wouldn't it be too loud during rain?

@@StückaEsser Ye it would be loud, im sure aminals wouldn't care though

That’s awesome!
