I am on a mission/ project to provide the best real food for my family. I bought Rosie chickens at sprouts in Plano Texas where I live and really felt good about my choices, even though they were $15.00 chickens. At one point my husband joked around by stating that for that kind of money the thing had better mow his yard or something.

This is certainly disappointing, however I do have a solution. Local Farmers. We live in north central Texas, the Blackland Prarie. Today I did a little searching on the internet for local organic, farms. I cameacross a web-site called http://www.eatwild.com. On this page I was able to locat tons of farms within an hour or two drive from my home. We chose a small local farm and visited their website, where we couldsee dated photos of their chickens, cattle, goats, and pigs. We bought a variety of items from eggs to pork cutletsright from the farm store and spent around $100.00. Truthfully, this wasn’t anymore expensive and I felt so great knowing that thesechickens were foraging on the grounds that I was standing on only days before. The cattle are raised on organic grasses and legumes in rotating pastures. As a writer,Iam working on a project to document and demonstrate ho a large middle class American family on a very fixedincome can find and afford the best foods available right from the source. If you are interested in joining my project, I am looking to interview American families who have decided to make thright eating choices for themselves and their families. You can email me if you are interested in putting your two cents in. My article is scheduled for late fall .
