Some people ask, “How can you eat the animals you raise?”
Truth is, we eat meat. It’s important to us that our meat is humanely raised. That’s why we chose to start raising our own and sharing it with our community. It’s not always easy, but it’s worth it.
As a way to honor the animals that we choose to eat, when their time comes, we read this passage from
The Prophet, by Kahlil Gibran.
On eating and drinking
Then an old man, a keeper of an inn, said, Speak to us of Eating and Drinking.
And he said:
Would that you could live on the fragrance of the earth, and like an air plant be sustained by the light.
But since you must kill to eat, and rob the newly born of its mother’s milk to quench your thirst, let it then be an act of worship.
And let your board stand an altar on which the pure and the innocent of forest and plain are sacrificed for that which is purer and still more innocent in man.
When you kill a beast say to him in your heart,
“By the same power that slays you, I too am slain; and I too shall be consumed.
For the law that delivered you into my hand shall deliver me into a mightier hand.
Your blood and my blood is naught but the sap that feeds the tree of heaven.”
The eyes and ears of the farm. Fiona makes sure that we are all doing our jobs.
She makes sure the animals have food and water, but Lyndsey’s favorite job is to make sure the animals get enough cuddles and love while they are with us.
When she isn’t hanging out with Biggie, Bekah is making sure that all the things are dialed in behind the scenes.
