DONALD LINK FROM A TASTE OF PLACE COMES TO VISIT!

What a treat to have a long visit with Donald Link and his crew, filming our farm and daily chores while discussing agricultural philosophy and good food!

I put Donald through the paces of feeding, collecting eggs and filling feed buckets... well, actually, he accompanied me while I did chores and we talked and talked. It was a comfortable experience and I was pleased to have a chance to discuss my favorite topic~ why we raise the Freedom Ranger broilers that we do! I sent him back to Austin with one of our broilers for him to cook... and was thrilled that he loved it!

He also gave us a copy of his wonderful cookbook "Real Cajun", in which his easy-going and place-loving spirit really shines through~ it's beautiful and an inspiration.

Here's Donald- second from left- along with most of the sound and film crew that came along.

 

"Fresh!" Ideas About Food Production

If you haven't seen the movie Fresh! you should. Food, Inc. gave us a sobering view of where our food comes from and the challenges that farmers are facing in their efforts to make a living for themselves, especially if they're also trying not to follow the industrial agriculture direction.

What Fresh! does, is go further in offering us hope by showing us a variety of alternatives being actively and currently pursued in our country. While I don't agree with everything that those featured in the movie have to say, I am thrilled to see such promising endeavors to provide healthy humane sustainable food.

If you live in central Texas, or feel like traveling our way for an evening of entertainment, come to Elgin and see for yourself... it'll be a fine time! Hope to see you there.
