    We were buying feed, but we are working on a formula for a mash-feed based off grain and grass we grow. I know it is just an example of the larger problem you mentioned we are all living through, but all of us can refuse to partake by buying second hand and growing what we can ourselves. Small animals are a very effective source of protein and don’t have nearly the same carbon footprint that beef or pork has. Just here to offer a different perspective on the issue we both see/acknowledge.

    Respectfully thats a terrifying stat, as someone with a passionate dislike of cities!

    Yeah my birds freerange. My land was cheap enough I think most people who rent in a major city could afford it without much issue.

    We farm vegetables too, but besides the butchering aspect the chicken farming is honestly easier to automate, set and forget.

    I feel like a goal may be to teach people how to get back in touch with more natural, unchanged land, and how to live in sync with it, instead of making more people reliant on urbanization and manmade supply chains. My little local community may not be as efficient or provide as much output as a suburb or city block, but we have displaced less local fauna and help each other with maintaining what we have instead of buying new products. Its a different way of looking at things, but it is rewarding in its own right.





  • You made me chuckle! I was raised on open source by a software engineer. I was using gimp on Ubuntu when I was 7 or 8 years old. I understand your sentiment completely, but you need to understand that time is money, and if something like layer blending takes even a few more clicks in gimp than photoshop, it is not ready to compete. Of course, you can think whatever you want about software you don’t rely on for a living. The rest of the world will smile and move on with reality.
