We want food to be produced in cleaner, healthier ways. We think that farms should not be factories. We believe so much we now have 4 chickens in our backyard.
And this is how that happened:
It was 7 am, and the conversation was quick.
“Maggie, do you want to get chickens for our backyard.” asks Pete.
Maggie replies politely, “That’s a good idea.”
I work from home, and so when Dr. Maggie Garvin came home from practicing Naturopathic medicine at On Being Well – there were 4 baby chicks sitting on our kitchen counter.
“I thought you understood that I was planning on talking about getting chickens. Not actually agreeing to them.”
But she agreed that I am unusually good to my word. And when I say will do something, I do.
Thus, we began our chicken raising career. Our four birds are grown and dropping one egg a day living happily in our suburban backyard.
