I sense the nature of the last few entries have achieved a level of morbidness that some find distasteful. While the cold facts are indeed gruesome, options abound to remove your support from the unsavory aspects of large scale agri-business. There are many farms throughout the world where animals, fruits and vegetables are raised or grown in a semi-natural and sustainable condition. These farmers sell their products largely to a local market.

One of our blog visitors early in the challenge posted the website of her local farm. Please visit the site: www.chestnutfarms.org. This is a good example of food grown and consumed locally. Another example of this in southern California is the Inland Empire orange co-op.

I encourage you to search out and support these farmers, and enjoy the taste and textures of fresh, naturally grown foods (including eggs).
