In addition to buying a summer share from our local organic growers coop, planting a large garden at home, working at home or an office less than 1 mile from home, having my son ride his bike or bus where he needs to go, we recently adopted 10 baby chicks. We are having fun designing a chicken tractor (or Ark in Europe) and are inviting neighbors to share in the care and bounty of these adorable creatures. We scrounge for free building materials and research best practices on the internet. My family is committed to not eating anything that isn’t raised, harvested or grown within 100 miles of home (considered a short distance in Montana). We are raising our own free range, completely grass fed beef cattle with friends who have land and will trade some for other meats we desire. Next I want to tackle cheese making - it’s so much fun learning to live this way - Sushi is off the menu forever.
