Many of you have noticed this recent trend towards growing your own food. I am delightfully in the thick of this, having created a delectable organic garden. The newest addition is our recent acquisition - three lovely chickens. Cochin Bantams make great pets, as they are smaller than other chickens. For lunch and dinner, I visit my garden, pick some fresh vegetables. Soon, I will be able to wander over to see if any of the hens have laid new eggs (we have a few months yet). I am told that the eggs taste better from “home-raised” chickens. I like to feed them a mix of flax, chia, and sesame seeds with a bit of grated coconut. Imagine, like your children, knowing what they are eating, and having some control over this. What they ingest is what we ingest (please re-read this several times). Remember the saying, you are what you eat (and what you rub on your skin as well, of course, as we are porous)!
