The grumbling of an organic food farmer

Welcome to the farmers market. How nice the weather was this morning. Look at the beautiful organic broccoli I sold today. I'm not modest enough, but I'll say my broccoli is perfect. A few months ago, I sowed seeds and you saw the seeds of broccoli? These seeds are tiny, almost visible with a microscope. This kind of small seeds not only to squint, with tweezers, growth need to be complemented by special illumination. Speaking of flowers of broccoli seedlings, is really a group need to care little bastard, as delicate as a newborn. In order to check the temperature of the greenhouse seedling cold lest I will climb up, several times every night, so the day lasts for two weeks. The seedlings grow well, to outside the field, the past few years I carefully take care of the land, with dairy farms neighbor smelly pull shit on the soil. The federal government marked my landmark as “ the country's important land ”. This is true. Want to know why we don't spray weed and weed? Because of these important national land “ ” is Lao Tzu every week personally with a hoe over soil, like "prairie house" in Pa Ingalls. In the morning the time Lao Tzu yesterday bent in the ground with a long knife to cut the broccoli. I wash the dishes clean, and then frozen up. This morning, the rooster crow I haven't climbed up, drove the truck to meet you this kind of vegetables to the market in agricultural and economic experts [] demand, you guys just five years ago in Barnes & Noble Michael Pollan (see the bookstore "food company" starring) a cover of the book, and I think it must be a $5 1 tons of cheap books.



You ask me these chickens are not prairie stocking, eating is not grass? Yes, these bad chicken is prairie scattered chicken. But these bad chickens don't grow up. Because chickens are not TMBD ruminants, that's why don't think of me as a mysterious rural cabal disrupting the endocrine system of your urban dwellers. The chicken is omnivorous animal, they also eat also eat cereal occasionally eat small rodents or snakes. You hear those markets flaunt their goods out of the ordinary, are all liars, like that wearing a straw hat shouted “ all this morning pick! ” this guy hasn't picked anything this morning. The only force from the wholesale market to buy these pepper, to label a tear, and then sold to you.



Right, the farmer's market is the wild wild west, wild west does not pay attention to the law.



You asked me to keep the seeds? No, I don't keep the seed. Seed is a gardener will do things, time-consuming and thankless. Yes, I know that Monsanto, because I was a farmer, so I know this is what forced Monsanto, don't tell me. I also know that genetically modified seeds and F1 seeds (hybrid first generation seeds), I also know that you consumers like native local old varieties of vegetables, in fact, these things ugly shit and expensive.



You say Bacon? Bacon is a pig called “ tomato sauce ” pig made, I just like to pig name. Why do you ask for a name? Do you have when farmer's grandfather once told you you secretly spread a “ no TMDB to name the pig ” the secret? How else do I not know? Since you all understand, then please tell me, a real farmer, what should be done, what should not do. These pigs are not my own slaughter, I put them on the trailer, sent to the processing plant. Yes, the 250 pound and barking pig let them to catch up with the slope in the truck to be very difficult. Pigs are very clever. They know where they're going and they're pulling you shit.



What? Do you find it difficult to say emotionally unacceptable? Do you think Lao Tzu feeding farms with no feeding, very humane these pigs, organic pork for those of you who, just because there is no dead pig, I might feel a little guilty?



No, not entirely.
