My family has been eating healthier lately. Through the pursuit of my wife, we are purchasing and using more organic foods, significantly reducing our intake of high fructose corn syrup and other sweeteners from our diets and taking other steps to eat smarter.
We have a friend we’ve made recently that owns and operates his family farm, that’s been handed down through seven generations of his forefathers. I spoke with him in detail yesterday after church and I’m excited and interested in his efforts for doing something a bit different in the world of farming compared to what’s been the model for the recent past.
Darby is going back to the history of connecting with the land and raising livestock on that land in a very sustainable and healthy method. In his words, his pursuit of farming is a very spiritual endeavor and a reconnection of the history of humans being connected to their food and taking care of what’s been entrusted to them in these efforts.
Our farm is a 7th generation family heirloom in which we take great pride. Settled in 1828, we are now in the process of transitioning this land once again into a sustainable family economy using methods and practices that allow us to produce truly “authentic food”. In 2007, we began in earnest by producing pastured poultry, and in 2008 we added pastured pork to our operation. In 2009, we offered grass-fed beef for the first time and 2010 has already seen us add a small egg laying flock as well ramp up our poultry and pork quantities to meet the growing demand for our high quality meats.
If you want well-cared for, great tasting poultry, you should visit the Simpson Family Farm website and learn more about how Darby does farming and also find out where you can purchase the fruits of his efforts.
With the current economy, I’m not sure how many of us will get to see one of these in real-life when it’s released by the US Treasury in 2011. There’s a new C-note coming out of the presses and it’s got a load of new security features. Here’s a video preview of what you can expect.
Some people love it and some people hate it. I think it’s cool, just wonder how much it costs to produce bills with this kind of technology. Is it really worth the investment?
