Hi, I finally got a chance to get on here after my approval.
I found you guys when I did a search for forums that discussed Nourishing Traditions. I've recently purchased the book and have been reading it. It makes a WHOLE LOT of sense to me.
It's not going to be easy for me in incorporate a lot of what I'm learning because I live in NJ. They don't allow the sale of raw milk. Also, there is a time issue and a money issue. I know a farmer where I used to get my meat from, but money is still tight from a job loss about 4 years ago. That job loss pretty much wiped out my stores. I have a new job now, but with a major pay cut from what I was making.
On the upside, I have my own chickens. The only problem is that I'm not allowed to have them in my backyard (I hate living in town ) so I have them on a friend's farm. She will not kill anything for food, but I and another friend went someplace to learn how to process chickens. I did my first a couple weeks ago . . . I cried, but I did it.
Hope to get to know you all!
