While we have not been posting frequently, we have been changing our food buying habits.
I have been concerned about the food we eat for a while, especially after viewing what most young children eat as "food"...My midwives encouraged me during my pregnancy towards healthy eating habit and to consider the source of where my food came from and question mystery ingredients. Becca, my sister in law, has always encouraged me to eat healthy nutrient rich food, and Nat and Josh have recently been eating until they were just 80% full (whatever that means:)
but after watching "Food, Inc.", "The Future of Food" and Jamie Oliver's "Food Revolution", along with reading parts of "Skinny B*tch" I finally decided it was time to make a change.
I started looking into local farmer, and was very pleased to discover that we live in an area rich in local farmers raising healthy produce and grass raised animals. I found one farm just a few miles south of Tualatin that shaped it farm after Joal Salatin and Polyface farms (the good farmer in Food Inc). He raised grass fed beef, chicken, turkey, eggs, and pigs, and his sister has two lovely milking jersey cow which she produces and sells raw milk (DEE-lish!). They were very friendly and happy to show me around their farms, and I am now a loyal customer!
The name of our farm is Full of Life Farms, they are a great family and Hiro loves visiting the farm! He especially loves our milking cow, Josey!
