UNBELIEVABLE!

You absolutely MUST watch this video below.  Can you believe that a 6 year old doesn't know what a tomato is?  Or a Potato?  Or an eggplant, beet or cauliflower?  Shocking, yes?  Well the truth is, that we live in a world that is absolutely manufactured.  From entertainment to our politics to even our food, we are living manufactured lives.  People wonder why we are doing what we are doing.  How can we not, when kids are starving, literally starving!  Sure, they are getting calories, but nutrients?  Vitamins, minerals, enzymes, amino acids, fatty acids?  No, you get that from fresh food. Kids these days have no idea what food is..,heck, neither do adults for that matter, and that is scary!



Someone told me the other day that people get grossed out over free-range eggs because the chickens eat bugs.  Really?  Are you kidding me?  That's what they are supposed to eat!  Someone told me just yesterday at the Farmers Market that someone, regarding organic food, said "I would rather eat chemicals than something that a bug crawled on!"  Joel Salatin, in this book "Folks, This Ain't Normal" tells the story of how many people have no clue how to break down a chicken.  I thought he may be exaggerating until I actually spoke to someone recently about this very thing recently.  Chemicals over natural food?  A GMO shiny red tomato laden with pesticides over a pure tomato that may be a little misshapen?  An egg that has been raised in a commercial agricultural facility that treats their chicken in-humanely while causing them to live in disease infested warehouses where they are so close together that they go stir crazy and try to peck each-other to death, rather than an egg from a chicken that runs free on the land?  What is wrong with our world today?  How could I not provide local, pure, wholesome food to the local community?



I don't want to make this long, but the very sad reality is that the majority of people in this world no longer know where their food comes from besides "the grocery store."  Watch the clip below...

So What is "Ahavah" Anyway?

Image
As most of you know, the name of our farm, "Ahavah," means "Love," but that's the English translation.  So what does "Ahavah" actually mean and why did we name our farm this? One of the coolest things about the Hebrew language is that every letter has meaning.  The words themselves are the descriptors. Look up the word "Love" in the English dictionary and you will find something similar to this: "a  (1)   :  strong affection for another arising out of kinship or personal ties  maternal  love  for a child   ( 2 )   :  attraction based on sexual desire  :  affection and tenderness felt by lovers  After all these years, they are still very much in  love .   ( 3 )   :  affection based on admiration, benevolence, or common interests: love  for his old schoolmates b   :  an assurance of affection : give her my  love"  (Mi...

The REAL Cost of Free-Range, Soy-Free, Organic Chicken Eggs

Image
When you don't get government handouts, don't force-molt your hens, don't keep your hens in battery cages, don't mess with the hen's natural laying cycle by not using lights in the winter etc., but feed the  hens pure, organic feed while allowing them to roam the land free as a bird (pun intended), the real cost for eggs is much higher than you would expect.  According to David Robinson Simon, author of "Meatonomics" (2013), the real cost of organic eggs should be $13.00!   Our eggs? They are $7.00 per dozen, here's why... Here's our own personal math for the cost of our eggs: Cost of feed per week per hen...........$0.86 (2.1 lb per week X $0.41) Eggs laid per week per hen..................2.96 (% productivity X 52 Weeks) Number of hens to make a dozen...... 4.054 Cost of feed per dozen eggs...............$3.48  Cost of egg carton..............................$0.33 Cost of Labels (2)...............................$0.30 Cost of utiliti...
