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"  (Miriam Webster) So for many of you, when we say, "Ahavah means l

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
