Real Food Challenge – Week Four

Now that it has been a month of not eating sugar and eating organic and local meat I can say the sugar is easy but the meat was hard. At the beginning I really thought it would be the other way around! Finding organic meat is not that hard but finding local organic meat is a little harder. When the farmers market opens on April first you can bet I will be there trying to find out where to buy my meat. Also, my sister agreed to buy a cow with us so that should help, just need to save up the money now.

Here is a little recap of my months experiments.
1. We bought chicks! Fresh eggs here we come :)


2. Fermenting.

3. Honey-lemon jelly.

4. French bread.

5. Homemade Yogurt.

    Can I just say that I think I could live off of that bread? It looks SO yummy.

    I am having to break down and spray our fruit trees with pesticide this year. Something has attacked them the past couple of years so that we haven’t gotten any fruit. I tried every pesticide free solution I could come up with, but nothing worked. At least our blueberries grow without any pesticides. Our dog loves to go sit under the blueberry bushes and eat the blueberries.

    Oh the chicks are wonderful! I can’t wait until this year’s batch arrives next week.

    Oh the chicks are great! I so cannot wait until this year’s batch arrives next week. My daughter learned so unbelievably much from her first batch of chickens. I can’t wait to see what she learns this year.

    I wonder if the farmers’ markets around here will have any meat resources. I’d really like to try and get meat from closer to home too.

    Cute chicks!
