Most small farms fail because they never get big enough.

They do all the things, raise all the animals - the cows, the pigs, the chickens, the eggs, the honey, the lamb, the ducks. None of it at any scale capable of paying for the equipment and the labour to make it all work.

In business, it’s called the swamp - too big to do it all yourself, but too small to get help. And that’s where most small farms die.

Right now, we’re deep in the swamp. But we’re fighting for the exit. Today was a huge step towards getting out of the swamp and we couldn’t be happier (or more exhausted).

Talking chicken processing and chlorine use.

It’s hardly a black or white answer. Tap water is chlorinated. So understanding the factors that actually drive exposure is essential if you want to make better choices and ask better questions.

Here’s what I’ve learned about processing chickens, chlorine use and exposure as someone who started a farm because they couldn’t find food they could trust.

Watch until the end if you want to know exactly how our chickens are processed.

And for those of you feeling anxious about this topic - I feel you. I’ve been there. Don’t let perfection get in the way of good.
We live in a time where it’s basically impossible to completely eliminate exposure to toxic chemicals in our lives - from microplastics to PFAS, from endocrine disrupting chemicals in our clothes to chemical residues in our food and water. Perfection doesn’t exist - but you can easily make better choices.

And remember: how a chicken was raised is at least as important as how it is processed. Good processing won’t undo a life in a shed.

We bought a truck! 🚛

Truth is, we should’ve done it ages ago. But we’ve kept our little mobile freezer room alive far longer than we should have - and it’s never let us down. It’s had a hard life doing high kms on terrible roads. We’ve broken axles (yes multiple) and countless bearings but it got us through the first few years as we worked this farming thing out.

In its retirement, it has become our main stationary storage and we made sure to get a truck that can be plugged in to mains power - for those times we bring home a little more meat than the trailer can handle.

Major purchases like this are always scary for a tiny bootstrapped business like ours; But this one’s a huge milestone for us on our path of building a successful working farm from scratch.
