this was an interesting thread to read. k3n. I was not raised on a farm, but I have relatives that still do. Although I have never raised a chicken, I would have no problems with butchering and frying one. I would however have to have someone tell me how it is done. LoL!
You are so right about home-grown animals and eggs tasting much better than the store bought. We have friends that raise animals and we buy meat from them sometimes. There is nothing better than farm fresh eggs either. I go over to my buddy connie's and buy her brown eggs once in a while. Oh my they are so good!
There is a lady at my church that makes homemade goat cheese. Wowie!
Do you make soft cheese?
