Farm Closure= Woe!

My beloved Soul Food Farm, source of delicious fresh eggs and stewing hens and super yummy fryers/roasters and the occasional sweet little black kitten is having financial problems and will close down in September. So I need to stock up (on chickens and eggs,  I am fully stocked on cats). Might be time to go vegetarian when I run out of chickens. I do have another source for fresh eggs, but it's going to be tough to match that quality of chicken.

I'm bummed for them, they're really nice people and they've worked so hard on the farm. They are just getting squeezed by rising chicken feed costs, mostly, and they don't want to raise their own prices too much. I hope that they'll be able to keep the farm and I'll be able to buy something from them in the future - lavender or olive oil or whatever works out.
