What do you have on your microfarm? I plan on getting three chickens this year. I wish I could get more animals but I live in a neighborhood. I am streching just getting the chickens because they are not allowed but my neighbors behind me and to my left don't mind and I don't care what the guy to the right of me thinks. He just complains all the time.
I have thought of buying organic food, but in the past it has not been well contolled. It used to be that companies would call food organic and it would just be dirty. I don't know of the regulations have gotten better.
