Egg-citing news!

Today I would like to draw attention to the hard-working ladies at Stepping Stones, who even now in the midst of winter are still churning out nuggets of goodness.

I’m talking of course about our chickens:

Bertha, Hay-Hay, Sally-Sparkles, and Mousey.

These lovely girls are providing us with a veritable rainbow of beautiful eggs each day.

Did you know that every morning, our chickens are hand-fed a big breakfast of nutrient-dense, organic weeds, grown and harvested on-site and lovingly served by attentive children, along with regular helpings of kitchen scraps and whatever bugs they can forage while adventuring around the gardens and playground.

We are also working towards an under-roost, deep-litter system to help further increase the amount of delicious creepy crawlies available to break down food waste and provide even more foraging opportunities to our feathered friends, while also keeping them warm during the coldest of nights.

I know for myself that I would much rather eat eggs like these than the hormone-rich, chemical-laced, battery-farmed, food-like-products commonly found at the supermarket. 

On a totally unrelated note, I recently watched a documentary called Into the Weeds, which chronicles the first successful lawsuit against Monsanto Company, for it’s alleged activities to hide information and any health studies that suggest the popular household and commercially used pesticide; Roundup, isn’t as safe as the company, historically, and vigorously claimed.

Even worse, Roundup has been detected in an alarmingly wide range of food products, the very same products that you and I are likely buying from grocery stores across the country.

It was definitely an eye-opening film and well worth a watch. 

Just food for thought...

Until the next time, enjoy the wild places wherever you are,
