My Organic Journey - Bringing Home the Bacon

Saturday was thrilling. We drove out to Fenwood Farm and I think I smiled from ear to ear the whole time; It's rare that I get my husband out of his office due to school. Between that and bringing my son to a real farm for the first time was spectacular. We arrive to see a few couples leaving and pulled up outside a fenced area with 6 emus. One we thought was doing his morning prayer ritual only to see him get up and see two doing a kind of ritual. My son's first romantic encounter. The driveway was lined with trees and had to be 2 miles long. It was quite romantic. They also have large fields on either side for corn. We pulled up to a house where on the side was the store. inside was small but they had maybe 5 deep freezers and a sliding wall fridge with all kinds of different meats and cuts. To my surprise with every purchase they give you a bag of organic chicken bones for free. Saves at least 10 bucks and homemade chicken stock is the best. So far, I've made turkey sandwiches for anyone who wants and broccoli leek soup out of the homemade stock. At present I have the bones of a 20 pound turkey stewing for turkey stock. None of which I contemplate my demise while enjoying every bite. My goal is to make a few dishes. One I plan is a buckwheat pasta turkey salad and of course some homemade turkey soup. As the title says, I also bought organic bacon and breakfast sausage which I'll use when the urge takes me there. I'm sure it will be in the company of my wonderful family and probably some friends. I look forward to telling you more about my organic journey.
