RE: We Give Away Free Organic Produce & Yesterday We Received A Beautiful Surprise!
What great neighbors, and what a great thing you're doing. All that fresh heritage produce.
I worked with a man in his 70s who was eating a salad in the break room one day. He said, "You know, I remember when food used to taste good..."
We have a 1950s well - the type you can climb in to. It's often low and muddy, and far closer to the cesspool than modern code permits. When the water started turning brown we stopped drinking it. We've been carting in drinking water from a public well several towns over. It really made me appreciate the value of drinking water.
Ooh yes, how sad the times are now, I cannot believe the difference in taste of our own homegrown, compared to the store. Some shit from the store actually burns my tongue when I eat it! Ewwwww
So sorry to hear that your well "crapped" out! That's terrible! Yeah, trucking in water would be so annoying, and even a bit scary if there ever were a shortage...
I think the water is mostly okay and the brown is from mud and rusty pipes. But still, it looks too gross to drink!
Enjoy your home-grown produce and those eggs with the bright orange yolks!
Come to think of it - do those factory chickens you rescued start laying proper eggs once you get them on a proper diet? Or do they stay the pale yellow of grocery store eggs?
Yes, good question. Within about a month the started getting brighter yolks! When we changed their diet at first they stopped laying altogether. Then the magic happened. They love eating weeds, fresh greens, any other little treats my kids leave on their plates haha, and of course real layer food, not the creepy shit they were fed in the factory.
It's good you still have a source of water there, in a tough time, you could always distill it I guess eh?
That's so great that their rehabilitation actually affected the eggs they produce.
yes, perhaps the sunlight helps too?
Oh, and being able to move....
