Why organic? Twice as much work, great produce, but not “pretty”.

When you ask Russ Chester of Garden Spirit Farm that question he’ll tell you about worms. Or the lack thereof.

Then you’ll learn about the difference between live dirt, and a place where there are no worms, bugs, bees, butterflys or birds until they went organic. Even then it took four to five years until they started showing up again.

Now the chickens have plenty of work to do, on daily pest control foray’s and dodging foxes. Oh, and laying eggs. Really bright yellow yolks, but you already knew that happy hens lay happy eggs.
