For sure, you get what you pay for. If it takes twice as long to get them up to weight, it’s no wonder they bred the chicken of tomorrow for mass consumption. I guess it’s better to feed the masses than have chicken as a luxury food only. But as long as you still have the heritage breeds available, I guess we can have both! What do you raise? Any breed in particular that’s worth looking for to try?
Can’t say I blame them for trying. Selling larger, more robust, and flavourless varieties worked on us with both chicken and tomatoes. The first time I tried a garden tomato was eye-opening. Would love to track down one of the farms selling the old chicken breeds as well, but I hear those are pretty expensive.
And loving it.
What, no “This never happened to the other guy?” for a new face?
Then you’d better be Russian
Doesn’t seem much different than any other type of protest blocking a business, really. Maybe it should be protected as free speech. Adding your PC could be seen as adding your voice.
I think we’d all rather Hitler had remained an artist, no?
Yeah, that’s what I get through the winter, then I grow tomatoes in the summer. But there youbhave to be careful too. Some seeds end up being the same mass produced crap that industrial farms use. I heard years back that a university in Florida had developed a varietal that solved all conventional problems with tomatoes for the big corporate farms but still managed to prioritize the taste. You could apparently order seeds online. Always wanted to try that.
