Joy Of Organics

The USDA just proposed letting slaughterhouses run at whatever speed they want. 175 birds per minute for poultry. No cap for pork. The official reason: remove outdated “bottlenecks."

Just think about that . Running a living system at unlimited speed isn't efficient. It's dangerous. Those "bottlenecks" they want to remove? That's the calibration. That's the part where someone actually looks at the animal and decides what it needs. Remove that and you don't have farming anymore. You have a factory.

We know this because our farmers with twenty years of farming have taught them what happens when you try to rush the work. 

Here is a young girl at one of our farms sitting in a stall right now, reading a book next to a horse nobody else wanted. She just showed up. Read books in his stall. Let him come to her.

Natural instinct would be to try to fix him. She just gave him space to not be broken. She sat there all week and kept thinking about how long it took me to figure out the same thing. Slowing down has been a lifelong pursuit, honestly, I'm still not great at it.   

A horse is a flight animal. When you're trying to nail a shoe onto a hoof, that is not the moment to discover you misread the room. A hurried farrier and a nervous horse are a bad combination. Many have been injured and ended up on the ground. Learn to pay attention to your emotions.. To slow down.

That's what The Joy Of Organics asked of me every single day. Not speed. Not scale. Just enough presence to know what the moment needs. Not thousands of pounds of meat and chicken from factory farms in the grocery store. Learning that items don't always come, or are not always available because we support little farms that hold on to the tradition of real farm to table. Le3earning to eat differently, like lower cuts of meat due to cost and availability.

That's the “bottleneck” the USDA and Big Meat want to remove. 

And that's why we're here. Not just to provide food from sustainable farms that raise animals differently, but To plant a flag for a food system that answers to farmers and families instead of shareholders and fight like hell to keep it standing.
