The LocalHarvest Blog

Welcome back to the LocalHarvest newsletter.

"You're doing what?" my sister asked, not even trying to keep the horror out of her voice as I told her our weekend plans.

"We're going to learn how to butcher chickens," I said.

"Auggh. WHY?"

That is the question, and one I'm still answering a week after the experience. Because a farm near us was offering a class. Because it seems like a skill worth having. Because we eat meat.

This month I write about my afternoon at the chicken processing class, why farms are beginning to offer this kind of event, and why people like me are signing up. Also in this issue, we unveil the CSA management software Guillermo has spent approximately 7,492 hours perfecting. And finally, in honor of the long awaited blueberry season, we submit "Ellen's Blueberry Concoction" for your consideration.

As always, take good care and eat well,
Erin
