I went out to Livingston Farmer’s Market last night. I happily live in Jackson but was ready for a change of scenery. This is the third year for the farmer’s market and every time I go there is something different. I met old and new friends, but my favorite new friends were the chickens on the new little farm. So far there is a large vegetable garden, some little piggies destined to be someone’s dinner (though I’m not sure if they’ll make it to the dinner table–everyone is getting attached), and these chickens. The eggs are for sale and I was lucky to take some home with me and I had a delicious scrambled egg sandwich for dinner. (Thank you Stephanie and Cameron!)
Have you ever thought about having chickens? Many living places allow it and it seems to be the new thing to do as people tire of big box store consuming and look to find new ways to acquire the staples in life, from farms to markets to local businesses to your own back yard. As Martha would say, It’s a Good Thing.
You can see more photos of Livingston Farmer’s Market on their Facebook Page and see what’s coming up for the rest of the summer.
If you’ve been wondering if you could have chickens in your own back yard, there are many books on the subject. Lemuria usually has several on hand.
