]]> Comment on Green Acres Farm by Ang Jordan http://www.gulfcoastlocalfood.org/2011/11/green-acres-farm/comment-page-1/#comment-160085 Ang Jordan Mon, 25 Feb 2013 12:38:01 +0000 http://www.gulfcoastlocalfood.org/?p=771#comment-160085 Hi Barbara,

On February 18, they posted that “Grass Fed Ground Beef and Pasture Raised Pork Sausage will be available in March. We’ll bring it to the Palafox Market. Pasture Raised Chickens will be ready in the end of April and the end of May. We’ll get the order forms out for the chickens in a couple weeks.”

The chickens are not sold with giblets but I’m pretty sure you can ask and get as much as you want. I don’t know if there’s an additional charge for that.

I don’t get to the Palafox Market regularly, but sometimes I’ll plan a special trip over there or try to get there if we’re going to the beach that day.

Weren’t you a regular at the Saturday morning Pensacola Farmer’s Market last year?
2. When can we get chickens and do they have giblets?

Did you ever identify what these were and the cure?

]]> Comment on Alabama Organic Farming Conference by Jan Garrett http://www.gulfcoastlocalfood.org/2011/09/alabama-organic-farming-conference/comment-page-1/#comment-16521 Jan Garrett Mon, 03 Sep 2012 13:31:16 +0000 http://www.gulfcoastlocalfood.org/?p=720#comment-16521 Visit the website: http://www.alabamaorganics.net for information on organic production and consumption in Alabama. I am just getting it up and running but plan to list and map certified organic growers in AL. You can also find organic farmers in your area on the Local Harvest website. I agree with Will, when the people of AL start demanding locally grown organic produce, it will be grown. Right now people are most interested in locally grown and are not willing to pay extra for organic. Organic costs more to produce: seeds cost more and must be shipped in so there are also freight costs, it takes more labor: instead of spraying chemicals on the fence line, for example, the weeds must be hand removed, etc. More crop is lost to insects and disease. It does not cost a farmer much to become certified because the State reimburses most of the cost. Most farmers who are not certified cut costs by using synthetic fertilizers and/or herbicides. Check out the blog: alabamaorganics.blogspot.com for a post called “making the case for using organic seed” where I talk about the dangers of using seeds treated with systemic pesticides.
