admin — Mon, 14 Jun 2010 23:48:03 +0000

Joel Salatin has more than a few ideas about how food can be grown abundantly without harm. His Polyface Farms is the very definition of carrying capacity. He’s a good example of why, in this post-AnnaNicole world, all my heros are writers, scientists and farmers.

Finca Las Nubes Sustainable Organic Farm living
This totally private farm features hundreds of acres of indigenous forest which are enhanced by our annual planting of thousands of precious hardwood trees. Preservation and reforestation are a priority to creating an abundant future. The wildlife is healthy and protected within it. We have planted fruit orchards with dozens of varieties of citrus, mango, avocado, cashew, banana, papaya, coconut and many other exotic local fruits. We have planted coffee and cocoa. Organic vegetable gardens supply our needs. At the nursery we start from seed and cuttings all manner of fruit, and hardwood trees, ornamental plants and vegetables. We imitate nature, most farmers fight nature. Nature always wins. We make organic soil from worm castings fed from the wood shop shavings, cow and chicken manure and other organic waste. Compost and soil regeneration are key to a healthy farm. We employ mulching, composting and water saving techniques through the use of companion plantings, live and dead barriers, nitrogen fixers, organic fertilizers, organic disease control, biological pest control and plants that attract beneficials. There are chicken and turkey pens for organic eggs and meat. We have herds of cows, pigs and pelibuey (goat/sheep cross) to provide organic milk and beef. We do not intend on dying from eating chemically tainted foods. We have bee hives for honey and pollination. Oxen pull carts to move produce around the farm. Our farm crew is as family to us.
We intend to provide for all our needs. We process all of our timber for construction and our furniture in the wood shop. Our carpenters can produce any imaginable design. They frame our buildings, roof them with incredible tile and make all the cabinets and furniture designs that we can dream up. All hardware and metalwork are fashioned onsite. Almost everything is hand made onsite, butcher, baker, candlestick makerWe have a fantastic construction crew building some beautiful and very permanent buildings.

Warning: disturbing footage. Undercover investigation at Chinos Hallmark/Westland slaughterhouse

admin — Thu, 15 Apr 2010 00:39:13 +0000

The Animal Legal Defense Fund, the Humane Society of the United States, Farm Sanctuary, and the Humane Farming Association filed a motion to intervene in U.S. District Court in Fresno, in a lawsuit being brought by meat industry trade associations attempting to overturn a California law banning the use of sick and disabled animals in the food supply. California law was recently strengthened to protect animals and humans after an HSUS investigation at a Chino slaughterhouse exposed horrific abuse of downed cows—many of whom were destined to become ground beef in the National School Lunch Program.

Watch the video of the undercover investigation at Chinos Hallmark/Westland slaughterhouse to see the abuses of desperately sick and injured animals that the coalition of animal protection organizations are fighting to stop. Warning: disturbing footage of animal abuse. Video provided by HSUS.
