08 Apr 09 Grass Fed Beef In Charleston
This just in from River Run Farms…
Spring is here and with it comes green grass, fat cows, and farmers markets, at least for us. We hope this note finds you all well and we just wanted to let you know our market schedule. On Saturdays, we’ll be back in downtown Charleston at Marion Square beginning this weekend April 11th, 8AM-2PM. On Tuesdays beginning May 12th, we’ll be in Mt. Pleasant on Coleman Blvd. from 3PM till dusk. And new this year, we’ll be at Daniel Island on Thursday afternoons beginning April 30th from 3PM till dusk. We do so look forward to seeing our market friends again.
Incubator Farm
Carolina Farm Stewardship defines an incubator farm as an educational farm which leases a portion of land to beginning farmers giving them access to equipment and expertise while freeing them from huge start-up debts. It’s a type of mentoring program to encourage new farmers who have lots of desire, but not a lot of capital. Les and I are pleased to announce that we’ll be doing just that with a group of three young men calling themselves the “Lucky Cluck Co-op.” They will be producing pastured poultry on our farm beginning this Spring. Our cows will keep the grass at the right height and vegetative state not to mention providing lots of bug larvae to scratch away at. The chickens, in turn, will fertilize the grass for the cows. It will be that symbiosis we so strive for in a sustainable system. We’ll be offering support, but it will definitely be these guys: Michael, Justin, and Nathan’s enterprise. They hope to have products for sale by June. If you want to offer encouragement you can reach them at luckycluck@gmail.com.

06 Jun 08 Why Did The Chicken Cross The Road
BARACK OBAMA: The chicken crossed the road because it was time for a CHANGE! The chicken wanted CHANGE!
JOHN MC CAIN: My friends, that chicken crossed the road because he recognized the need to engage in cooperation and dialogue with all the chickens on the other side of the road.
HILLARY CLINTON: When I was First Lady, I personally helped that little chicken to cross the road. This experience makes me uniquely qualified to ensure — right from Day One! — that every chicken in this country gets the chance it deserves to cross the road. But then, this really isn’t about me…….
DR. PHIL: The problem we have here is that this chicken won’t realize that he must first deal with the problem on ‘THIS’ side of the road before it goes after the problem on the ‘OTHER SIDE’ of the road. What we need to do is help him realize how stupid he’s acting by not taking on his ‘CURRENT’ problems before adding ‘NEW’ problems.
OPRAH: Well, I understand that the chicken is having problems, which is why he wants to cross this road so bad. So instead of having the chicken learn from his mistakes and take falls, which is a part of life, I’m going to give this chicken a car so that he can just drive across the road and not live his life like the rest of the chickens.
GEORGE W. BUSH: We don’t really care why the chicken crossed the road. We just want to know if the chicken is on our side of the road, or not. The chicken is either against us, or for us. There is no middle ground here.
COLIN POWELL: Now to the left of the screen, you can clearly see the satellite image of the chicken crossing the road…
ANDERSON COOPER – CNN: We have reason to believe there is a chicken, but we have not yet been allowed to have access to the other side of the road.
BILL O’REILLY: It must be a leftie, that’s why it’s on the other side. I can’t be certain, as I won’t have it on my show, as it’s already been tainted by appearing on CNN.
JOHN KERRY: Although I voted to let the chicken cross the road, I am now against it! It was the wrong road to cross, and I was misled about the chicken’s intentions. I am not for it now, and will remain against it.
NANCY GRACE: That chicken crossed the road because he’s GUILTY! You can see it in his eyes and the way he walks.
PAT BUCHANAN: To steal the job of a decent, hardworking American.
MARTHA STEWART: No one called me to warn me which way that chicken was going. I had a standing order at the Farmer’s Market to sell my eggs when the price dropped to a certain level. No little bird gave me any insider information.
DR SEUSS: Did the chicken cross the road? Did he cross it with a toad? Yes, the chicken crossed the road, but why it crossed I’ve not been told.
ERNEST HEMINGWAY: To die in the rain. Alone.
JERRY FALWELL: Because the chicken was gay! Can’t you people see the plain truth?’ That’s why they call it the ‘other side.’ Yes, my friends, that chicken is gay. And if you eat that chicken, you will become gay too. I say we boycott all chickens until we sort out this abomination that the liberal media white washes with seemingly harmless phrases like ‘the other side. That chicken should not be crossing the road. It’s as plain and as simple as that.
GRANDPA: In my day we didn’t ask why the chicken crossed the road. Somebody told us the chicken crossed the road, and that was good enough.
BARBARA WALTERS: Isn’t that interesting? In a few moments, we will be listening to the chicken tell, for the first time, the heart warming story of how it experienced a serious case of molting, and went on to accomplish its life long dream of crossing the road.
ARISTOTLE: It is the nature of chickens to cross the road.
JOHN LENNON: Imagine all the chickens in the world crossing roads together, in peace.
BILL GATES: I have just released eChicken2007, which will not only cross roads, but will lay eggs, file your important documents, and balance your check book. Internet Explorer is an integral part of the Chicken. This new platform is much more stable and will never cra…#@&&^(C% ……… reboot.
ALBERT EINSTEIN: Did the chicken really cross the road, or did the road move beneath the chicken?
BILL CLINTON: I did not cross the road with THAT chicken. What is your definition of chicken?
AL GORE: I invented the chicken!
COLONEL SANDERS: Did I miss one?
DICK CHENEY: Where’s my gun?
AL SHARPTON: Why are all the chickens white? We need some black chickens.
