Farm has been targeted over its owners personal social media posts. Once a popular spot for public school kids in California to visit colonial era communities and watch historic war re-enactments, the farm is now suing over First Amendment retaliation after a teacher posted Jim Riley's personal views about politics, leading to many schools canceling their trips.

I used to be one of those people who thought goats will eat anything. But actually, itās chickens who are the true garbage disposals. Now, when we cook something, I am regularly researching if chickens can eat the waste that we would normally throw away. In this case, we were peeling shrimp, and the light bulb went off. Maybe they would eat the shells? Turns out, not only will they eat the shells, but the shrimp shells are quite good for chickens! In fact, they are full of calcium to help the chickens lay eggs with hard shells.
Carla the chicken joined us for spaghetti dinner and I was shocked by how much she liked it. I looked it up and apparently spaghetti is a chicken favorite. Carla is technically not allowed at the dinner table so donāt tell Lynn. š¤«
Trumpās executive order protecting glyphosate (which RFK Jr supports) is such a perfect example of how the American political system works, and one of the main reasons I became a farmer. Bayer (which acquired Monsanto in 2018) is getting sued into oblivion over claims glyphosate causes cancer, to the extent theyāre paying out billions in losses and facing the real possibility of going bankrupt. Then all of a sudden, states like Georgia pass laws protecting glyphosate manufacturers from liability and the President passes a similar executive order in the name of national defense. Is this timing a coincidence? The big corporations in this country have direct influence on politicians in a way the average American can never compete - that is, unless we leave their system. We must go direct with farmers who use the kind of methods we want for our dinner. Even if we ban glyphosate, there are plenty of worse (yes, hard to believe!) chemicals waiting to take its place. There is no way out ...
