It's easy to feel glum about how
factory farms treat the animals we use to make produce but Saturday's rural routes trip was an inspiring experience.
We arrived to
San Barr farm in sustainable style, as usual, on a stretch bus
provided by Hamilton Street Rail. Upon arrival long horn farmers Josh and
Jordan greeted our group and educated us on the intricate details of their
trade.
Texas
Longhorn Cattle are a magnificent species which produce the leanest beef you
can find. San Barr's stock is clearly happy and healthy and many of us
purchased their heart healthy ground beef which they sell at $5 per Lb.
From
San Barr our group walked over to the Boar and Chick Farm next door where we
got to see a wide variety of ethically raised farm animals including: pigs,
chickens, cows, horses and sheep!
