An excerpt from the book
“At one point in her journey away from being a meat eater, my daughter Audrey considered going all the way to veganism, because she understood the treatment of cows and chickens to get eggs and dairy products for human consumption was not much better than industrial meat production. And—I’m not gonna lie—I resisted. I didn’t want to give up eggs—they’re my breakfast almost every day, and we bake a lot, and it would just feel like one less source of protein in an increasingly protein-scarce vegetarian diet. But I wanted to respect her feelings about the treatment of the cows and the chickens.
So I did some research on egg producers in our area and found a local co-op that sells eggs from a few local farmers who have small flocks and harvest eggs from happy chickens with plenty of grass and sunshine and room to run. We now get our eggs each week from Farmer Gavin, a teenager working with his family to treat the chickens ethically. The chickens live in mobile coops with regular access to fresh grass and long runs featuring slides and swings.
Thank God for the Farmer Gavins in this world. I now pay $5.60 per dozen, instead of $3.00 or so for conventional eggs at the grocery store, but my family feels a lot better knowing the chickens that produced our breakfast are leading good little chicken lives.”
