I get the farm fresh, or farm market, or grass fed, or what have
you, type of marketing. It ebbs and flows in popularity, and I
like it.

But I don't see how it is different as far as 'sustainable' one
way or the other?

I'm certainly not against it. Just don't get how one way of
farming is more sustainable than the other somehow.

Its like advertising some meat or gain as 'chemical free'. Well.
Everything is made of chemicals, including the most purest
organic pork...... It seems to be some sort of false advertising.

Again, most certainly not opposed to it, its the cool hands on
segment of farming, should be more of it!

But - then we get into these buzz words of sustainable or
chemical free, and it kinda makes a person mad, when it is
clearly such false advertising. Unfortunately.

If you haul a pig to town, you need to either haul that same
amount of nutrient back to your farm, or you need to rob your
soil of the nutrients you hauled away.

Just like any conventional farmer. Got to be one way or
another.

Nothing especially sustainable one way over the other? If you
need to haul in manure to keep your farm in good shape,
where does that manure come from? You are robbing
someone. If you use fish broth or kelp, it has to come from
somewhere - you take away from someone else. That is no
more sustainable than hauling in commercial fertilizer to keep
your soil healthy and well for decades to come......

Again, I'm for what it is you are doing. Not against te market
farms at all, wish there were more!

Just don't care for the false advertising is all.

Paul
