Was at the Giant this morning and couldn't help but shake my head and think #Bareshelvesbiden is really going to stick.

Felt like I was at a poorly run convenience store. Except it wasn't a convenience store it was my country.

The poorly run part is right on the money.

I don't blame Biden for the pandemic. Act of god and all that. But these people are focused on shit no one cares about and not even getting that right. So tone deaf. And patting themselves on the back for sucking at their jobs.

It's been going on for sometime. Just don't tell a democrat about it, they'll tell you their local stores are fully stocked.

Sure. They all live in the most affluent areas of the country and shop at Whole Foods.

Folks better start networking with their local farmers.

I'm jealous. I had 20 chickens but I'm down to 7. Need to start on the venison. Plenty of deer on my property. Trying to talk the Mrs. into getting a couple goats for milk and cheese but it's an uphill battle.

Do you have meat birds and layers or just one or the other? Right now I just have layers.

Just layers. But when they slow down …dinner! Lol. We keep Rhode Island Reds. Thinking of getting some fryers this spring.

Goat milk is a tough sell. Kinda like butter milk. Lol.

Already on it. The folks we buy meat from are becoming good friends and our kids play together. My wife loves gardening so I'm ahead of most but not quite fully where we want to be.

There are several family butchers in easy driving distance from Baltimore. I recommend patronizing them, as they raise and butcher their own cattle.
My trip to Giant in Abingdon last night was a ridiculous waste of time, as 75% of the meat department was empty, and there wasn't a single egg to be found in the dairy section.

Yup. This is why me and the Mrs moved to a farm. Stores down here in De and Md are raped. People waiting for the guys to put shit out and snatch it. Crazy.

Find yourself a good butcher fellas. Might wanna start a Victory Garden this spring too. Learn how to can. Shits only gonna get worse.
