They sought out other organic foods such as free range chicken and duck eggs and we fished and crabbed from unpolluted waters. My parents had a huge circle of friends and some of them were hunters who shared their bounty of venison and quail. We grew up eating quite healthy foods. I just love your site and your sister site as well. The photos are so vivid and appealing!<br />1Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5516640779273738951.post-39897588530452948032010-12-03T07:44:59.929-08:002010-12-03T07:44:59.929-08:00We grow them also.
