Consumers Need To Organize and Prioritize

Two Goats Milking At Briden Farm

We are often asked about selling milk, dairy, pork, eggs, and other farm products. 

Joel Salatin has a Book entitled “Everything I want to do is Illegal” 

Unfortunately that is true of about everyone brave, or crazy enough to run a homestead, or farm, or homesteading farm, these days! 

Many Homesteaders and Farmers do what they can. Some strictly trying to adhere to obscure, difficult to understand and interpret Government Regulations while others try to fly under the radar. Either way it is very counterproductive. 

Sadly, these would be Providers accomplish little when it comes to influencing Government and They find it difficult to meet consumer demands and sully those needs. So, it’s been on my mind for sometime that we may be putting the cart before the horse! 

What if, instead of a handful of small Homesteads operators and small scale Farmers seeking change, the Consumers acted instead. First of all, the Consumer base is 10 to 100, perhaps even 1000, times larger than the would be providers. So, that means that instead of a small handful of Homesteaders and Small Scale Farmers trying to influence Government, a larger more concerning number of Voters would be more noticeable! Political Power comes in numbers!

Head Cheese at Briden Farm

Pork Terrine

You know, The Head Cheese At Briden Farm, is totally different than the Cheese Head at Briden Farm… and I should know! (Chuckle) 

Now, if You ask people if they like Head Cheese they probably make a funny face and their eyes roll back in their Heads! Most people are turned off by the name! Thus Head Cheese gets a bad wrap! 

Now, for just a moment, imagine that we’ve not mentioned Head Cheese! Imagine the Title is Pork Terrine At Briden Farm. 

Now, that would have a totally different flavour wouldn’t it! Right? 

Delighted Cooking describes Head cheese as “not actually cheese, but a jellied meat dish … which typically takes the form of a large sausage and is served sliced as a cold cut. Alternatively, it may be made in a mold or pan and served as a terrine” which is described as “a French meat loaf dish made with ground or finely chopped meat and served at room temperature”. 

Now that’s something you can sink your teeth into! Right? 

Thanks to our friend Karen, so can We! Right here at Briden Farm! If You’d like to try it, come visit! 

Or… if you’re really adventurous…

Farm Grown Breakfast

There’s nothing quite like having a breakfast, or other meal, that is grown or raised on the Farm! Not everything we eat here is grown or raised here, but we’re getting to a point that nearly every meal has something from here! We have our own milk, sometimes we make cheese, we have eggs, chicken, bacon, sausage, pork, fruits, berries, vegetables, and even some herbal teas! It’s so rewarding! Come visit us at Briden Farm, where the tea is always on and the Coffee is not far behind! Friends and Family Always Welcome!
