We recently got our meat bird chicks, and want to throw an opportunity out for those struggling financially in our community.
When the birds are ready to butcher, probably the middle of august, we are looking for 3-4 people to help with the butchering process. Each person will take 5 chickens home with them to feed their families.
We realize the economy is rocky and many are struggling with higher food and fuel costs. Our concern is that this economic issue could be different than most as less than 1% of our population is involved in food production, where during the Great Depression 30-40% of the population was involved in food production. The corporations will not care about you, but community works together through hardships and we want to help build community, local food production and life skills as things get tougher. As Jesus said “For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’ “He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’”
Matthew 25:35-36, 45 NIV
If you are interested in helping or would like to reserve some chickens as we will likely have some extras, let us know! Must have a strong stomach and a willingness to learn.
