Bee's and chicken ranching in high-density urban areas, on community garden properties? A dozen Canada grade "A" egg are about $2.25. You being a Philosopher, I can understand your reasoning, after all, a century or two ago things were completely different, like "Little House on the Prairie". Sure, children should know where their food comes from, most parents know how to explain where food comes from to their kids, and many local Farmers would show you around, if you asked them nicely. My Uncle was a Dairy Farmer. A Hamilton Councillor is a working Farmer, he advised that urban chicken farming should not take place. He is an expert. I learned where milk comes from, and what is done with the by-products, and where their food comes from, straw and silage. The manure was spread on fields, to nourish the next crop of hay. You get used to the smell pretty fast. You should write your dissertation on this dreamy urban angst that has surfaced in society, a generation nostalgic for the good old days, when chickens clucked and Roosters chimed, a natural alarm clock for a dusk-to-dawn work schedule. Thanks for an interesting read.
