10. The farmer I'm ordering from

charges $4/lb. and I'm happy to pay it to him. Farming like that is very hard work, year round no matter the weather, or how tired or sore you are. No matter what's going on and you can't leave it for nice vacations. I relaly appreciate the hard work he and his family do, they've earned it. Just maintaining a garden and small flock of chickens wears me out sometimes and it isn't all that difficult.

People forget and many don't know that they have paid that much anyway via their taxes supporting subsidies to the large factory farms so that chicken, or whatever, isn't as cheap as it looks.
