This is an article that appeared in a recent local publication. While
it doesn't directly pertain to sheep, it does fairly graphically
describe a groundswell of interest in wholesome, nutritious food that is
locally produced. I found it rather stunning, particularly since my
small acreage is located on the outskirts of Portland (where the useless
6.1 acres and modest home across the street from me can be purchased for
a mere $550,000), and I am aiming to enter this market.
The reason for me posting this article is to inspire you, the blackbelly
breeder, to start respecting what you have, what you have the potential
of contributing to the local food chain, and contemplating the reasons
why we keep thinking we should only charge $40 for the best tasting lamb
on the planet.
