Ken how amazing. During the war years my father went out and bought a farm...with no running water and an outhouse... We had to draw water from a cistern and carry it into the house. We had six acres of apple orchard,peaches(Bing)Two grape arbors, one red and one green. Also Pear trees. We had VICTORY Gardens with about one acre of land planted with every conceivable vegetable. There is nothing that can compare with running down to pick corn,green beans, yellow beans fresh.. for dinner. Rhubarb and asparagus grew wild.. Fresh everything. Then my Dad built a incubator house as I had gotten a few baby chicks for Easter.. From that we had a carpenter build a big chicken coup where I got eggs everyday... FRESH.. In the summers there was a range shelter so the chickens ran in an enclosed area... Range Free Chickens. They were also slaughtered at the end of the summer and kept in a huge rented freezer....as we moved from the farm back into the City... So we both have had the same experience... What wonderful chickens.. every Sunday. I have never found chickens to compare with the taste of those chickens... Mother stewed a lot of them with home made dumplings.. What a life.... except the war was on and every one had a Victory garden and Dad was a plane spotter.. The government full expected us to be bombed.
