  • Jennifer and Rodney Barrett were once chicken farmers and cattle ranchers. Now they're in the process of converting their barns to grow mushrooms. Watch their touching story to see what prompted the switch.
    "Anybody that would buy into any part of the animal protein business right now, I think would be plum foolish." Rowdy Girl Sanctuary started the Rancher Advocacy Program to help farmers like the Barrett family transition out of raising animals for food and into growing mushrooms"

    Jennifer e Rodney Barrett já foram criadores de gado e aves. Agora, estão transformando seus celeiros para um cultivo de cogumelos. Assista a essa tocante história para ver como foi o despertar dessa família.
    "Qualquer pessoa que entrasse em qualquer vertente da agropecuária agora seria extremamente insensato, na minha opinião." O Santuário Rowdy Girl começou o Programa de Desenvolvimento de Fazendeiros para ajudar pessoas a transicionar seu negócio, de criação de animais considerados de consumo para um cultivo de cogumelos, como a família Barrett.

    People go through life with their eyes open and their minds shut tight. The ones that open their minds, finally see what their eyes have been seeing. These people become vegans, and I love every single one of them for it. I wish this couple a happy enlightened future. They can be at peace with themselves now. 💖💚🌱🌍

      No it isn't better than munching in a corpse. You can try to make it sound gross by saying "corpse" but eating flesh Is just as natural as eating fungi.

    What a beautiful story! I look so forward to see this happening all around the country, and all around the planet. Many people think vegans are anti-farmer, and it simply is not true. We all rely on farmers, vegan or not!

    Grew up on a small chicken farm in MD that my parents shut down in the 80’s. I turned vegan in 1979 at age 8 …it was straight up Silence Of The Lambs when catch crews came in. Traumatic af! Chicken barns have been used for storage and workshop space ever since. I have one left on the property and found this video in a search for ideas on converting the old barn into a greenhouse.

  • @ryannaylor4256
    @ryannaylor4256 3 года назад

    God bless yall the biggest thing is now is we need to stop marketing vegan and vegetarian foods as things like beyond Burger or cauliflower nuggets we need to call him what they are and they're delicious as it is but I would much rather have a vegetarian diet vegan diet than to consume animal products I don't feel well after I eat them but you're right and you said it that is mostly what is available on the grocery stores and when I went vegan for a time which I plan on doing again it was depressing because I had very little to choose from so thank you from the bottom of my heart thank you for helping

    Notice, the chickens are so physically debilitated, they can't even move to escape being captured.

  • @garionporter5961
    @garionporter5961 4 года назад

    Correct me if I'm wrong...but...don't mushroom farms need manure? I'm still watching it right now...may be answered in a min or so lol.

    • @bead1212
      @bead1212 4 года назад +1

      They do not need manure. They just need ansubstrate such as wood or grain to grow on.

      Wood chips are a option for Mushrooms. They do not cover this in the video however.

    Hi, I am in the process of buying a farm that house two chicken houses. 42x400. Trying to figure out what to do with them other than storage units. I am not interested in raising chickens, raising mushrooms has definitely got my attention. Please advise if you have the time. what state do you all live in. Thanks
