These chapters described the experiences the mother and daughter had raising their turkeys and chickens respectively. They both got attached because they raised the animals themselves from chicks and babies. However, the daughter ultimately decided to sell her chickens for slaughter to save the money to buy herself a horse. The mother then had a 50th birthday party and had many people attend. At the party they only served food grown or raised by themselves or nearby farmers.
This section was written in a pretty simple manner. It reads more like a story than a lecture when telling us to eat locally. It shows the benefits and how to manage raising and growing your own animals and plants to eat and how much of a difference it makes on the environment. I liked the writing style because it tells good stories and seems pretty personal to the author. I liked the informal but informative tone.
