“Where there is smoke, there is fire”
From Running Bug Farm, Facebook, December 30, 2019
My husband and I are planting our Christmas tree when I look up and see this huge black cloud of smoke coming from one of the fracking pads that is by us.
Due to the terrain (mountains) we don’t actually know the precise number of fracking pads that surround our property. We are however, aware of at least four. Let that sink in. Four fracking pads – that we know of.
Wild and Wonderful West Virginia. Cancer Capital, gee I wonder why?

ABOUT THE RUNNING BUG FARM —
For the six years we spent searching for this place I continued naturally growing my own food without the use of chemicals (my birds are my bug control & to an extent my weed control as well) or fertilizers (other than the lovely poop from my own organically raised critters) & sourcing only certified organic seeds. I also learned about culturing my own foods. At first it was a struggle to find organic livestock feeds. With hours spent searching online, I eventually found an certified organic supplier in Virginia.
I currently raise a variety of birds, English angora rabbits, & have a Jersey cow. I also have several house cats, & even more barn cats (one can never have too many cats). I never use chemicals. My eco farm is earth friendly, eco friendly, & animal friendly.
Many of my amazing animals are selected according to their status on the Livestock Conservancy list (see resources). I often choose endangered breeds & raise them. When you support my farm, you are directly helping me keep these amazing domestic livestock animals from becoming extinct.
My products exceed the weak USDA Organic standards. Did you know that something can have the organic seal yet contain chemicals? Giant companies are always pushing for weaker organic standards.
The USDA allows hundreds of non-organic additives in certified organic foods! FYI, organic is Non GMO. GMO’s are not allowed in certified organic. This is one of many reasons why I only buy organic. Organic also insures I am not consuming crops grown with sewage sludge, irradiation, fracking waste water, genetic modification, synthetic chemicals, synthetic fertilizers, growth hormones, & more.
Unfortunately when you buy a product who’s only claim is that it is Non GMO, it can still contain glyphosate & the above mentioned chemicals. Glyphosate also known as Round Up Ready is used in Non GMO crops as a desiccant to help dry out crops such as wheat & other grains. Monsanto (now owned by Bayer) encourages it’s use. When used as a desiccant, glyphosate is not washed off.
If you want to avoid a toxic life, go organic. Not only is it better for your family & pets, it is also better for the environment & the workers. Nothing speaks louder to a business than how you chose to spend your money. If you buy it, you support it.

But it’s true that the big outfits are pushing to weaken organic standards.
They recently got hydroponic farming allowed as organic, a travesty.
The solution is to buy LOCAL, where you can visit the farm and see for yourself what their practices are. We need to relocalize our economies, especially in the all-important food sector, anyway.
