I have long experimented with food sold as "animal" feed due to its lower price. Most of the time its just not pretty enough for store shelves so it is packaged up and sold cheap.
I dont care if my carrots are all perfectly sized and formed. Food is food in my opinion.
We just picked up 20 pounds of carrots for about $4 and some change plus 20 pounds of apples for about $5.
These are just food. They were considered imperfect in some way so they were picked out and packaged as animal food.
There is nothing wrong with this food but for its size, shape or appearance normally. There are some rotted spots due to rough handling but those go to the chickens so nothing is wasted anyway.
My wife Melanie used some of the carrots to bake some carrot cake muffins. They turned out very well.
We plan to use the apples for canning and dehydrating for later use. We will can some apples for use in pies and deserts. Some we can dry and vacuum seal for later use as snacks.
This will give us some nice, tasty food for the winter.
And it was cheap.

"I will treat Melanie like a Princess when she gets here" ... Well I guess in the USA, princesses have low standards when comes to eating... If I was to tell my wife we will eat "Deer Feed" for dinner, I am pretty sure she would instruct me to spend the night in My Greenhouse Palace or My Toolshed mansion. But hey... what do I know... I m just a Canadian :)

@thediyworld It is you lied about Joy , your dog. You said she was re-homed but you still had her food, dog bed, house and items weeks after she left. Anyone asking about her was blocked from your youtube channel. Your lies don't match your video. Joy's time with you was spent on a chain until ASPCA visited and then she vanished. Killed in the woods eh Troy?

Its not that you "asked"but rather that you kept saying I killed my animals. Like the goats that were SOLD, with receipts which went to the original (actual) owner of the goats. But you know that.
And the chickens never died. They were sold. But you know that too.

@thediyworld So none of your 'chickens never died' ??? How about the 'greasy one' you left diseased under your trailer for days because 'you didn't want to touch it'. Poor bird suffered as they all did from starvation. Dozens of your chickens were lost to raccoons due to your poorly built coups. You killed numerous groups of new hatchlings by allowing electric power and their heat to be shut off and they froze. You are extremely cruel to animals and should never own another. They mean nothing to you except a 'prop' for your 'off-grid' lies.

This is a great money making idea for you Troy . I watched a fellow Youtuber from NY state who has since moved to Michigan do this . It's brilliant and your subs will love it also . What this genius would do is start some type of project , complete 60 to 70 percent and then whine and complain that he didn't have enough funds to complete the task . His subs would then send donations and gifts to the wretched fellow out of sympathy . Now this is the brilliant part , read closely . He was a proclaimed Christian soul and would never deceive a person . His subs of course took his word as gospel . Whatever this man claims is surely the truth . He would then claim the project was finished but not film the competed task . Pocket the donated cash and sell the gifts on CL . Absolutely brilliant . What do you think of this idea Troy ? Does it seem a little dishonest or just a fantastic idea ? I truly hope you can give me your opinion on this . I will post this on every video .

You blocked me when I asked about your air conditioning unit running on solar and questioned if you had enough solar to run the unit. Why block people who were asking honest questions I have since added solar saving half of my power bill and never had the problems you had as you did not know how your system worked correctly and damaged all of your batteries. I then found sucks and my eyes were opened to your ebegging and scams. If you had not blocked me I would never have found sucks and here we are today.

Don't be taken in by TR the monkey. Troy Reid, better know as TR, Trog, Leatherhead (because of his dirty stinking greasy old hat that he wears every place he goes even in the house) Turkey Head, Fruit Loops and more, is a full time ebegger, scammer and a fraud.
He has a band of dedicated goons on his YouTube channel that send him their money because he refuses to get a job.
His 100k subs on YouTube, I believe are mostly bought hence the reason for on 2 or 3 thousand views of his no content video.
I think what has amazed me the most since he has been on here is just how nasty he is, throwing random accusations at everyone because he can't delete their comment.
Trog story of scanning and stupidity is a long one, he is the only YouTuber I know that has a superb dedicated sucks site, it is definitely the best place to gen up on his evil doings.
Come on over, everyone is friendly, it's not the place Reids suckers make it out to be.

In the area of the country that I live Walmart and others take the out of date items and "bad fruit and veggies" and take them right to the dumpster or some of it goes to "Harvesters" an organization that collects food for food pantries through out the area ! There used to be day old bread stores that used to sell really old bread and pastries for pretty cheep and the hog farmers would come in and gobble all that stuff up to slop the hogs with!
