I’m sorry, I’m such an idiot (and/or blind), I still can’t find a vote button! I put their name in the search link, and their facebook came up, but still no vote button, just a “like” button. Sigh… ---

Wow! Checked our votes over my first cup of coffee and we’re up to 170. Just 80 more to go and we’re there. Dopers are the absolute best, they really are. The second link is the one you need to click on. It is a bit confusing, I know. I included the first link for anyone that wanted to check out our farm before they voted. > [@](#): > > **SeaDragonTattoo** Done! I’m a locavore, especially for animal products - no factory farming, so basically vegan unless eating at home or a couple of acceptable restaurants. Supporting you from someone who pays $20-25 for a whole chicken That must be one big chicken! One of our purposes in applying for the grant is to reduce overall costs including labor. If we can automate just a small part of our operation and negotiate our grain prices a year in advance in, we can reduce costs for our chicken and make it more affordable for everyone. Currently we charge $3.75 per pound at the farmers market but I’d like to see that go down to $3.50. And yes, **Crowbar of Irony +3** , you can vote for us even if you have already voted for another business as long as they’re in a different town. To the best of my knowledge, we are the only business in Lexington, Texas applying for this grant. Just ‘liking’ on us on Facebook doesn’t cut it though-you have to vote on the Mission: Small Business site. > [@](#): > > \*\*moejoe \*\*I’m wearing a tiny imaginary chicken shaped sticker that reads: I Voted! That’s hilarious. ---

You would have my vote if it hadn’t already gone to a friend’s local farm/orchard. Good luck! ---

Good for you and good luck to your friend. You \*can \* vote for more than one business though as long as it’s not in the same town. I’m voting for other business too. ---

Voted, liked and shared. I said that you were so nice to your chickens that people could feel all smug inside just by voting for you. 🙂 I liked your thread. Made me look sideways at my Walmart bag o’ frozen chicken boobs. ---
