READ AN EXCERPT FROM OUR NEWSLETTER The reason we are not organically certified is my lack of faith for the certification itself. The government has stepped in and defined the word “Organic”. The organic movement is growing by leaps and bounds so naturally the government wants in so they allow the word organic to be used wherever they want. Could you imagine the big boys using the word organic for their factory raised chicken like animals. Sounds silly but I wouldn’t laugh too hard yet. The word organic can be likened to the word “free range”. When you hear free range what do you think of? Is it birds enjoying fresh air, grass, and sunshine with room to move around as they please, sounds wonderful doesn’t it? Here’s the reality, free range means access to the outside whether they use it or not, keep in mind these large birds do not run around an awful lot so they may never even go outside, they may just sit and wait for their next feeding. Their access can simply be a dirt yard or a slab of cement, it doesn’t even have to be a field with grass or anything, now that doesn’t sound to “free rangey” to me. But when it gets to the labeling, there it is “Free Range” chicken, yeah right! Sound interesting? Read the entire newsletter here. |
