Foreground: Arugula gone to flower. Background: sage and lots of happy bees.
Whew--relief! Slight relief but I'll take all I can get. When I want meat and don't have time to go to Local Yokal (their hours are somewhat restrictive for a commuter), I stop off at Whole Foods Market. But I've been more and more suspicious about the meat I buy at Whole Foods Market--it may be organic and free of antibiotics, but it's not necessarily humanely raised. I just did a check on "Applegate Naturals." Their web site has an excellent spin doctor. Their animals have space, good food, good treatment--but nowhere does it use the words "pastured" or "free range." Not in a cursory search, anyway.So it's better than CAFO, but not what I prefer.
The ham I just bought, labeled "Niman Ranch," is a winner! .It says right there on their web site,
Livestock are raised outdoors
I'm bookmarking those guys.
