This video, courtesy of the Cornucopia Institute was sent to me from our friend and customer Brian Simpson. I’ve posted their research on the Organic Industry structure on randlefarms.com before. The institute does an excellent job exposing the underbelly of organic, even providing scorecards for organic brands you’ll find in the grocery store.
The video below presents the fundamental problems with the Organic Certification program, using egg production as an example.
Poultry flock on early summer pasture
These pictures are from our own pastured poultry production. (Click them for a larger image.)We use moveable houses which allow us to rotate birds through pasture as they exhaust the resources of an area. We use poultry netting around the perimeter of our smaller birds, but allow our laying ducks and hens roam freely. Our turkeys, who have a remarkable capacity for flight, also take the liberty to roam with the sheep daily.
Turkeys and sheep grazing together.
Learn more about our poultry flocks on our website. It’s definitely a far cry from factory production.
