I cannot stand a shop bought egg. <br /><br />I only like to buy Barambah Organic milk as well. Providing I can afford it. We go through 10 litres a week, so it can get pricey.<br /><br />I feel suspicious about that Castlemaine ham and bacon as well. I watched Food Inc. recently and it changed the way I feel about free range chicken too.michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08830431161836892797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2940108922457737358.post-49407692209800608652011-09-09T10:39:38.278+10:002011-09-09T10:39:38.278+10:00I really don't have such a list, but only last...I really don't have such a list, but only last week I suddenly decided we should try to get the omega-3 eggs; and if we can't, then at least free range, or cage-free. It's the first time I've thought about such a thing as far as shopping is concerned - money is also a factor, and it's not always easy to afford all the best stuff.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12503930255842185609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2940108922457737358.post-85033711068225008272011-09-08T18:23:32.330+10:002011-09-08T18:23:32.330+10:00Ahhh - Love the comment on the husband not becomin...Ahhh - Love the comment on the husband not becoming Vegetarian anytime soon. Mine is the same - however I have managed to bring him around to one vegetarian meal a week. <br />I am with you ont he free-range/organic thing - it is so hard to know - I am looking forward to moving closer to Tim's parents. Our lamb will come from the farm and I know first hand how they are cared for. The kids are wanting Chickens (for Christmas - not certian that is going to happen that quick - but we will see)<br />You will have to try the buffalo sausages when you get to Darwin. The little butcher at Palmerston makes (or made - who know what occurs now) his own and it took me a long time to come around to trying them but so glad that I did (and half the price of standard sausages.Kyliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17600462735290326334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2940108922457737358.post-403209459254529972011-09-07T19:29:21.690+10:002011-09-07T19:29:21.690+10:00Exactly why i can not wait to produce all our own ...Exactly why i can not wait to produce all our own happy meat products, from our paddock to our plates. That way i don't have to worry about packaging, transport or power - as we're going solar!! Hey, come to my place!! We buy from Farmers Markets in the mean time, that "certified organic logo" is the most strictly adhered to & respected logo a company can have!! <br />Cleaning, i try to use Enjo as much as possible, clean with water & fibre.

I get eggs from a friend who has chooks in his yard (definitely free-range) and i love buying local produce from the markets. I will only buy free-range chicken as well. I find it tough like you, and it frustrates me when one group is telling you one thing, and then it contradicts another, it's all so confusing!!! Good luck on your quest to find the right balance!Brenda @ 13 Acreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15936530633161291153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2940108922457737358.post-57223905252439648152011-09-06T20:49:17.743+10:002011-09-06T20:49:17.743+10:00hmm, an interesting topic of conversation.

I hadn't thought about free range meat as I go past grean fields with cows grazing every day so I presumed thats how all cows live without realy thinking about it. I might look into that a little more.<br />Also natural fibre clothingkarenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16042422062528593853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2940108922457737358.post-69603676123412813322011-09-06T14:37:51.319+10:002011-09-06T14:37:51.319+10:00Hi - I won't buy anything made in China, or an...Hi - I won't buy anything made in China, or any where else with appalling human rights. I only buy English food, grown and produced in England, including English wheat. It's hard to find eggs that are not free range and in most supermarkets, they are the only ones they use. I buy meat from the local butchers and most of the meat, I can see on the hoof on the local farms, it's also slaughtered locally. Fish? we catch it ourselves from the local rocks and we forage for shell fish.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10555001676886354389noreply@blogger.com
