I love the interesting conversations we have with our customers. I know it's often a balance of affordability, morals and convenience. I really respect the vegan and vegetarians amongst us, especially when that decision is based on a moral stance about animals. I would also like to challenge them about what veg they eat....is it always Organic? If not, it is killing billions of bees and insects and therefore begs the question - how big and cute and cuddly does it need to be before we care enough to vote with our shopping habits enough to stop pesticides and fertilizers on our veg!? I accept the affordability argument here too though.
We grow our veg organically. It is too costly to register to be officially organic though. We have Potatoes available now! We will have more Veg, Fruit and Cutting Flowers in the Spring/Summer.
For those of you who do eat meat, I urge you to consider where that meat comes from? A lot of meat is intensively reared, full of routine medication and injected with water to increase the weight. Sows in Farrowing Crates (a small cage on concrete where often they can't even turn around).
Vote with your shopping habits and importantly TELL THE RESTAURANT, BURGER VAN, FOOD VENDOR, SHOP THAT YOU'RE NOT BUYING IT BECAUSE IT IS NOT FREE RANGE. This is the only way we can stop the dissociation with a cellophane packet and change the welfare of animals. (Ultimately having the potential to reduce how much good quality meat costs.
Only 3% of pigs are raised outdoors in Free Range conditions. Support Free Range, Buy Local, Direct from the Farm and get high quality, high welfare pork.
