Really, Free- Range EGGS in Reno -
----------------------------------------------------------
Note: Cage-free eggs/ hens are usually NOT Really, Free- Range/ Free- Roaming
and "vegetarian-fed" or soybean fed is not a natural, healthy diet for hens.
Commercial eggs that have Free- Range printed on the box may or MAY NOT be Really, Free- Range and Free- Roaming, because there is no legal defination for Free-Range - and so the term is often misused!!!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Some of the eggs at Great Basin Community Food Co-op are Really, Free- Range Eggs -
you might need to ask the Co-op staff exactly which are which.
note: even Really, Free- Range Eggs usually still get supplemental feed - WAPF recommends gmo-free, soy-free feed.
- some hens are fed ORGANIC supplemental feed -
which means that the feed should not contain gmo's, or been treated with pesticides or chemical fertilizers, etc.
- ask the Co-op staff if they're not clearly marked which are which.
- at Whole Foods Market, the Really, Free- Range Eggs are in the produce/fresh veggie dept, not the egg dept!
- again, some hens are fed ORGANIC supplemental feed - those are marked "organic"
also see Farmers Markets - below -
-------------------------------------------------------
Really, Free- Range MEAT in Reno -
--------------------------------------------------------
- ALL meat and bones at Great Basin Community Food Co-op are
from Really, Free- Range, Pastured animals -
- Whole Foods Market has Really, Free- Range, Pastured meat - some is 100% grass-fed and organic - ask at meat counter
also see Farmers Markets - below -
