Wisconsin Farmers Make All-natural, Free-Range Chicken and High-quality Meats Available Year-Round
One attraction at Wisconsin farmers markets is the high-quality meats and free-range chicken for sale. People selecting pork, beef, or chicken can talk with the farmers who raised the animals. They can ask what the livestock was fed, if it was injected with drugs, and if it was allowed to range freely outdoors. In return for assurance that the meat and poultry they're purchasing meets high standards in food safety as well as animal care, people are willing to pay a bit more than they would at a large-chain grocery store.
I am becoming more and more like these conscientious consumers. I'm beginning to consider the personal-health, community-sustainability and even the global-trade impacts of my buying a chicken for dinner. Perhaps this sounds too weighty an issue to add to my shopping basket. But I'm having a hard time ignoring the call to social consciousness. Plus, as a parent I feel the responsibility to feed my children the healthiest food I can. So unlike in years passed, I now find myself turning down the grocery-store bargain meats. I'll switch the dinner plan to vegetarian if I don't have high-quality meat or chicken in the freezer.
But farmers markets will close in a couple of months. I can try to stock up on meats now, but stocks of some of my farmer friends are already running low. They're selling out as people like me store up healthy food for winter. An alternative is ordering high-quality, all-natural, humanely-raised meat and chicken on-line. At Wisconsinmade.com I can get meats and poultry from Wisconsin farmers and food producers delivered to me year-round. I know that these producers adhere to the same high-standards of animal care as my farmer friends. And that's pretty reassuring.
