As aware consumers who are concerned about the well being of our groceries, everyone should really be aware of what 'free range' actually means.  Does it mean that your bird had a luxurious life in a pasture, pecking at insects and or does it just mean that the bird may have had the opportunity to go outside of the battery - if it actually found the door to do so. 

Your butcher should be able to tell you.  And if they can't, go elsewhere.]]>

Deborah,

I forgot to mention that we'll also slide the word "heritage" in there when we sell eggs, as our eggs come from Canada's oldest variety of chicken, the Chantecler.]]>

Maria,

Sorry, I used soy as an example, but my point was that ANY vegetable that comes from a tilled field, or is not hand-picked kills bugs.  Almost every time a human eats a food that came from a farm, some sort of living thing was killed in it's production.]]>

Deborah,

I'm only raising birds for myself and my family at the moment, mostly because of the lack of an ethical abbattoir near me.  I am starting to sell eggs soon, and I'm not sure how i'll refer to them.  I used that term a little loosely.  My birds have 10 acres to "hunt" for bugs on, and some people would call that free-range, while others would call it "pastured"...]]>

All I can think of when you say "Green Thanksgiving" is how many greenbacks will cross the palms of others hands in order to procure all those items mentioned.
Hate to break it to you, but I'm not prepared to take out a second mortgage for that free ranging turkey from Whole Foods.]]>

Mark,
Can I speak to you about free range birds?  I'm looking into starting a free-range egg business, and have not found much evidence that the expression 'free range' is in common use.  Thanks, Deb]]>

Please note that none of my recipes contain soy. No fake turkey or anything. It is a non-meat Thanksgiving menu.]]>

What does "green" have to do with not killing animals? If you can argue the keeping and raising of turkeys is intrinsically harmful to the environment I'd like to hear it.]]>

Pretending that non-meat products like soy don't involve killing is silly.  As an organic farmer, I'm keenly aware of the millions of bugs that are killed every time a field is tilled.  Free-range birds like the ones I raise are very environmentally friendly, and way greener than soy.]]>

Oh, but you can have "the greenest" Thanksgiving, without any meat. There is no need for the massacre that happens as this time of year.
I did last year and we're doing this year as well (with new and improved recipes this year). Here's the link to my post:
