"Label Rouge" method pastured Chickens are the traditional way to grow poultry so that the birds are healthy and the meat is more flavorful and finer grained. These birds are available in limited quantities from Second Wind and Notting Hill.

Relatively low-level exposure to common pesticides -- probably from residues on foods -- doubles kids' risk of ADHD, Harvard researchers find.
Kids with higher-than-average levels of pesticide metabolites were about twice as likely to have ADHD as kids with undetectable levels of pesticide metabolites, find Marc C. Weisskopf, PhD, ScD, associate professor of environmental health and epidemiology at Harvard School of Public Health, and colleagues.
"This raises concerns that ubiquitous pesticides may be contributing to the national burden of ADHD, which already is quite high,"

At this time of year with much SNOW on the ground and this past season's beef and lamb entirely sold out, we look ahead to warmer weather and our next butchering date in May-June; place your orders now. We appreciate all of the feedback about this year's healthy and delicious beef and lamb. The beef has excellent, rich flavor that has made several customers comment on how it makes conventional feedlot beef taste oh-so-BLAND. Additionally, Briarmead lamb chops are planned as the centerpiece of a local professional chef's upcoming gourmet dinner; sure to please the palates of a group of discriminating guests. We'll let you know how that comes out in March!

Thanks for the strong support; we have sold out of whole lambs (some cuts available via request), and Beef is sold through December. We are taking orders for January Beef delivery, so do feel free to order for January.

NY Times - woman paralyzed by eColi in ground beef... read on:
"Ground beef is usually not simply a chunk of meat run through a grinder. Instead, records and interviews show, a single portion of hamburger meat is often an amalgam of various grades of meat from different parts of cows and even from different slaughterhouses... confidential grinding logs and other Cargill records show...the ingredients came from slaughterhouses in Nebraska, Texas and Uruguay, and from a South Dakota company that processes fatty trimmings and treats them with ammonia to kill bacteria. Using a combination of sources — a practice followed by most large producers of fresh and packaged hamburger — allowed Cargill to spend about 25 percent less than it would have for cuts of whole meat."
Would you pay 25% more to know where your beef comes from and how it is processed?
