Egg Industry damage control (published in USA Today): "The chickens live in 27.7-inch-by-22.6-inch cages, eight to a cage. The cages are 19 inches tall, says [redacted], the farm's founder. "I made them extra tall because I wanted them to have more room." The six rows of cages are stacked on top of each other, in lines 277 cages long." This "farm" exploits 1M chickens. The article also reports that caged birds are 400% more likely to have salmonella infections.

We have a limited number of fresh-frozen ducks available for purchase at $4.50/lb.; liver and heart for making duck pate is included in this weight and price. Contact Briarmead Farm to reserve your succulent whole Pekin duck now!

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,"

NVPG provides an alternative to industrial Eggs: Grade “AA” Farm Direct. Our hens are 100% pastured which enables them to improve their diet by eating grass, seeds, clover, and bugs in addition to their feed. We do not run a significant Egg surplus— which guarantees freshness (and also makes it challenging to meet the tremendous demand! Thanks for your patience).
