Personally you couldn't shove commercial chicken down my throat.
But its much easier to buy humanely raised meats. You just have to do a bit of research and be prepared to spend a little more. Organic feed prices and raising an animal humanely cost a little more. Perhaps if market demand swings in that direction it won't cost as much.

The recipe is great. Really nice. I added fresh cut rosemary.

Farm raised free range organic poultry is so different. I recall being in Italy and telling my Grandmother that I now knew what chicken was supposed to taste like. That was a long time ago, same with cheese and bread. Wow what an eye opening experience.

Like everything else that is local natural organic sustainable, there are more options in Northern CA but also a larger consumer base so while supply is there for most things (ok organic strawberries, raspberries, grapes and tomato's run in short supply in the summer) demand is high. This is good and it has opened the door for new farms to emerge, business loans to be had, investments to be made. Very good for our economy. I hope that this trend goes viral, we need it badly.

I do not eat a lot of meat either for several reasons, mostly I feel better on a high vegetable protein, whole food diet.
