For those of you who live near a whole foods and use it, here is their standards for the meat and poultry that they sell. Thought this looked like an interesting bit to know. Who wants factory and gmo fed meat
I have been shopping at the Whole Foods in Willowbrook, IL since it opened 8 years ago. I can't say enough on what a terrific store it is. I feel very safe buying my meat and pretty much everything else there. Yes, it is expensive, but I buy their 365 brand, use their coupons, and buy what is on sale. We end up spending the same as we would have at regular grocery stores, except we get organic produce, organic dry goods and drug free meat!
I have heard that WF bought out Greenlife in Chattanooga. I have gone there for years. I know where they get most of their meat. I have been to that farm. Before I had my steer butchered, that was where I got my beef. They are a free range organic farm. It's good to live so close to where the animals are raised that go to that store. And there is a Fresh market and Earthfare that get that meat also.
