Some roam through pastures testing bunches of fescue, a cool-season grass, for the sweetness the frost brings. This herd, however, is not quite as free-range as it appears.

The challenge, for most meat-eaters out there, would be the significant reduction in the amount of pork, chicken and eggs available (due to the move away from permanently housed flocks and herds that are fed grain and imported protein feeds, to free-range, high-welfare systems).

If your eggs are organic or free-range, be sure to communicate it! Feel free to have signage that sings the praises of the egg’s taste and quality. Or specialty products, such as organic, pasture raised or omega-3 eggs. A little personality goes a long way too. You probably can’t compete on price with the supermarket.
