Out of curiosity, I looked at images of chicken for sale at butcher shops in the early 40s (pre-factory farmed chicken). Then I compared 1940 prices to current prices...and discovered that Codman Farm chicken is almost exactly the same price as chicken was in the 1940s.
Chicken was once Sunday dinner food. It was, like Codman's chicken, flavorful and delicious. I looked and looked for pasture raised chicken and used to buy it from Whole Foods when they occasionally had it. I am SOOO happy that Codman has real chicken almost all the time. I strongly urge you all to try it, and just stop buying factory chicken. If you want a bland protein on which to impart other flavors use tofu. It is expensive - a problem we solved by eating much less meat. Better for our health, better for the environment, and the chickens lead a natural chicken life. If you care at all about the treatment of animals that alone is a reason to avoid anything except pasture raised chicken. "Organic" chicken is factory chicken that has been fed organic feed. One of the Michael Pollan books (apologies, I forget which one) described an "organic" chicken farm. It wasn't pretty - basically treating the building like a clean room.
