Cheryl,
You should know that Codman, Drumlin, the Food Project and others in Lincoln
are bringing food to families in need, both in Linocln and beyond.
And those that can afford CCF prices also are asked to contribute to the
Lincoln Food Pantry.
Significant revenues are generated.
It is
The basic difference, for me, is that I can walk down the road and see Codman
chicken conditions for myself, no audit required. But for consumers in other
communities it’s not so easy. If Costco is a trustworthy agent for them, that’s
a good thing. But we could all eat less meat.

You can purchase what you want where you want. However, people don't
realize that "organic" and "humane" are not the same thing. That's all.

There isn't currently any comparable chicken at grocery stores (maybe at
deborahs?) - organic and pasture raised are two totally different labels
and two totally different meanings. I have not seen true pasture raised
chickens at Whole Foods for at least a year - and I check.

I can assure you that these are factory-farmed. You want to support an
industry that barely allows chickens to move before they die so you can
save a couple of bucks? Go ahead.

I do understand that there are all sorts of good reasons why Codman charges
so much. I'm not quarreling with that line of reason. I just think it is
sad that Lincoln has a reputation for being an expensive place.

This is an interesting thread because the cost and labor structure at
Codman is very different from a typical retailer or privately owned farm.

Whole Foods has become a generic, unimaginative version of Bread and Circus.
I remember the first health food store in nyc city —spring street in
soho—creative, experimental, knowledgeable, purposeful, a little more
expensive—somewhat like Codman…

Yes, but Whole Foods can price lower because of quantity. You can see it in
food and flower prices. They are a national chain. Codman and local
farmers have locally grown food. Farm staff need to be paid fairly for
this labor intensive food. And so we can choose, as Sara says.

Stepping back from the commentary for a moment: my sister was up visiting
me in Lincoln recently, and I took her by Codman Farms. She looked at the
pricing, and was actually pretty shocked. The prices were so much higher
than even the most expensive of the local markets (Whole Foods) for
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.

You have many choices - meat and chicken produced at large, factory farms, will
of course be cheaper.
Any meat/chicken sold through chain stores will be cheaper.
You have that choice -it is locally available at Donelans, Market Basket,
