Organic Egg Production - Living Conditions

Living Conditions

In the United States, "organic" egg production means that the flock may not live in cages and must have access to the outdoors.

Famous quotes containing the words living and/or conditions:

    So, when the last and dreadful Hour
    This crumbling Pageant shall devour,
    The TRUMPET shall be heard on high,
    The dead shall live, the living die,
    And MUSICK shall untune the Sky.
    John Dryden (1631–1700)

    Any man who does not accept the conditions of life sells his soul.
    Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
