Well we’ve become a free range bacon household the last two weeks, buying Freedom Farms bacon. I’ve still volunteered to stay off bacon though as hubby has to buy a smaller pack for the same price as non free range bacon. Won’t do either of us any harm though. I hope we will be able to continue to buy free range at our Pak n Save as living in a fairly low income area there is the possibility that it won’t sell that well and won’t be stocked after a while. There is no way we can afford the free range pork chops and roasts that we’ve seen and we earn a reasonable salary – our solution is just not to eat these products if we can’t afford free range. I’ve also found another company online that sells free range pork products http://www.thebaconstation.co.nz/ but hubby says he’s not buying food off Trade Me! I have to admit in terms of packaging and gel packs keeping it cool etc while being posted I would rather buy my bacon from the supermarket.
