further to my pork post... and re what linda said...
i was surprised to find corn fed free range chicken at my local pak n save the other day. i dont really do chicken but my husband loves it so i brought some... and OMG it was so yummy, much nicer than "average" chicken. sure it is a bit more expensive but i find because it is so tasty you dont need as much so a small pack of breasts does us.
My partner and I buy a whole organic chicken every month for $22, we get 8 meals out of the meat and then use the bones to make a stock and use that for soup. Given the chicken is yummier and has had a much better life I think it is worth it, given we get about 18 meals out of it.
If you do a google search for organic meat nz, you will find a few places were you can buy in bulk from. So far I've not found one with cheap enough postage to the South Island but it's definitely cheaper if you can buy in bulk rather than buy from the supermarket or organic shops.
Some of them stock free range pork, so it's not organic as well as free range but still better than the factory farmed stuff.
Also you can look up www.havocfarm.co.nz and they give you a list of retailers that you can buy their pork from. There is freedomfarm as well, there products I have seen at both countdown and woolworths.
I saw Corn Feed chicken at Pak n Save but didn't realise they were also free range so that is good to know and it was reasonably priced I thought. Bit dumb of me not to think they were free range but now I know!
