We reall...It is a lovely pub - such a pretty area. We really felt a million miles for Sydney. <br /><br />What Tammy said is mostly true about sheep + cattle, however the practice of "grain-fed" livestock usually sees the animal moved in to feedlots for 'fattening up'...these usually have a concrete floor and are sometimes in a shed. Me no likie this. And you're right, chicken and pork is a whole other kettle of fish...<br /><br />I've been doing some reading on practices overseas - and oh boy, what an ethical minefield - even dairy cows are spending their whole lives in doors in milking sheds never moving from their "spot". I'm glad I live in Australia where my choices are kinda easier. <br /><br />Let me know how the vegie box goes - that really interests me.Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11907743046211723083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1085429884053920414.post-14690550739006220352012-02-06T20:36:13.744+11:002012-02-06T20:36:13.744+11:00Lovely looking country pub.

When...Lovely looking country pub. Love the photos!<br /><br />When I was speaking to Tammy at the Eat Drink Blog conference about her new small holding, she told me that nearly all cows and sheep in Australia are outdoor reared and therefore free range. It are pigs and chickens that are often bred indoors. I've no idea if it is true or not, but sounds reasonable and she's a small holder so should know.<br /><br />I'm experimenting with a Food Connect veggie box as well over the next month (along with the free range meat I'm trying to buy).<br /><br />You impress me as I haven't taken my free range principles to restaurants yet.Richard Elliothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00565380446421416586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1085429884053920414.post-44322401071438845732012-02-06T16:50:24.833+11:002012-02-06T16:50:24.833+11:00Gotta love an Aussie pub!
