If you’re new to the Poultry Score Card by Cornucopia Institute, you can search your neighborhood “farm / brand headquarters” “products” “market area” poultry and see if they’re 1 🐓  or 5 🐓 🐓 🐓 🐓 🐓

Click each Farm Name to learn more about the different parameters behind the rating, and what the farm scored.  This will also let you understand what parameters to ask about when you yourself are at the farmers market (e.g. Indoor Space Per Bird, Outdoor Space Per Bird, Organic Commitment, Ownership Structure – Corporate vs Family, Supplemental Feed, etc – super interesting!)

And share!

It’s worth noting that specialty stores charge $5 a pound for Organic Poultry that are a 1 🐓  rating. You can’t know which is truly organic or which is fake, until….. The Cornucopia Institute, a nonprofit agricultural watchdog group that reveals industrial practices within the elastic organic standards, began rating poultry over two years ago. You can go through the list and see that Wholefoods 365 Brand is a 1 🐓, Applegate Farms $8 is a 3 🐓 🐓 🐓  , and your neighborhood farmers market $5 pound  is a 5🐓 🐓 🐓 🐓 🐓. Eggs, poultry, dairy, grain products, and more were turned into Score Cards on their website: cornucopia.org.
