As soon as I had a chance to learn about their admirable business model, I asked our broker about buying their stock, only to learn that they were not selling on the public market in the US.

A pity. I'd invest in them in a hot minute.

I've been in a couple. One in Munich and another in MO. I would compare them to Winco. They didn't make an impression on me positive or negative, LOL, but that is coming from a man that can take or leave shopping--except home improvement or auto parts.

Cage-free is more humane for the little ovals of joy. Fresh air; room to run around.

Cage free doesn't mean what you think it does.

I get that. I HATE shopping, so I appreciate someplace that makes it easy for me to get in, grab what I need and get out.

I admit I haven't shopped them, even though I now live driving distance from one, and my conversation with the broker was so long ago that I don't remember even what it was about them that impressed me. I think it was bare-bones displays and more reliance on organic than a lot of chains.

What comes to my memory that really did impress me was that you could see all the way across the store because their shelving was kept below eye level. Gave the store a very open feel.

I've never heard of that brand, Duke. Maybe also a regional store and brand. I'm in the Pacific Northwest.

same, kerrygold is actually an irish butter and it's available across the USA, it does cost more but it's really good

they only use grass- fed cows

they have a plant or two in the USA, no way you can ship butter from Ireland and it's still fresh

I just became aware of Kerry Gold in the past two weeks. Something was mentioned in a news article. I was surprised to see it in one of our local grocery stores. LOL, surprising how you overlook things that are out of the ordinary.

I think they have it at my Costco. When they're out of their brand of organic butter, I'll go for Kerry Gold.

Yes, roosters can be very annoying critters and should only be kept far away from where there needed for fertilizing.

Even in Seattle, they're smart enough to know this. When we lived there ten years ago, in an urban neighborhood, homes were allowed to have up to six hens if they could keep them confined to their property, and absolutely NO roosters allowed.


.

What surprised me is that the group of Roosters were allowed by Fremont to live there since the noise was so loud one has to think at least 1 resident would have complained.
Fremont is a modern city that grew up out of open farms that are now no longer farms.

somebody I know took this pic, sams club
apparently CO passed a new law only cage free eggs can be sold
typical liberal agenda........we know best, you are stupid and ignorant

View attachment 1089342

Are those Turkish eggs, or smuggled Canadian eggs?

 

[Woodznutz]

What I HATE about cage-free eggs from any store is they snap, crackle, and POP, after being in the skillet for a couple of minutes. Part of one popped onto my clothing the other day. Switched from the cage-free Cherry Lane brand to cage-free Lucerne eggs from Safeway and they are better. Less popping. Cage-free eggs are all I've seen in Safeway for many months. Putting a lid on the skillet is very helpful.

If you can hear the egg frying at all turn down the heat.

 

[Robert W]

Brings HI to mind. They have chickens roaming free all over the islands and yeah, they crow all the time. LOL Beats the hell out of loud vehicle noises, trains, planes and gunfire though.

YES, I have seen them when at Kauai for the most part and they run all over even city streets and all over the island. I never saw them on the Big Island or on Oahu or Maui.
Kauai also has lots of wild goats especially in the part known as Hawaii's grand canyon.

I love the comparison of roosters crowing and urban noise pollution. I could easily live with roosters over ambulances and other city noise.

They're there. You just have to get out of the hotel zones.

I checked here in Idaho for that Irish Butter and for half a pound at the Fred Meyer store it costs $4.49. When I next buy butter I plan to get some. Fred Meyer is a Kroger store. They tried to merge Kroger with Albertsons which started in Idaho.
