My story. I recently observed the manager of the local SubWay sandwich shop throwing away loaves of bread that didn't "look" good enough to sell. Fresh, just not good looking. I explained I was a neighber and small chicken farmer. Anyway, he said I could have any bread that went in the trash (which is quite a bit). SubWays are a franchise and independently owned. I have 2 of them near me, and they are both cooperative. Bread is jut a treat, of course, never all the chickens get. We also have bakery outlets nearby, a whold box (large) of day-old bread (whole grain) for $1.25 - can't go wrong. Hope this helps.
