Yes I agree about the foraging. My yard never has any pesticide/herbicides and has a variety of grasses, weeds, vines, bushes, shrubs, bugs, worms, toads, lizards, snakes. Even though grass will improve egg color and content free-range should improve their overall variety and diet but again that's just me and I'm not a regulating body who passes out labels for money. How many eggs are you selling and to whom? I have my flock for me and have more than I need but I don't want to down size now. Especially since the few extra are actually paying for the expensive organic, non-GMO corn, no soy feed
As a consumer of goods I'd much rather know where something is made and how is it made and what it is made out of than people pre-labeling the product. Unless they want to take my standards and give it the Kiz label.
I like organic but I also don't mind if pesticide is used on a very limited necessary basis. I personally don't use pesticides but I can understand farmers who do to help their crop. I don't however like the idea of some of the pesticides being used or the spraying of entire fields when not necessary and that then goes in to when is it necessary. As a consumer I'd rather by local grown produce with limited pesticide or herbicide, second USA grown, and so on.
Point is I agree with don't label; explain. Once you have a few loyal customers you won't be explain again. I have a little email I send out that explains my practices.
