thewhitehouse Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Here is the reply to my letter to my local County Councillor. She thanked me for bringing this very important issue to her attention and forwarded this reply from the Head of Staffordshire County Councils catering service: "You'll be pleased to know that we are introducing free range eggs from local farms where possible as of the beginning of this month. Naturally there is a cost implication, but we hope to absorb this within our pricing structure. As mentioned by Bev, this supports national objectives in banning the use of eggs from caged hens in advance of the 2012 deadline. There will be a press release during February, along with one this week re: organic meatballs....see below You may also be interested to know that we also purchase our milk from a local Stafford farm and have introduced organic meatballs onto our primary and middle menus, supplied by Lower Hurst Farm in Derbyshire and sourced from Staffordshire organic farms. This again is an extremely expensive product." One small step for chickenkind .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
