No hormones or antibiotics are allowed; animals must be fed organically-grown feed and have access to the outdoors.

Natural

Locally Grown

Antibiotic-FreeThe term "antibiotic-free" is unregulated but producers can label foods "no antibiotics administered" or "raised without antibiotics," which means animals were raised entirely without them. 
Free Range
Chickens (and turkeys, as well as other poultry) that aren’t confined to cages and are granted access to the outdoors are called "free range.".
Grass-Fed
Animals raised primarily on grass and hay are referred to as "grass-fed." | Chestertown Natural Foods Trish Young-Gruber PO Box 560 303 Cannon Street Chestertown, Maryland 21620 410-778-1677 410-778-6537 designated fax |
