Thanks for getting the word out--it's been great to see the overwhelming interest in what these labels REALLY mean. We at Animal Welfare Approved were incredibly pleased with the NY Times article--the author called our farms "utopia" for chickens! It's been a good way to let consumers know to look for the label, and inform farmers about the free program. Thanks for including us in your post, and feel free to check out our website (www.AnimalWelfareApproved.org)!
