    In the UK, where I had lived for a while, they didn't have a 'farm fresh' label. What exactly does 'farm fresh' mean and does it replace one of the other 2 options?

    Farm fresh means battery.

    Organic taste the best by far.

    Hmmm...dunno about this. After hearing for years that organic chickens tasted better I splashed out twenty quid on one a few weeks ago. Couldn't taste any difference TBH.

    I don't eat it so I don't know but the general consensus is that you can't tell the difference with chicken. Chicken is described as meat tofu, perhaps it is tasteless to start off with.

    There is a huge taste difference between battery and organic eggs, and the organic are only about a third more expensive. Although I get mine free from a neighbour with hens. Try it and see.

    Just to confirm, farm fresh = battery?

    I asked the butcher for a free range bird and he gave me a farm fresh one.

    Hence my question.

    Rather stupid name for intensively farmed don;t you think.
