ALBANY – With Thanksgiving quickly approaching, many people are stopping by their local supermarket to buy turkeys. In the wake of the recent food recalls, some people are putting a little more thought into where their food comes from. Retailers have reported an increase in the sales for free range and organic birds.
The Honest Weight Food Coop in Albany only sells organic and free range turkeys that have been locally raised. While they cost more, shoppers said it was worth it.
"I'm really concerned about how we treat poultry in general. We hear you about birds that never see the daylight, eat disgusting animal products and are injected with antibiotics and hormones," shopper Judith Salisbury said.
Over at Price Chopper nearby, employees said more customers were asking for free range and organic.
