About this list

This list was compiled by the Blue Sky Lives blog, a NW PA-based resource for those seeking alternatives to factory-farmed sources. A more detailed version of this listing can be seen at Blue Sky Lives blog at http://blueskylives.blogspot.com Please note that terms like humanely-raised, free-range grass-fed compassionate and even pastured arent solid standards. It is a good idea to visit the websites and locations of the farms and businesses listed here, to get more specific information about their standards. Vegans, of course, reasonably argue that humane would mean no animal products are consumed. Find Blue Sky Lives on Facebook.
