Jesse Laflamme, Pete and Gerry's CEO, dispels egg labeling confusion

This week on the Farm Report we see the return of guest Jesse LaFlamme from Pete and Gerry’s Organic Eggs. Jesse goes in depth about why big agriculture has gone the way it has with sometimes over 600,000 hens being stuffed in cages in a single barn and why he chooses to keep his chickens cage-free and certified humane. Tune in to learn about the life cycle of chickens and their breeding and laying patterns as well as what exactly a pullet egg is. Remember, an egg a day will keep you healthier and happier! This episode is sponsored by S. Wallace Edwards &amp; Sons.   “Everything is mechanical and down to an exact science [now] . . .it takes out the nuances that farmers usually have in terms of the relationship they have with their animals.” –Jesse LaFlamme on The Farm Report

Episode 107: Jesse LaFlamme Pt. 2

This week The Farm Report is pleased to welcome Jesse LaFlamme, head of Pete And Gerry’s Organic Eggs, the first Certified Humane egg farm in the country. Pete and Gerry’s is proving commercial farming and organic, humane, sustainable farming are not mutually exclusive. Pete and Gerry’s has realized consistent growth without becoming a factory farm. Jesse recruits small family farms as egg producers, keeping family farmers in business and protecting valuable open space. He combines state-of-the-art husbandry and farming technology with streamlined and efficient processing to make Pete and Gerry’s cost competitive with much larger operations. Those efficiencies also allow him to share those margins with his producers. Jesse is one of the new breed of 21st Century farmers who understands that the world needs commercial farms to feed its inhabitants, but needs to do it without degrading the environment and exploiting livestock. This episode is sponsored The Barterhouse.  “[Farmers] just want to be farmers, it sounds basic, but in today’s big agriculture that is hard to do.” -Jesse LaFlamme, head of Pete &amp; Gerry’s Organic Eggs on The Farm Report
