“Every time I read about “free range poultry” I have a good laugh.”
My wife, who is not known to have a sense of humor, once cracked me up by asking a valley girl waitress in a yuppie restaurant if they had “free-range broccoli.”
You have to come to Panama to have a real good laugh.
Certainly we do have commercially raised chickens for the supermarkets. “Free range poultry” is grown by those who have to grow their own food in general. These folks are located in the interior of Panama and can’t afford city prices anyway and the chickens are raised for their own use and not for commercial use.
You should see these little feathered guys (“Free range poultry”) chasing all kinds of bugs all day long for food.
U.S. “Free range poultry” is 3x more expensive than commercially grown chickens in Panama.
There is an overload of these so called “free range poultry” from the U.S. They don’t sell too well in the supermarkets. This indicates to me no one is buying into this crap.

Tell your wonderful wife we have “free range veggies” of all kinds here since we are a tropical country…to include everything which includes mushrooms. As a bonus, we are in the middle of mango season and avocado season. (We call avocados “alligator pears” here. I believe the name came from the West Indies.)
The “free range” mangos and alligator pears that are for sale in supermarkets come out of folks yards that have been growing there for a zillion years.
Thank you for your post. My very best to you.
