That just makes it more organic. :D
Free range air is elusive.
Is it Kosher For Passover?
Yes there are people stupid enough to buy this. Remember bottled water selling for more than gasoline? Bottled water? You have to be kidding.
There’s a sucker born every minute. With the circus gone, someone must fill the void.
