No, I do not. Where I live organic, free-range chicken is about $10 a pound. My budget will not justify spending 4x as much as what the basic bird cost by the pound.
I do shop at a local grocery store. Attempt to buy as much as I can of American food products, and buy organic for many items. There are a number of reasons I do these things. I feel they are important both on my end as the consumer as well as at the opposite end concerning production and what my spending habits ultimately say about my priorities as a consumer.
