Exactly, but, as she explained to me, there's not only the matter of antibiotics, but also of no use of pesticides on the fields where they graze, and non-toxic dyes to be used in the milling. It's a real commitment not only to the environment, but to helping the craft to sustain itself in a way so as to ensure its future.
