FixFood’s Online Shopping and Eateries Map App Making Antibiotic-Free Meats Now Easier To Find

FixFood has gotten together with Real Time Farms to create FixAntibiotics, an online interactive U.S. map platform that allows consumers to enter their zip code to find meats raised without antibiotics at farms, farmers markets, retailers, and eateries across the country.
