Double Down Suicide What do you think?

I will eat grass fed pastured beef from a small somewhat local farmer. I kinda have to know the name of the farmer before I will eat the meat.

Good plan

We are getting half a pig soon, and while I can't afford entirely pastured meat yet, I do know the farmer and can see the farm anytime I want. I know it is cruelty free, farm raised and non-cafo. It's a start.

exactly. It's a start. I can't do a half pig or cow or anything - I have only my tiny freezer in my refrigerator. But I did find a farmer who sells small quantities. So we all do what we can.

I asked the farmer how she could sell such good meat at such reasonable prices and she said it was because there was no middleman. I either go to her farm to get the meat, or make arrangements to meet her somewhere in between. It's not as cheap as supermarket meat can be, but it's not as expensive as I thought it would be.

I got a 3-4 pound roast, a large sirloin steak, two porterhouse steaks, three pounds of ground beef, and a pack of stew meat for $48. Does that sound like a lot? I haven't bought meat in so long I have no real frame of reference.

Just guessing but it looks like you paid around $5-$6/lb?

Not bad for good meat...especially with the steaks in the mix

I thought so but I wasn't sure. My daughter had one of the steaks and she said it was delicious. And the ground beef- well, there would be no going back to store meat on that. It is dark red, almost no shrinkage, and tastes like I always imagined beef should taste.
