Title: do you buy your food from a farmer instead of grocery store - Meat / Veggies?
Post by: MB_722 on April 27, 2009, 11:50:17 AM

I need to find a farmer, I don't want to buy my food from the local grocery store.

Do you have a local farmers market?

Depends on the grocery store.  Whole Foods is great.......lots or farm fresh meat and veggies.  I get my milk from whole foods and it is raw and comes from organic pasture dairies.  I get my grass fed beef from there as well.  But Albertsons, Pavillions, Dierbergs, Schnucks, Vons, King Soopers, Safeways, no I wouldn't buy beef or veggies from those places.  Veggies maybe but beef no way in hell.

vegetables are fairly easy to find. I want nice cuts of beef from a farmer. Also some chicken.

MB, you should shop for the veggies at the farmers market.  You might be able to find someone there to point you towards someone who raises natural fed beef, etc... too.

What state are you in?  Whole Foods are all over the USA.  Might have to drive 30 minutes or so but they all have very high quality beef, chicken, seafood.

I buy my fish from a fisherman, my milk from a milkman, and my drugs from a drug dealer.

I used to have a guy where I could get a quarter of a cow, all kinds of cuts.

Exactly.  If you could find someone to supply a beef for you to have butchered, you could get whatever cuts you want and freeze it.  Use as needed.
