The blind enthusiasm for factory meat is concerning.

Any farm suggestions?



Not unless you’re in BC. Start with your local farmer’s market, a lot of ranchers will sell there and can arrange for larger frozen boxes or cattle shares. Look for grass-fed and grass-finished. The ranch I recently bought from even grew large leaf kale to feed its cattle over the winter. You can literally taste the local grasses and the land.

It’s more expensive, but you treasure every bite. When it’s something you’ve hunted yourself, you couldn’t imagine letting a scrap go to waste.


I know of Polyface Farms in Virginia, used to get whole chickens and cows from them working in some high end restaurants in the area, and they’ll ship to you: https://www.polyfacefarms.com
