Fortunately, a couple of our local farmers who used to do the Saturday
morning thing in Maryville, set up a year round market. I can get free
range and hormone free beef, chicken, pork and lamb. It's a little more
expensive but the meat can sit in the refrigerator for several days
without any deterioration. Two of the local bakeries also have specialty
breads twice a week. One makes whole wheat with olives that is
delicious.



Can you get together with a couple of friends and share the cow? We used to do that.

I am so fortunate to live in a farming community where locally grown 
food has really taken off. I buy vegetables and eggs from two farmers 
I know personally. Meat is more of an issue, as I do not have space, 
nor do the two of us have the appetite to purchase even half of an 
animal.
