We get most of our meats from local farmers who set up shop once, maybe twice a week at country/farmers markets. For one thing, you're not going to ever get a better or fresher cut unless you slaughter the animals yourself. Secondly, Three pounds worth of delmonico steaks for less than $16. Most of the time the cuts are less than 6 or 8 hours old by the time I get them into my freezer (or directly to the grill). They've never been packed in ice or dry ice to preserve them
I get great meats. I support local family farms. My money stretches farther. I contribute a much larger portion of my dollar to the local economy than buying them at Big Chain Grocery Stores. The animals have roamed the beautiful central PA farmlands before getting in my belly. Everyone wins. Except the Megafarms.
