Buying From a Local Organic Farm

For the last year I have been buying our meats from a local Farm. I was told by a friend of mine about it and was completely interested.  I buy all organic food for my family and the idea of buying organic meats from a local farm where I could actually know exactly where my food comes from and who was growing it was something I had to check out.

 All of the animals on the farm are grassfed, never administered antibiotics or hormones.  There is not a need for them since the animals are not eating things they are not supposed to.  The cows eat grass, not grains.  The chickens follow the cows in movable coops.  The animals aren't living in stalls, force fed, standing in filth.  They are roaming around as they were intended.

We actually get to see our food walking around and growing every time we go.  For the last couple of months we were able to see the progression of our Thanksgiving turkey growing when we would go to pick up our orders.  We just recently picked up our beautiful 15lb turkey and I knew the bird we were taking home was free of any of the chemicals I do not want my family eating.

There are similar farms and ranches all over.  If you search online in your area or ask around at your local farmers market you will find one.  Not only are you getting healthy food for your family, but you are supporting a local, small business.

Give it a shot.  On top of the great food we get, my daughter loves visiting the farm and seeing the animals!
