Buying meat - looking for suggestions

[Miss.September]

So next weekend we can finally go and get our meat from Greenvale meats...except

We went to our local farmer's market this morning, didn't even know it was there and it's awesome. We bought free range pork, grass fed beef and lamb. They have everything we've been looking for right there! So fingers crossed it all tastes fantastic. If all is well, then we're going to save up our money and buy a months worth of meat at a time each farmer's market.

Sounds awesome PRM!!! I just had a look at their site and it sounds awesome plus reasonably priced as well. Do you have a deep freezer??? DH doesn't like freezing meat but I don't mind and it means I am organised in advance! Will have a look at others as well!

we're trying out Aussie Farmers Direct - first delivery of meat, eggs, milk, bread is due tomorrow, first fruit & veg is due next week. Will let you know how it goes!!

let me know how Greenvale goes - I'm very interersted in making use of local produce, where we can afford it, as I've been reading so much about human trafficking being involved in the food and produce industries

I know that I can't assume all local food is free from slavery, but it sounds like it's a lot rarer ...

mmmm, sounds great!

I have to find out what farmer's markets are out east, my side of town!
