You'll also be very pleasantly surprised by how much better the meat is. If you don't live near a farm, all of the little farm stores around here that sell local produce also sell local meat. I know one local farm that sells meat mail order. Their meat is pasture raised and very excellent - pork, beef, chicken and turkey. They also do pickup sites in Virginia.

Right??!! I think what I am most surprised by is how my body reacts to the cleaner meat. When I do eat food with chemicals, my body seems to immediately know. I have chicken (of course, eggs also) and pork right now. I have rabbits, milk goats and beef that are a little too young to process yet but they are in the mix. Eventually plan on getting a milk cow. I think buying locally from farmers is going to be the wise choice going forward. I am increasing my numbers so that I will have the ability to sell direct to consumers.
I'm making jerk rabbit for dinner tonight. We have rabbits, chickens but just for eggs. We might get some meat hens next spring. I'd like to get some goats, especially for milk.
