Eating Nose to Tail


Meat CSA 09/21/2010
 
After spending the summer sharing a veggie CSA with a buddy of mine I'm totally hooked.  Community Supported Agriculture is the way to go - no grocery shopping and different produce every week.  Not to mention supporting local farmers.  There is no downside.

These particular buddies whom I shared the CSA with happen to be are vegetarian, so I branched out on my own to join a Meat CSA.  Small farm in Mass, who will be supplying us with 5lbs a month of humanely raised beef, chicken, pork and lamb.

I couldn't resist asking about getting some offal, and some other more interesting cuts.  Turns out that they pack a box of cuts free for the taking at all pick ups!  This information has turned around my day.

If you're in the Massachusetts area check out Stillman's at the Turkey Farm for some local, humanely and sustainably raised meats.

I did their CSA, it was lovely! We split a half year share with Christine and picked up alternate weeks.
Whole chickens are rare but worth it when they show up, they taste like the old school chicken I remember.
Good bacon.
The only thing I was not in ove with was how the meat was butchered and since Blood Farm out in Groton is the only abattoir in MA it would appear they didn't have a choice, but my dream is one day these small scale farmers can team up with artisan butchers.
check out Concord Fish and Prime in Concord. They are offering some really interesting ways to get great locally raised ,grass fed meat.

It's top secret but I've also joined a CSF for my fish - trying to eat more fish since I found out my cholesterol is high :(
