Eat locally (meat) - help requested

I've finally found a place (Chestnut Farms, http://www.Chestnutfarms.org) that will let me purchase a pork-free meat share. Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] skreeky for setting me on the path.

The challenge now is figuring out pick-up. They've got a drop-off in Arlington, but it's only from 5-6PM, which is not easily compatible with my and Pygment's work and kid-pickup schedules. I'd love to find someone who's also interested in grass-fed, hormone- and antibiotic-free meat and would be willing to pick up my share at the same time as they pick up their own. It comes pre-frozen so storage shouldn't be difficult until we can arrange a swap.

If someone near to me is interested, check out their site for share sizes and pricing - the lowest end is 10lb/month for a six month commitment. I may try it anyway, since K will soon not be going to school in Chelmsford, but if someone has a more flexible schedule that'd be great.
