Eat locally (meat) - help requested

[drwex]

I've finally found a place (Chestnut Farms, http://www.Chestnutfarms.org) that will let me purchase a pork-free meat share. Thanks to 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.

Being the one that does the shopping 10lbs a month is about right for what we go though combined chopped meat (or chooped poultry), chicken and the occasional steak. But I also will get fish from time to time. So this sohuld work out great.

Nicetameetchya! I don't remember how I came across DrWex's site, but it's always good to meet folks in the neighborhood. Maybe some day I'll even meet you two in person.

Where do y'all live, anyway? I'm in Whitey Adjacent (http://okelle.livejournal.com/94412.html) :)
