So, I have been doing some research, trying to find local farms that raise their animals humanely. I'm sure many vegetarians think this is an oxymoron, but I think it can be done, even if ultimately they will be slaughtered. Today, I went to the Grand Lake Farmer's Market (add us to the list on your blog!!) and talked to the folks from Prather Ranch Meat Co. They have a shop in the Ferry Building and sell Beef, Pork, Lamb, Buffalo and Vitellone (which I gather is basically veal - something I gave up eating a LONG time ago). I am still learning a lot about the different ways animals can be raised - how they are kept, what they are fed, etc. But, this place seems like a good place to start. Perhaps you could do a post on organic meat, or something along those lines...anyway, Prather's website is: http://www.prmeatco.com/mission.html and they are at the Grand Lake Farmer's Market every Saturday (I bought bacon and chorizo from them). <BR/><BR/>Hope all is well,<BR/>Anneannehawkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12890976574704512773noreply@blogger.com
