  • If you are fortunate enough to still have a local butcher, talk to him about getting pasture-raised beef. Butchers are in business; they need to know what customers want. They can also help you select cuts and advise how to prepare them, even furnish recipes.
  • The Internet is ideal for putting producers directly in touch with seekers of real food. LocalHarvest.org is an extensive network of farmers and ranchers; on the homepage, enter your ZIP code to access farms and markets in your area. Eatwild.com, a site run by author Jo Robinson, links to many farms raising pastured animals and provides information about healthier and tastier food.
