Grass fed meat in San Diego?

Does anyone know of any places that sell grass fed/grass finished beef in San Diego?  Right now, we go to Homegrown Meats in La Jolla, which is great, but they are always out of the stuff we want and we just moved out of that area so it's no longer convenient to get to.

We really don't want to support Whole Foods and they rarely have grass fed anyway, just organic, which is free of hormones/antibiotics but corn fed.  I heard of Jimbo's, but there are no locations near us.  Any others that we are missing?  We just moved to Hillcrest, so something in this area would be great.  I checked localharvest.org, but it was really no help.  Thanks for any help!

Re: Grass fed meat in San Diego?

  • We have both a Henry's and TJ right here.  Their selection is so limited though!  The place is La Jolla is awesome, but you have to call before you go to make sure they have what you want.  And they are the only ones that have grass fed and grass finished products.  Most are just grass fed.

  • I know Cowboy Star has a butcher shop.  They may have some grass fed options for you or maybe can direct you.
  • Not sure if Iowa Meat Farms/Seisels has grass fed but I'm sure you can call them.

    Ive seen grass fed beef @ Iowa Meats but its mostly Iowa raised, grain fed beef.  They will do special orders, so it doesnt hurt to check them out.  I love getting their berkshire pork.....mmmm....Iowa porkchops!

  • Terra, you and your Iowa!  Wink  I will definitely check them out!  There's a guy selling chicken at the farmer's market in Hillcrest, and another with eggs, so all I need is a grass-fed beef supplier and I'm set!

  • i usually see grass fed beef at henry's in la mesa, but the selection is usually just strips, sirloin, stew meat, and sometimes ground :( the prices are always really reasonable though!
