LMW, ESF - Bay area locavores

I just found this awesome meat CSA in Point Reyes that follows the philosophy of Joel Salatin - yes, the guy from Omnivore's Dilemma. After that book tore down my beloved Rosie chicken from Petaluma Poultry I've been discouraged about the availability of truly sustainable meat for someone who doesn't have a deep freezer, and actually considered for a minute going back to vegitarian. I am so giddy about this possibility I could squeal.

This is the awesome source by which I found them:

I'm so glad I decided to read Omnivore's Dilemma even though it's basically preaching to the choir. It's really refocused and recommitted me.

  • Oh awesome.  I'm going to check these out and show them to DH. 

    Are you signing up?  If you do, let me know how it goes.  We may be joining you.

  • I have to run some numbers and take a look at my freezer, but I think we might. I'll let you know how it goes!

  • Unfortunately they don't deliver to a locale near me. And, we just don't eat enough (red) meat to justify the cost. How awesome that something like this is available though! Wonderful!

    Coincidentally, f you ever find a dairy CSA, PLEASE let me know b/c I would really like to join one of those. We (me) consume so much dairy it's insane!

  • I'll let you know if I find anything, LWM, that's the one last thing I need too. We buy Clover, but I was driving through the coast near Petaluma past a couple of their farms last weekend and spied some feedlots between the trees.

  • Just wanted to brag a little and say (though I generally miss the quality of food in Northern CA tremendously), the one bright spot is that that farm in Omnivore's Dilemma is quite close to here and sells in town! ?Score!

    Deductive reasoning isn't a conservative or liberal attribute. ~epphd
  • I'm in Marin, and found this farm a few weeks ago! I should have shared! I, too, am so, so excited! I am from about two hours away from Joel Salatin's farm, and I was so bummed that I hadn't heard of it before I moved out here.

    Now, I can go to my very own!
