Meat, meat and more wonderful meat!

Recently there has been a local butcher, Jamie Waldron, who decided to start up a meat share program.  The meats are all from ethically raised animals as well as hormone and antibiotic free.  The cows and pigs are pastured; they are fed grain as well but are also allowed to feed off the pasture.  The lamb and chicken is barn raised but is from a small scale farm which allows for plenty of room for the animals to roam.  So far we have purchased the beef and lamb; we have been very pleased with the quality.   The beef boxes are all different with a variety of cuts in each box.  The lamb box consists of half a lamb.  We split the lamb box with my Mom not thinking about how small a lamb actually is.  So far we have been very happy with the meats and plan on purchasing the chicken in April.  Knowing that the meat is "clean" and ethically raised also gave me a great feeling of satisfaction.  Feeding this meat to myself and my family provides some peace of mind that you don't get from some un-labelled, shrink wrapped piece of meat from ???farmer??? at the grocery store.
