More and more grass fed organic beef is becoming available, and the more we support it by purchasing it, the more easily it becomes available.

Instructions

1. Contact your local cooperative extension agent to see if they have a local farm listing. These listings give the name of the farms and what they produce and their contact information, and will tell you if grass fed organic beef is available. If you can't find them in your phone book, search "cooperative extension 'your county'".

2. Go to localharvest.org. This site lists small farms across the country by location and products sold, including grass fed organic beef.

3. Check your local food coop. Most counties across the country have at least one, and they're trying to support local farms that produce products such as grass fed organic beef.

4. Go to the Weston Price Foundation online and consider becoming a member. Members receive lists and updates of sources for healthy foods, including grass fed organic beef. And, membership fees help promote the effort to make grass fed organic beef and other pastured and organic products more and more available.
