Where do you usually buy your meat?

[atikovi]

Online, from the Amish.

HUH? Many of the Amish don't even have electricity? Probably even less have tech.

I wish I had a good butcher shop nearby. That has always been my preferred source for meats. But we don't right now.

So most of my beef and pork come from Costco. The rest from the local market.

We have a Mennonite community in our valley. One of the families has a food truck that sells donuts. To advertise their schedule of what locations they will be at, they have a friend of the family, who is not Mennonite, run a Facebook page for them. Perhaps the Amish are selling their meats to a retailer, who sells and advertises the meats as Amish.

Usually Earth Fare or The Fresh Market. More expensive but better meat than the grocery stores like Kroger or Walmart.

Beef & pork from a local farmer, all other meat from grocery store or Sam's Club.

Just my $0.02

For whole chickens we butcher our own. We still end up buying packs of frozen chicken breasts and thighs from Aldi throughout the year.

For beef we usually buy half a cow from neighbors when they send several off to be processed.

We eat a lot of deer(usually 5 a year)in this family. Depending on size they can either got to the butcher shop or I’ll cut it up myself.

Whatever turkey I get in season gets processed at home.

Any lunch meat comes from the grocery store. We don’t eat a lot of pork but it usually comes from the store as well.

We did that once but all our neighbors in the cul de sac freaked out and the HOA went ballistic. We have been banned….

We're fortunate enough to have several, good, substantively different sources for nearly all the world's foods.
I buy locally butchered meat while in the country mostly to support our neighbors.
The meat and fish quality at the everyday chain grocery store is quite good.

Milkhouse Meats

 

[Pablo]

Local ranchers/farmers for the most part.

We do buy chicken at the store. But pig, lamb, beeves locally and somewhat rotational.

Never had a bum steer, usually if anything a bit lean. That's when you can tell the difference between a ribeye steak and a ribsteak. Wife and I love grass fed, and sometimes/often discuss the favor in cuts, ranch, if grain finished compare, etc....have some spent barley malt finished beef. Super tender, but very neutral flavor. We tend to like grass/wild grass all the way, maybe not as tender, but the aroma and flavor are so so good. Almost like lamb.

 

[Dave Hess]

All our meats, vegetables and produce bought at Publix.

 

[Bighorn2500]

Beef comes Farm store, brother & I split a 1/2 steer and put it in deep freezers. Usually get 20-30 lbs of chicken breast with it.

 

[Malo83]

Local meat locker or Costco.

 

[tedsweet]

For chicken, ham, lunch meats it is at the Grocery Store.
For beef and other pork products I buy at a butcher store. I like their quality/taste better.

How about you?

walmart

 

[Wolfshead]

I buy Meat from Food Lion and Save a lot.

HUH? Many of the Amish don't even have electricity? Probably even less have tech.

The Amish around here all have cell phones for work, electrical tools and a generator on a work truck. Homes not so much but for work they do.

 

[wpod]

I have that option because I know some people that raise cattle however I really don't have any place to store all that meat

Buy a freezer

 

[PandaBear]

A local Vietnamese store. They have a much better variety of cuts including certain types of bones, organs, etc. I see a lot of pho shops buying from them as well. I can't find banana shank from a non Asian place.

Whole Foods sometimes sell similar stuff other than the organs (I don't eat organs) but they are at least 30% more expensive, but the environment is much more comfortable and cleaner.

I understand people wants to follow a certain lifestyle and stay away from modern technology, but as a business they have to use the newer technologies to stay competitive or they would be out of business.
