Love this post…I was intrigued when I saw “Cowpooling”; only wish I had come up with the term. We are one of the “local” farmers that sell the beef, and I can tell you from first hand experience, it is good stuff. Most of our clientele are family and friends. But we have been doing this “aggressively” now for 2 yrs. and we are growing.

The meat is tender and tasty, but you can do things to make most cuts of beef “good”. The thing I like most about our beef has already been pointed out…no hormones or unnatural matter that makes the beef grow excessively fast. Also, the stress level in the cows are low…they are born and raised right here on our farm.

Anyway…I just wanted to let you know I love your post.

To Neal W. -yes I know his post was in 2008-

“Buying local” when you are talking about an agricultural product is also protecting the open space, view sheds, and property values in the towns one lives in. I am all for buying everything local too but when it comes to supporting local agriculture there is a huge payoff to the community above and beyond the “local economy” argument.
