Most of you know that Nicky and I really like to eat good. We often prefer to eat as fresh and local as possible. The main reason being we know where the food came from. And to be honest most of the time the flavor and nutrition value increases as well.
I have spoke about our garden and chickens (eggs and meat) but there are some things we don't have on our little homestead. Beef, Lamb, and any other large animal that requires a fence!!! Hopefully one day we can have some if not all of those but for now we have to buy it if we want it. We long decided that we would prefer NOT to buy mass packaged meat if we can keep from it.
So long story short... we buy from a local farmer that has a small shop in Columbus called
Bluescreek Farm Meats.
If you want the best then thats where you go!! BUT more importantly they are more than willing to teach you about the cuts of meat and to even give you recipe help if you need it. I recently discovered a blog that one of their butchers started and I wanted to share it with you today.
His name is Tim and the blog not only offers knowledge but a ton of pics as well. The blog is called
Fishmonger vs. Butcher. I think many people would explore other meats and cuts if they knew more about the meat itself. You can also check them out on Facebook.
Below are just a couple cool pics from the farm!!
This is Dave the head HONCHO at Bluescreek...that is when his wife, daughter and son aren't around!! Good People!
And this is just a DARN cute cow!!
Your right on with buying fresh meat and veges,better yet raising your own. I like your blog.
