Today was my meat pick up day for my farm subscription. This is my fourth year as a subscriber. This year , I ordered 1/4 grass fed cow, 1/2 pastured heritage pig, 40 lbs each ground pork and ground beef, and 12 pastured chickens. I also get 6 dozen pastured eggs per month. Once per month, I meet my farmers at the pickup location. Today I picked up 1/4 of my yearly supply of pork, 10 lbs each ground pork and beef, 6 dozen eggs, and 5 lbs of organic, fair trade dark roast coffee beans. Here's what it looks like. Notice the nitrate free bacon, and various types of homemade sausage, made with just ground pork and spices, no fillers.
I also bought HWC, butter, cheese, almond meal, pork rinds, stevia and a few vegetables today, but didn't take a picture of those. Now I'm all set !0 -

That is awesome. We are actually at Sears looking at chest freezers right now lol. Gonna have to get one before we can go that route0 -
Wow, @Kitnthecat, that's great!0

Awesome haul, @Kitnthecat . We just got a chest freezer, but need more meat in it. Will be looking for a farmer deal like you have.0

Thanks @lowjax75 . We love buying food this way and I'll never go back to buying meat at the grocery store again. I do pick up the odd pack of bacon or pepperoni, but mostly rely on my farm meat. We also get soup bones, animal fat, organs, and parts such as feet, heads and pork hocks for free, so since I am a soup maker, this is a real perk for me. I may have ordered to much meat for the three of us this year though, since both chest freezers are jam packed. I need to throw a party for all of you!0

haha, I'll be there! I love parties. Especially LCHF ones. I was tempted to do a sausage/cheese party instead of the traditional parties that people do. Get all kinds of different sausages/salamis/wursts from around the world (we have a local meat department that makes about 50 international style meats) and then get a bunch of different cheeses from around the world and just enjoy the food.0

In the spirit of meat pictures here, this one was one of the happiest food days in my life...that led to one of the saddest food days in my life.
We received 1/3 of a cow for Christmas from my dad several years ago. We already had an upright freezer we were using and stuffed it full of the meat plus a bunch of other things we had bought. It was fun to just look at all the meat in there.
Then, sadly, one day my kids (about 4 or 5) opened the door to get a icee pop (one of the very few things outside of meat we had in there) and the door didn't close all the way. It was a picky door and we normally kept it locked, but we got a bit lax about it. We noticed the next day. 80% of the meat was warm.
We tossed the meat and the freezer went shortly behind it. That's our last upright freezer.
Our kids are now 10 and 11 so we probably wouldn't have that problem again, but no chances. We have a chest freezer now.0 -
And on another happy note, I was with a group that toured one of the nicer restaurants in Milwaukee. They dry age their beef and yes, we got a tour. There are no prices on the menu. The steaks run about $100 a piece.
They trim a lot of the outside and lose about 1/4 to 1/3 of the meat on each rack. It's one reason it is so expensive, but it's a steak you truly can cut with your fork. Fantastic!

Wow! That is a steak I will probably never get a chance to eat. Too pricey for me! But I've always heard they're the best!Kitnthecat wrote: »Today was my meat pick up day for my farm subscription.

Super awesome haul you got there! I would love to buy a deal like that. I don't have a freezer and nowhere to put one in my small house

Thanks guys. Great meat pictures @lowjax75. Wow, what a meat tragedy to lose the whole freezer full ! That would be my worst nightmare. I have a lot invested in my two freezers full of meat. Next time I'm at my farmers' farm, I need to take some pictures of their meat shop and smoker. They make the best prosciutto too.
@Sunny_Bunny_, I have a small house too. I have my freezers in the basement near my washer and dryer. It's a very tight squeeze, but it can be done.0 -

Kitnthecat---Where do you get your farm fresh meat? Do you live by Olympia WA??? :-)0

Lol @Batlady49 , I'm in Manitoba, Canada. I live in Winnipeg and my farmers live about 3 hours away. They come to deliver to my city twice per month. We eat nothing but "frolicking" animals. ( No barns at all )0

If you're using the android app there isn't a option. You'll have to go on the website to add a pic.0 -
Still having dreams about this. This was on a hike to Ouzel Falls in Rocky Mountain National Park this past summer. We passed by these falls (Calypso Cascades) on the way and I can still feel that cool morning mist on my face. So beautiful. I love waterfalls!

It may be cold, snowy and windy, my thighs are frozen and my nose running. But how else am I gonna get frozen pics of the creek.

Nice picture, @auntstephie321 . Reminds me of northern Wisconsin.0

Love the waterfalls @Emily3907 !
Beautiful pix of the frozen creek @auntstephie321 ! Sounds like you had to work hard for those. Brrrr0 -
yes I'm still a little cold from it. I walk there in the summer on my lunches and learned that they plow the walking path in the winter so there's no reason not too, unless its way too cold. trying to keep up some of my healthy summer habits in the winter too.0
