Pittsburgh Farm Fresh Meats

The answer is often as close as your nearest butcher shop or farm and includes farm fresh beef, pork, lamb and poultry. You can even find local sources for farm raised rabbit, venison and other game meats. While local butcher shops offer made to order cuts & small quantities of meats, most farm sources sell meat in whole animal, half or quarter portions. If that quantity doesn't fit your budget, freezer or family, arrange to share the purchase (and cost) with a friend or neighbor.

These days, buying beef direct from the farm generally means you will get pasture raised, grass fed beef. This beef can be organic or non-organic as well as antibiotic and hormone free or not and any combination of these characteristics. Grass fed beef can be a little more expensive than grain fed beef and the health benefits of each are the subject of current debate. To fully understand the product you are buying, talk to the farmers and find out how they care for their herd. As with fresh produce, buying fresh meat from the farm is seasonal and most farmers require advance reservations for your purchase to ensure availability. Some farmers also encourage farm visits for you and your family so you can really get to know where your food comes from.
