Have you ever heard of a wholesale buying club? It’s kind of like Costco for savvy shoppers who are able to pool orders together with other savvy shoppers and get amazing deals on REAL FOOD. Shhh, dont’ tell everyone about it though.
A whole new world has opened up for me this year. I can’t even remember the chain of events that led to this amazing discovery but I know it started with reading Animal, Vegetable, Miracle and then The Omnivore’s Dilemma and then seeking out meat buying clubs which lead to my discovery of the Kenmore Milkshed (how can I be 42 years old and never even knew you could get real milk?) and then all those deals they get gave me the idea to approach other farmers and ask if they had buying clubs.

I agree! It’s amazing what you can find locally if you really try. We have a meat CSA and all meats (grass-finished beef and lamb and pastured pork, chicken and turkey are just $5/lb for ALL cuts). Plus, at the farmers market my husband and I run we’re allowing vendors to pay fees with fresh produce instead of cash and we’re giving it away to volunteers. You truly can support local farmers, eat local organic foods and save money.
