I have been writing a few posts on eating and its implications. (1) (2) So this morning I went to the Seward Co-op to buy some grass-fed beef. They had a few different varieties available from Thousand Hills Cattle Company, but because of the price, I purchased the ground beef at $5.99/lb. (One of the cuts of steak was $17.99/lb. Perhaps another day on that one.)
It is but a small purchasing choice. But the cashier told me that the meat was very good, so I look forward to making a delicious meal for my family tonight, along with organic tomatoes and avocados to serve on the burgers.

Mmm...tomato avocado burgers.
So tell us, did you taste the difference?
I've heard that some people find it dramatic...

tp,
I didn't get to make the burgers until last night, but...OMG! It was a huge difference. We loved it! It was definitely worth the extra cash to get such good meat.
The cashier at the co-op told me that she tasted a big difference, too.
I will definitely buy it again! If we only eat red meat once a week or so, that will be the way to go.
Cool!
One of the ways I make my organic dollars go further -- I buy organic whole chickens, then throw one in a pot with a gallon of water and let it simmer for a day or two (sometimes with vegies), then pull the chicken out and strip the meat -- for enchiladas, stew, salads etc. Plus I end up with a whole pot of organic chicken broth for making said stews...
I usually end up with enough meat for two-three meals for the three of us, plus the broth -- so overall no more expensive than buying conventional chicken breasts...

That is a good idea, tp. We've been cooking quite a few meals in our crock pot this winter, and many of the recipes call for chicken broth. Yours is a good way of making the most of purchase.
