I grew up in the city, but my dad was a country boy and he liked to buy a 'side' or a 'quarter' of beef. I remember the beef arriving - all wrapped in butcher's paper and labelled and then filling our freezer. The worst part of that was when the freezer door was left ajar soon after it was re-stocked! Those were the days!LORIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15723186679331661816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3778348076811792815.post-48805697034793742392011-05-11T06:32:58.476-07:002011-05-11T06:32:58.476-07:00Sabdii I am located just outside of Calgary Albert...Sabdii I am located just outside of Calgary Alberta Canada, Anita and fletchingtonfarms thank you for your input, and those are very good points you make.Halhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14745836209054731406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3778348076811792815.post-14967513034597663792011-05-11T05:52:43.185-07:002011-05-11T05:52:43.185-07:00Our farm gate pork sales are the only thing that k...Our farm gate pork sales are the only thing that keeps food on our table some times. The packers certainly don't worry about the cost of production for farmers. They pay as little as possible and there is nothing we can do. Another good thing you forgot to mention is that when buying directly from the farmer you can be sure what the animals have been fed AND you can be sure you are actually eating Canadian meat. Here in Ontario most grocery store meat is American (with all the junk they are allowed to give animals).<br /><br />PaulaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3778348076811792815.post-5737783335917367682011-05-11T00:30:16.722-07:002011-05-11T00:30:16.722-07:00where are you located????where are you located????Sandiihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05361297768786000032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3778348076811792815.post-31099688832218838532011-05-10T18:49:19.451-07:002011-05-10T18:49:19.451-07:00very nice your post!
