Event - The Best Way to Buy Meat

I've bought sides of both pork and beef but honestly have never quite gotten my order just right and so am excited about this upcoming event.

The Weston Price Chapter is having a meet-up entitled "The Best Way to Buy Meat". It takes place Sunday, April 3, 2011 @ 2:00 PM at the Panera Bread Hyde Park, Community Room, 3806 Paxton Ave Cincinnati, OH.

One way to make food more affordable is buying in bulk and meat is no exception. It's possible to buy a whole side of quality meat from local farms but what does this mean when it comes to amount of meat, types of cuts, etc? This meeting will cover the topic in detail- what preparation do you need to buy in volume? what will you get with this type of purchase? what are the options in meat cuts? what do you need to ask for and what is standard procedure for the farmer/processor? how long will the meat last? who has had experience with buying in bulk? which farms offer this option? what can I do with the parts I am not used to buying?

Space is limited so please RSVP at http://www.meetup.com/realfood/
