boyst Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 (edited) Hey jboy, is this a company you could sell you meat to? https://www.zayconfoods.com/ ABC Good Morning America had a segment about them this week... http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/video/grocery-discounts-deals-drive-meat-market-brings-big-17480807 Good company. It is similar to a cost share agricultural program (CSA). In these programs you pay a membership fee. They deliver or allow you to pick up shares of the farm. I am working with local farms to start a similar group as we all grow. So far it is between an orchard, several gardens, and a jam and jelly group. I hesitate getting in bed with a company and using their umbrella. However, I will give them a call and maybe be among the first to get them nearby. Edit I hope I do not bring agriculture up too much. I really think there is going to be a food revolution in the next five years. I want to share with people the importance of a good diet. Whether Vegan or a steak and potatoes guy, knowing your food is the most important thing you can do. I wish I could find CSA's for everyone here. Edited October 17, 2012 by jboyst62
BuffaloBill Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 Hey jboy, is this a company you could sell you meat to? This is a question that is not appropriate for boards where children are present ......

Now it's people from all walks of life going there. Ya I actually like reading your insight on it. I work in the environmental field so i hear about CSAs a lot but mostly in the hippie sense. I like reading what the farmer has to say, I would think your more informed
Beerball Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 Beerball isn't signed on??? What's that supposed to mean cowboy?

Just Jack Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 (is this thread taking an inordinate amount of time to open for anyone else? the end is nigh!!! believe the Myan calendar, believe the all seeing eye) I noticed it several days ago, both on my desktop and phone. I'm afraid /dev/null is going to have to shut it down soon.
boyst Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 What's that supposed to mean cowboy? I prefer the term hayseed. Cowboy is so 1800's
BillsFanM.D. Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 Anybody hump anything today? You got a bit of Mississippi leg hound in you?
boyst Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 Im posting from a swampy messy brush area with 20% battery. A near dead headlamp and a missing cow. I should get at least a door prize if I don't win it all. And yes. I just felt like checking OTW to regain sanity.

I loved the program The Food Revolution with Jamie Oliver!

boyst Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 http://www.telemetry...beef-cattle.php I bet that is expensive. Not too feasible with my downsizing of the herd for the bridge project (down to 37, working on getting to 20 by 2Q 2013 if the Mayans don't abduct the rest first). I did have the idea of somehow getting a glow stick to each cow, though. When I first take them to "the bottom" I put a bell on two of them. I engrave the date, and the cow I put it on so if we ever come across it in 100 years it could be neat.

Give 'em some grass and their headlights will burn for 20 years. You want a door prize? I got your door prize:
