Fri Jun 13 00:14:02 -0700 2003 0 saucyknave 1 970580 Wegmans and McCaffrey's carry organic and hormone-free meat products -- beef, lamb, chicken and pork, although the label hormone/antibiotic-free does not necessarily mean organic too. The Amish Farmer's market in Kingston, NJ, carries hormone-free beef, along with antibotic and hormone-free chicken and milk. Similar products may also be available at other farmers markets in the Philadelphia area. Fri Jun 13 09:32:44 -0700 2003 970577 0 Ellen 1 970595 There are quite a few places to find hormone-free beef. The best place to start is Reading terminal Market. Beyond that, you could call The Fair Food Project (215.386.9224, x122) and speak to Ann Karlen to find a farmer's market that carries. If that doesn't work, try Bob Pierson of the farmer's Market Trust (or farm to City - I forget the name of his group).

I think it is hormone free. No idea if he gets into town for the markets there, but his pitch is that his beef is from the Piedmontese cattle, which are naturally leaner and tenderer than the standard commercial market breeds of beef. Should make him easy to spot. I could make a run out to the Skippack market tomorrow morning and find out if my recollection that it's hormone free is right, and get his number.

Sun Jun 15 17:04:44 -0700 2003 970577 0 Chris Holst 2 970726 Where is the Norristown Market? Fri Jun 20 12:13:42 -0700 2003 970607 0 saucyknave 3 970760 It sets up along Main Street in front of the courthouse on Thursday afternoons. The beef guy asn't there last Thursday, though he was the week before... don't know what his story is this year. And I was away this weekend, so I couldn't hit the Skippack market, which is set up on Sunday mornings. Mon Jun 23 14:38:56 -0700 2003 970726 0 Chris Holst
