Sun Apr 01 16:32:23 -0700 2007 78351 rosso 1 2441473 Please see this post from a few years ago. Don't know if the info is current: http://www.chowhound.com/topics/86046?query=mendocino%20meat You may also want to go to the California (not Bay Area) board and type Mendocino meat (or Willits or Ukiah)as your search terms. A few things came up when I did that. I also used Google and more things turned up. Good luck and have fun.

Perhaps if you contact sopme of them, they can sell direct and/or advise you about where their products are available. http://www.eatwild.com/products/california.html Fri Apr 06 09:14:51 -0700 2007 2441075 14537 Jamie Rudman 1 2671689 Try the Forks Market, on State St. north of Ukiah. A bit further is my favorite, the Lakeview Market in Lucerne. Its a bit of a drive, but the meat is better than Safeway meat by a long shot.

It's got a real butcher and they have great service. Tue Jun 26 22:37:05 -0700 2007 2671689 14957 Stan
