local grass-fed beef distributors

am opening a mex restaurant and want to support local farmers, etc while avoiding hormone injections.
can't buy sides of beef or whole cows/pigs, etc. but want to buy local.
any suggestions?
thanks!!!!

    Liberty Family Farms in Hart, MI does a meat CSA and is at the Green City Market every month. All their meat is grass-fed. You can google their name for contact info.

      Tallgrass Beef is located in Kansas, but it's founded by a Chicagoan (a famous one, in fact). www.tallgrassbeef.com

            My company, Dietzler Farms, supplies dry aged beef to restaurants throughout the area. It is all raised on my family farm in Elkhorn, WI. I deliver fresh every Thursday!

              Check out the people who sell at the Green City Market (the big farmer's market at the south end of Lincoln Park):
