Be prepared for sticker shock. Thu Jan 17 12:24:22 -0800 2008 3305569 12658 zataar 1 3305734 I usually go with the Good Nature Farms meats and eggs, available at Hen House and some Price Chopper stores. There's also an operation out of Lawrence that looks interesting: http://www.amysmeats.com/ Thu Jan 17 12:31:05 -0800 2008 3305432 14230 heatherkay 2 3305774 What about McGonigles for beef? Is that local? Thu Jan 17 12:38:45 -0800 2008 3305734 141043 jdl98 3 3305824 They're a local butcher, but I don't see anything on their website about the source of the meat they're cutting. Thu Jan 17 12:49:50 -0800 2008 3305774 14230 heatherkay 2 3305949 We're GNFF purchasers as well but the selection of cuts is limited.- as for Amy's Meats...I've purchased from her in the past. Very good quality. She'll now be available in Kansas City once a week. Thu Jan 17 13:23:45 -0800 2008 3305734 71270 goroe 1 3316942 Sadly, Bill Kurits' (of SE Kansas) has no outlet here. He moved back to Sedan, KS to start a ranch w/ family. All grass fed meat - it's great. You can order from them online. http://www.tallgrassbeef.com Lots of places in Chicago have his meats.
