        <content>I am trying to find WHERE to buy grass-fed beef at any supermarket, Trader Joe's, Gelson's,  Whole Foods around this Los Angeles Area. Or even Hollywood, Los Feliz, Glendale? 

I could even find it at my local Wild Oats when I lived in Miami, and Florida is not widely known for its organic, grass fed, free range habits....

Anyone have any advice for me? 

Thanks and be healthy :)

      <content>Sometimes they have it at Trader Joe's, but I haven't seen as much lately. Whole Foods is your best bet (Glendale). Can't really think of anywhere in Los Feliz/Silver Lake/Echo Park other than TJs.
It does seem to be fairly elusive in L.A., especially in restaurants.</content>

      <content>Not sure if it's grass fed, but it the Handy Mart in burbank (magnolia and buena vista) has really good beef at quite good prices.

I hear there's a good place in arcadia too, was listed in another Chowhound thread.</content>

      <content>Right now Trader Joe's has marinated, grass fed tri-tip from Australia, also some ground beef from Australia that I think is grass fed.</content>

      <content>If you want locally raised livestock, try Kathy Lindner who sells grass fed bison at the Hollywood Farmers market on Ivar on Sunday mornings.  

There's also a guy at the market who sells grass-fed beef, but I think he also finishes his cattle with corn before harvesting.</content>

      <content>In terms of knowing it will be available, your best bet would be Whole Foods, as another poster mentioned.  The closest ones to Silverlake/Echo Park are in Glendale, Pasadena and West Hollywood (Santa Monica/Fairfax).</content>
