I can see the difficulty with running such a service, but just wanted to see if anyone knew of anything similar. If not, where do you like to buy local meat in SF? BiRite? Ferry Building? Elsewhere?

Prather Ranch finishes on grain and the Omega-3 levels are only minimally lowered (enough) so that I get the meat flavor and not that fishy flavor.

You can opt for CSA style deliveries in July, Novermber, and March. Thu Apr 16 14:35:08 -0700 2009 4594294 182589 bex109
