The chickens have been huge and very juicy. We have been getting 3 meals out of every chicken! Really, all the meat has been delicious. My husband especially enjoys the lamb which is from a variety of sheep that is about a year old when killed. We really feel that this is essential for enjoying lamb and not feeling guilty.
Another reason we chose this CSA is because two farms have teamed up to give you a great variety of meat. Because the meat comes frozen SOLID, you have to plan your meals more carefully. The chickens usually take 3-4 days to thaw. Roasts without bones about 3 days. Smaller items 1-2 days in the fridge. I know we are spending less. Planning better and of course eating healthier too.
Anything you want to know the farm will tell you. You can order extra meat to your specifications also. This October we got a turkey! It was smaller, but their first attempt at growing them. I am excited to be a part of that!
After reading multiple books on factory farming joining a meat CSA is the only way I will continue to eat meat. In November 2009, a book called "Eating Animals" is coming out by Jonathan Saffron Foer and it tells the whole story. I also recommend Michael Pollen's books too!
I would highly recommend this meat CSA to anyone who eats meat!
