  Where can I buy non-factory farmed meat in Seattle?

  1 0 At one point in time, I didn't approve of Certified Humane's standards, and wrote about it: http://woolypigs.blogspot.com/2009/07/humane-farming-dead-piglets.html I recommend you raise your own animals, kill them yourself and cut them up yourself. I have a very different relationship to meat from animals I've killed and cut up myself. I treat it a lot more dearly. If you've got a backyard, you ought to be able to raise, kill and eat a few chickens or ducks that way. Heath Putnam Farms answered in Meat 9 months ago Answer, comment & read 5 more answers »

  Is there anywhere I can buy guanciale in Seattle?

  0 0 I'd make my own from Mangalitsa jowls (available at Chef Shop in Seattle's Interbay) or order some Mangalitsa guanciale from Salumeria Biellese in New York City. Heath Putnam Farms answered in Meat 9 months ago Answer, comment & read 4 more answers »

  How do I learn to like organ meats?

  3 0 I suggest you try recipes made primarily of meat and fat, with a tiny amount of organs. E.g. liver sausage composed mostly of meat and fat. Heath Putnam Farms answered in Meat 9 months ago Answer, comment & read 9 more answers »

  Is there a "dirty dozen" and "clean 15" type list for meat? Are certain types of meat more or less important to buy organic or hormone-free, etc?

  0 0 I don't make purchasing decisions based on whether or not meat is organic, because I haven't seen anything to convince me that it will impact my health one way or the other. I'm essentially living on a meat diet composed of my own product. Heath Putnam Farms answered in Meat 9 months ago Answer, comment & read 5 more answers »

  Anyone here doing Paleo?

  3 0 I'm eating paleo. I'm eating the product I can't easily market. If you want to eat paleo cheap, I recommend you find someone that produces the stuff you like and ask them what's their cheapest stuff that they can't move. That will be cheaper than buying a whole animal, as a whole animal includes desirable cuts. If you will take the stuff that nobody else wants, you ought to be able to get it cheaply.
