Since
there are no labeling regulations
defining place of origin
for meat, you will want
to either buy from a butcher
you trust, or hitch your
chuck wagon directly to
the source. These area
ranchers are raising natural
beef, pork, and/or lamb,
and free-range poultry.
Check the supplier's websites
for ordering information,
or to see if their product
is carried in a local market.
