Looking for info on purchasing grass fed organic beef. Where to purchase and how much. We usually buy a quarter cow. Any info would be great! Tia

I'm a vegetarian, so I recommend fake meat. • Upton's Naturals makes stuff that I think is great and I've had non-vegetarian friends say tastes like real meat. Should be in the healthfood isle at Festival Foods. http://www.uptonsnaturals.com/products/ • Mushrooms, eggs, and nuts, beans, seeds, or legumes all make good meat substitutes. • 10 tasty ways to enjoy fake meat - http://www.mnn.com/food/healthy-eating/stories/10-tasty-ways-to-enjoy-fake-meat • Some reasons to consider a plant-based diet - http://www.vegetariantimes.com/article/why-go-veg-learn-about-becoming-a-vegetarian/ • What Socrates, Buddha, Einstein, and others have to say about it - http://www.jeffryanpeters.com/2013/02/socrates-buddha-einstein-and-others-on-going-vegan/ But if you're dying for animal meat: • Steve Keune has organic meats. He's my farmer of choice for all things produce. He has a farmer's market at Terry Naturally Health Food Store every Wednesday. http://www.keuneorganicmeats.com • John Maedke & his wife Bonnie, out of Coleman, WI, make it to Terry Naturally's just about every Wednesday as well, though they don't set up shop there, it's more informal. They have organic beef and good milk. http://www.nodpa.com/ff_sept_2009.shtml • Keith, of Sweet Dirt Acres, at The Urban Frog every Saturday 8 am-Noon, as mentioned above, is a good guy + the Frog is the best around, rivaled only by Kavarna's, imho. I've bought from him at the Broadway market before. http://www.downtowngreenbay.com/farmers-market-app/sweet-dirt-acres • Beyond that, check out other people's recommendations, like Waseda Farms Market in De Pere. (I STILL haven't been to Weseda myself)
