Kosher meat and cheese I'm really wanting to start keeping kosher but none of the grocery stores in town carry kosher meats or cheeses. So...
Can anyone recommend a...

Try checking first with your local Chabad to see if they order meat, and if they're still doing it at this point in time.

Local grocery stores will also commonly do special orders of stuff, so long as you buy the entire case. E.g., "Empire split chicken breasts come in a case of 36 bags for $375. We won't carry them, but if you want all 36 bags we'll order it in." Now is probably NOT the time to ask, what with the COVID shit, but once the hoarding and panic-buying settle down it should be fine. Also, if you haven't checked the hippie/health food/crunchy stores, you might be surprised; none of the supermarkets in my area carry any significant amount of kosher meat, but the local food co-op has all KINDS of kosher meat. And cheese.

Grillerspride.com for meat there is no kosher anything where I live and my shul and the nearest kosher grocery is 2.5 hours away. So i make an order every couple of months and they ship pretty cheap, $36 for up to $200 in products.

If you’re in America: some brands of cheese already have a heksher and are therefore kosher. In some parts of the US Trader Joe’s carries kosher meat.

Both [Kol Foods](https://www.kolfoods.com) and [Grow and Behold](https://www.growandbehold.com) are solid options for meat. [Block and Wedge](https://blockandwedge.com) is The Cheese Guy's online distribution platform.

Peaceful Pastures, Field of Dreams, Westwind Farms and Top of the Hill have great pricing for truly clean meat. Rolling HIlls farm, Wedge Oak, and then there is Mother Earth Meats and they are a great deal. MEM is gmo free, and pastured, but not soy free I believe.. Callie Minton? Allen's Acres has good chicken on occasion as well.

Peaceful Pastures CSA is wonderful!! Their 6 mo CSA at ~22 lbs/mo works out to ~$5.40/lb. Their meats are fully pastured - no grain finishing etc. And delicious.

Mother Earth Meats has the best tasting organic beef and chicken I've ever had. Their prices are competitive with Kroger, but meat is just expensive no matter where it comes from.

I second Mother Earth Meats! Excellent!

Allison Fenbert Throckmorton asked about "Label Rouge" this is a type of chicken that is slower growing than the typical Cornish Cross with a more proportional body size....versus the Cornish which is produced for their large breasts. Label Rouge is the French name for these birds....the common name in the US is "Freedom Rangers".... www.freedomrangerhatchery.com

Make an offer on your local Nextdoor app for neighbors in need? Or mail a check to your local foodbanks?

You can purchase items and stock up a [Little Free Pantry](http://www.littlefreepantry.org) near you. Look on the map for locations in your area, then email the steward (box minder) about donating funds or goods.

Sometimes Publix will do that and may be doing that now. I haven't been out in weeks.

Here is one in Atlanta that you can donate directly on their [website](https://www.acfb.org/). It doesn't seem like it's a church. You can also go to this [site](http://feedingamerica.org/) to find other local ones. I donate that way to my local one. But my local stores do the donate at the register a few times a year too.
