If you’ve ever been interested in buying meat by the whole animal from a local farm but didn’t know where to start, I’ve written a book called There's a Cow in My Freezer: The Complete Guide to Buying, Storing, and Enjoying Pasture-Raised Meat in Bulk. It walks you through the entire process, from finding farmers and deciding what and how much to buy to choosing a freezer to meal planning. (If you’re not a fan of shopping on Amazon, the book is also available from Barnes & Noble and at The Meating Place in Hillsboro.)
