Finding Local Grass-fed/Pasture Raised Meats
  1. A simple place to start is to type in “100% grass-fed beef” (or lamb, or pork) AND the “name of your city or county” into your favorite search engine and see what comes up. Locally sourced meats are the best way to go and by far the most cost effective. Keywords: grass-fed, grass-finished, pasture raised.
  2. Be sure to check out the nationwide directory for grass-fed meats and pasture raised eggs and dairy products at Eat Wild which allows you to search for quality farm products in your specific area.
  3. Another terrific resource for finding local grass-fed meats is to contact your local Weston A Price chapter. The Weston A Price Foundation has groups all around the world set up for exactly the purpose of helping people gain access to quality traditional whole foods including pasture raised meat products. Some of the groups are more active than others, but all of them have a chapter leader whose contact information is available on the website and who may be an excellent contact person for finding top quality meats in your area. 
  4. Slow Food USA is another terrific organization that has local chapters or groups all around the US. They can help you find locally sourced meats, eggs, dairy products, produce and more!

Real Bone Broth
The most cost effective and delicious way to get real bone broth is to make it yourself. However, there are times when you can’t or you run out of bones and you don’t want to scrimp on quality. Here’s a list of some of the commercially available bone broths for all your delicious soups, stews, sauces and gut healing recipes.
  1. Kettle & Fire offers traditional bone broth made from the bones of healthy, happy pasture raised animals that is shelf stable. It’s sold at several stores like Whole Foods and online retailers like Thrive Market and Vitacost.

Organ Meats
The same resources listed for finding grass-fed and finished meats often also offer offal or organ meats such as heart, kidney, tongue, liver, sweetbreads, marrow bones, and more! Organ meats are extremely nutrient dense and contain some key fat soluble nutrients which are very hard to find in other foods. Some of these nutrients include vitamin K2, vitamin A, vitamin D and CoQ10 to name a few. The modern diet likely contains 10 X less the amount of these key nutrients than are actually required for robust health. Nose to tail eating is an important way to increase the amount of these key fat soluble nutrients that are almost entirely missing from modern diets.
  1. US Wellness Meats: offers a selection of three organ meat sausages (Braunschweiger, Liverwurst and Beef Head Cheese) that I have found to be the easiest and most delicious ways to incorporate organ meats into your diet. 
  2. 5 Bar Beef: offer organ meat sausages that are 80% mixed organ meats and 20% rump roast and seasoned. Their cattle are free-range, grazing cattle and no antibiotics or hormones are used. I haven't tried these, but they look amazing.
