It is a ton of work. If I didn't work at home I don't think I could pull it off. Not everyone can just go downstairs and throw a pasture raised chicken salad together or fire up a bge for lunch or have grass fed smash burgers off a blackstone on a whim.
Plus all the curing, butchery, and bread making etc. I like doing all that stuff and have time but It's not for everyone. We spend a lot of time cooking and cleaning.

Thank you for the nudge. I have to start doing more shopping at the farmer's markets around here.Cincinnati, Ohio. Large BGE since 2011. Still learning.

@The Cen-Tex Smoker i've been getting into this as well. But my choices seem to be limited in Alabama. I have 2 farmers that i can get product from either directly or at the farmer market's starting in April. The ground beef has been phenomonal so far, but for the price of the steaks, i have been disappointed with the tenderness. Haven't tried chicken and pork yet but that is available at the markets.
I'm giving these guys a second chance on the steaks this year, but will be sticking to ground beef only if they let me down again...Wetumpka, Alabama

We have been using any extra or unwanted beef and having a "chinese" night roughly once a month. I either use my own sauce or buy the PF Changs bottles at Walmart.Wetumpka, Alabama

Had the 100% wagyu burgers tonight. Wow! That is some incredible beef. It’s better than all the grass fed I’ve had. Im really trying to eat more 100% grass fed but there is a clear difference in flavor with the grain finish. I may just eat less and eat the good stuffKeepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX

Similar to the lean whitetail and the sage like flavor of deer who feed on brush and foliage down there vs the deer up north who have an all you can eat boofay of corn and beans, there is a difference in both flavor and texture.
My buddy from Bama who is here just commented tonight again on the flavorless pork down south. He's a true foodie with a great palate , so I value his honest assessment.
Always got a kick out of my buddy Ripnem's sig line, it's true...

Now it’s just getting weird. This guy has a wagyu ranch in N. TX but lives 3 minutes from me. Just did a shady Facebook meat deal at the park while his daughters were playing on the playscape. $6 lb for 100% wagyu ground and $12.50 lb for skirt and flat iron.
Everyone in the house agrees that last nights 100% wagyu burgers were the best beef we have have ever done burgers with.
I have a brisket and and a chicken coming from the Rosso and Flynn place Sunday and 2 fat pigs headed to slaughter Friday.I need more freezer.

That Flat Iron looks like the truth! Glad to hear about the burgers. You've found a keeper with that source. I was checking prices at the grocery store yesterday and saw $5+ for their 80/20. You got a steal!Wetumpka, Alabama
