Organic bulk meats, does anyone know of any farm to get meat inexpensively

[Raineyrocks]

Hi Everybody,
I've looked online but most of the farms are in Vermont and expensive for grass-fed beef, organic pork and chicken. I was wondering if anyone knew about any in New Hampshire that aren't online?
I know Hannaford's has some organic meat selections but they are pretty expensive and I'd like to find out if anyone sells it cheaper in bulk.

call the Lebanon/Hanover or Concord food coops and ask to speak to the meat department to see if they have a local supplier.

Here is the site for the place in Concord:

Much of the expense in "organic" food is the record-keeping requirement and certification process. If you can find a local farmer raising meat to your acceptable standards, you can buy directly from them without the "value added" tax of being "officially" organic.

I went to a wine tasting party at a local restaraunt recently and they served the venison from Bonnie Brae Farms and it was delicious!

Venison is incredibly excellent if you know how to prepare it.  Yum, glad to know that place exists.

I like thin sliced steak, pounded and "chicken" fried with country gravy.

In looking at sources of raw milk I found this site. Some of the raw milk sources are also sources of meat.
