Come and getcher MEAT!

What? The farmer's markets are closing already? Did we even have a summer? I must have missed it when I blinked!

Yes, sadly, it is true. The bright, fresh veg is quickly becoming a memory we will cling to until next June, but that doesn't mean you can't eat local. The roots have been soaking up all that good sunlight and energy, and we still have meat- right?

Right!

So, clearly it's time to fire up the old MEAT MEETS again

What is a MEAT MEET, you ask?
Well, allow me to enlighten you!

Every now and then- when the mood strikes us, or perhaps just when it seems like it is high time, them lovely folks at Stillman at the Turkey Farm, and we of Cuisine en Locale, coordinate a meat drop off meeting.
So as to make it more carbon-friendly, they also give you the opportunity to tell them what meat you want, and they will bring it in from the farm, just for you, because you demanded it.

Here's how is works.

In the comment section below post your wish list.
Stillman has pork, beef, lamb and chicken, and of course there will be turkey soon too!
Before coming in from the farm on Saturday they will read those comments and bring what you have asked for.
Then you show up at the meeting time, and you can buy your meat straight from the farm- hormone, antibiotic and middleman free!

The first MEAT MEET of the year is THIS SATURDAY (yup, day after tomorrow- you got it)
This meeting is going to take place in the parking lot on Bishop Allen Drive, right before the intersection with Colombia St. (The same lot that Steve Parker drops his CSA in).

The truck will be there at 4:30pm and will stay until the last person is served. Please come at 4:30 if you want to pick up meat.

You can see what sorts of cuts might be available on Stillman's website. Write your wishes in the comments below, and hopefully they will have what you have asked for. They will also bring extra- they always do, and you can buy that too!

Don't forget to post in the comments below, so they know what you want-
See you on Saturday!
