Oh -- and you can get it through Organic Pastures. If you call them,

they will deliver it to the Los Angeles hub store for pick up on Sat

afternoon. Steaks, ground beef, etc.

You can get grass fed beef from Rocky Canyon Farms. They are in Atascadero

but sell at the farmers markets in Santa and Hollywood.

You ladies brought up a few places and I appreciate it...here are my

thought processes, I looked at every place on the eatwild.com page and

they are none of them RAISING their beef in Southern California, why is

that important, it means to me, that there are very few places serving

a population of 24 million. Mebbe some of them don't particularly want

to drive to LA to get their beef and don't particularly want to pay

large shipping costs. I'm calling it my market research. Thanks for

the input.

I recently spoke to someone from a grassfed Central Cali operation and

found out that they have TONS of inquiries from down here. My original

question was if there were people living around here who would buy my

excess at prices lower than the health food stores, I have been bitten

by the farming bug and DH just wants to know if it's going to be

somewhat profitable.

I would! I have friends who would, too. And you could meet with the

various WAPF chapters in SoCal -- there are a few.

When are you thinking of getting started?

I would love to get started asap...life being what it is, it means

selling or renting my house. And getting into a larger piece of

property. I have a lady willing to sell me a Guernsey calf, but

really I need a cow, I just have to find one that is not too far away

if possible. I have been trying to get into contact with my local

group but the person who is on the list is not responsive so I guess

I will cast my net a little further.
