Local Food 6/23/2011

This is our fifth week of the meat CSA and the first pick up after The Great Freezer Disaster of 2011.  I’m not sure when we’ll have our second freezer back in working order, so I only picked up a package of sweet Italian sausage on top of what came in the CSA.  We also had chats with the farmer and it seems like we’ll be getting in on the September slaughter for both cow and pig.  Sadly it looks like we won’t be able to get another pork belly until then so my Ultimate BLT idea will have to be shelved until next year. 

Our CSA included a chicken, ground beef, a gorgeous London broil, maple sausage, and eggs.  In addition, I picked up some sweet Italian sausage.  Once the second freezer gets sorted out, I’ll figure out what we want to do in terms of bulk purchasing other meats.
