Hi Kay!

I did use the web to find the farms.

here are some links...

At the bottom of this page, you can click on other states, like New Jersey, etc.

You can also just use a search engine like...

http://www.google.com/

And put in your state (New York) and/or surrounding states, and then put "grass-fed" "farms" "bison", "elk", "deer", etc. I found other farms this way. Like there is a site for MEFA (Missouri Elk Farmers Association) that has a huge list of farms in Missouri. And another for Deer Farms. I just searched on my Street Atlas program for the cities or zip codes to find ones near Kansas City... then I have just been calling & visiting farms. I have already found a place very near to get beef, pork, lamb, chicken, turkey, rabbit... and another place to get bison... and so on...

I have an upright freezer that holds up to 500 lbs of meat, but I don't plan on having anymore than 2-300 lbs around at one time... want to have it as fresh as possible. Plus, I don't want to pay extra for vacuum packing and such. If you get 1/4 of large animals and 1/2 of smaller ones, you usually get a good enough price break versus buying by the cut. I average about $3.00/lb for all the different meats & cuts (which is pretty good for the high quality meat you get - and believe me, when you taste it you will know how good it really is).

Hope this helps.

Good luck.
