How to Buy Local Meat
Thursday, May 14, 6:30-8:30 pm
Tompkins County Cooperative Extension, 615 Willow Avenue, Ithaca
With all the excitement about local foods in this area, people are
inquiring about local meats. Many consumers are confused by claims
like "grass-fed," "natural," and "organic" and are unsure of how to
use the various cuts of meat. Come to this FREE workshop to learn
more about buying locally raised meats. The class will include an
overview of the claims and terms used in meat marketing by Matt
Leroux and short presentations by some local livestock farmers that
raise and sell meats. Participating farmers are: Tina MacCheyne of
High Point Farms (beef),
Richard Sabol of Sabol's Farm (pork), Greg Reynolds of Glenwood Farms
(bison), John Wertis of BWW Farm (goat), Nancy Munkenbeck of Ellis
Hollow Farm (lamb) and Tom Quinn of Quinn's Irish Hill Farm
(poultry). Admission is free, but please preregister so we can
prepare sufficient handouts, by calling Tompkins County Cooperative
Extension at 607-272-2292.
