I love Holbrook Farm in Bethel.

I found this site a few weeks ago. Great concept. Looking at "new this week" there is a while chicken 6-8 lbs for $8.25. Is that the entire piece or per pound?

I wish I could find one place to get meat, eggs, butter and milk from! I'd prefer to buy direct. Grass fed is still uncommon here and unfortunately I need to stay on it

Check out Stonewall Dairy in Cornwall. Also Stewart Family Farm in Bridgewater for grass fed beef.

Where do you live?

I love Arethusa in Litchfield. They have a small retail shop in Bantam- milk, cream, butter, cheeses, ice creams, yogurt - everything is amazing. And Next door to the retail shop is their restaurant. A number of local independent grocers carry their products too. If you check out their website, I'm sure you'll find a place near you. Otherwise, it's worth the drive -- it's that good. = )

Some places I've shopped in the past for such things:

The Robert Treat Farm in Milford Connecticut . Authentic Family Farm and Garden Center . Farm Share Program in Connecticut (produce, produce farm share program)
The Villa Gourmet - The place to find gourmet foods and artisanal cheeses in downtown Milford CT (grass fed/raw milk, eggs, cheese, meat)
Home - Chamomille Natural Foods
New Morning Natural & Organic - Home
Edge of the woods
https://craftbutchery.com/ (grass fed meat)

For the most part, it's easy enough to find local eggs and grass fed meat at Whole Foods too. No raw milk though.

Glastonbury area, so I try to stay east of the river for stuff like this. I work in East Windsor one morning a week so that opens up a bit larger of an area.

My jobs typically keep me working 7 days a week from March - December so driving an hour each way even once a month for food is not high on my list of fun things to do (and I do like to drive, it's just finding time!).

I've spent the last year looking at little places and I've found a bunch that carry milk and a few that do beef. Butter is almost impossible to find. So far I found Enfield and possibly Bolton. Bolton didn't have it the one day I went there and I haven't had a chance to go back yet. They are self serve and someone that was picking up milk swore he'd seen it there before.

Whole Foods is way too rich for my blood for that stuff. $2 more per pound than the farm for ground beef. I'm done with that place. Same with eggs, tons of places in Glastonbury I can buy fresh eggs.

I thought I found another site recently that sold shares of their animals locally - super expensive up front but you were looking at a quarter of an animal. Maybe it was through the site posted above.

Or, you can wait for a sale at Fairway on PRIME and pay alot less than what Craft charges for just grass fed.

I'm certainly not endorsing the prices of Whole Foods, it's just another option

Shopping at WF would be a surefire way to lose weight! LOL

Even S&S is more expensive than the farms and their stuff is from Uruguay.
