Meat, wonderful meat!

Have we taken the time to praise Seven Sons on this blog? I don't sleep enough to remember, so if this is a repeat, my apologies.
Seven Sons is located in Roanoke, they have chicken, pork, beef and more that I don't even know about. Grass-fed, hormone free.
We are the proud owners of half of a pig from Seven Sons. We visited the farm store and saw the pig that would become our dinner. The pigs were running free in the mud and they did look like they were living good pig lives. Our eldest says as she is scarfing down ham: "This was a happy pig!"
If you aren't interested in such a large investment, you can find roasts & chickens either at the farm store or at the Three Rivers Co-Op. The Co-op also has packs of hamburger patties. You get 1 lb or 3 patties for about $5. These are GOOD burgers. Highly recommended for local carnivores.

Our family would second this recommendation. Our eldest now requests "more pig" for dinner.
