where our food comes from...

I've been trying to be a more cognizant of where our food comes from.  We've been purchasing our meat from the Raising 5 Cattle Company out of Granger.  It has been great to have beef right on hand, since we purchase 1/4 of a calf at a time.  That has lasted us around a year, but maybe less this year...  Now I need to find a good place to find chicken and other meats.  Suggestions?

We have also grown veggies in our garden, which we started last year.  This month we decided to buy more local produce, and Tessa found Farmhouse Delivery.  They obtain fruit and veggies from several local farms and deliver them to your house either weekly or every other week.  Today we had our first delivery!  Yea!


We have grapefruit, green onions, lettuce, broccoli, beets, avocados, green garlic, carrots and turnip greens.  Some items I don't cook with very often (turnip greens and beets), so it will be fun incorporating them to our diet!
