grass fed meat

[stellar]

So i am currently reading the paleo solution, and want to do the 30-day challenge as part of the next 6-week challenge.. The only issue I am having is finding grass-fed meat. I shop mainly at chain grocery stores, and have been having trouble finding grass-fed meat. I have no problem finding "vegetarian fed" meat, but not specifically grass-fed.

Anyone know where I can find grass-fed meat at a reasonable price? Most of the big chains are available (Waldbaums, Stop N Shop, Met Food, Key Food, Pathmark), and if anyone knows any local places in Brooklyn, NY that would be even better!

Also, anyone do the paleo challenge without being strict on only having grass-fed meat? How were your results?

Thanks!!

I've been doing paleo for 6 months, with great results, and have yet to eat grass-fed meats. Buy it if you can find/afford it... but it's not going to stop you from getting results if you can't get it.

whole foods in the city, don't know if there are any locations in brooklyn. I understood that there were a lot of butcher shops in brooklyn, but my 411 may be dated.

I just did a quick check in Localharvest.org and found 10 places in Brooklyn NY that sell farm fresh veges and some have grass finished meats. Go there and see what you can find. Looks like there are some vege CSAs that partner with some beef, chicken and pork producers to have both meat and vege shares.

But if you can't find grass finished meats that's ok too.
