[QUOTE="badaxemoo, post: 639170, member: 3926"] I don't mean to be critical of your plans, but I think you are going to get some confused customers. Unless farmer's markets in your part of the country work differently than they do where I live, it is typically the farmer that produces the meat (or fruit, vegetable, etc) sitting at the table selling it to the customer. In fact in many markets it is a rule that this is the case. People generally go to farmer's markets to get local food and to buy directly from the farmer. When people ask questions about the beef you are selling, will they be confident in your knowledge of how it was produced, given the fact that someone else raised the animal? I wish you well, but I can tell you from my somewhat limited experience that I would not be able to sell my beef and pork at the prices I do (a lot higher than the grocery store - but less than the natural food co-op) if I bought the meat from somewhere else and was just selling it.
