[QUOTE="Wisteria Farms, post: 628857, member: 6734"] Well, we were at Shop N Save and my husband says, "come look at this!"...so I go over and read the pkg of meat he's looking at that says the source of the meat was any of Mexico and (forget the other foreign countries listed). So, we go to our local packer and pick up some cuts I didn't have in the freezer. Feeling pretty good about our purchase (like we were eating local meat). Today we're in the farm store and run into an old friend who says, "Hey! I was in ____________packing and asked her if I was eating local meat and she said...."No" so I asked her who's meat I was eating and she said, "I don't know...he gets it from a big facility up north". She was so...mad and is going to probably start getting her meat from US. First, we couldn't believe the coincidence that we were just looking at/talking about that and then for her to say the same thing...but second, he's not even using local farmers to fill his retail freezers! What a crock!! We're spittin mad. This brought up a topic that I know has been discussed on here before, but we can't even be sure we're getting our own meat back!!! Now husband wants to process it right here on the farm... Any of you done that? Does it have to be USDA inspected on your own place? [/QUOTE]
