Our meat, fish, chicken, pork primarily comes from Walden. They deliver to our house once a month. It is local farm raised or wild caught seafood in a two person serving size.
We actually suspended Walden deliveries because I shot a deer in the backyard last November. I ended up with two boxes(about 60 pounds) of venison. Steaks, roasts, burger and sausage.
We also try to buy pasta sauce that is more natural. None of the major brands. Also nothing made with GMOs. Including pasta. No wheat from fields where they sprayed weed killers.
The pasta in Europe/Italy, even the Barilla, does not have the same wheat/chemicals in it that the crap sold in most of our grocery stores. The lettuce, spinach and other greens typically come from the green houses right here in New England. Like Lef farms out of Loudon, NH. Lettuce grown indoors 24/7 that is never touched by human hands. No E coli.
Basically, we are trying to be very conscious of what we now put in our mouth. Including when we go out to eat. I would rather pay more than eat crappy food from one of the chain “restaurants”.
From your description of yourself and your lifestyle, I would have pictured you with a whole swarm of friends, neighbors, and cousins with whom you could have shared your bounty.
If I suddenly found myself in possession of 60 lbs of meat, I'd have to make only two or three phone calls to members of my "in-group," and it would vanish!
By the same token, they frequently call me to ask if I'd like, say, a couple of quarts of blueberries, cherries, etc.
That's how it usually works in rural America and similar settings.
