Thanks to the Cornell University Chronicle for this deep dive article on MeatSuite’s bulk meat directory and our new Meat Math Wizard tool. The new Wizard helps local meat buyers understand bulk meat purchasing — including how much meat they’ll receive, what it will cost and how many meals it will provide for their family.

In the words of MeatSuite’s creator Matt LeRoux, “When COVID hit, the shelves were bare, there was no meat, but the local farmers had it. A local food system is like a muscle: The more you use it, the stronger it is. And if you want the muscle strong when you need it, you should use it all the time.”

Shoutout to the New York MeatSuite farmer’s included in the article: Gridley’s Cold Spring Beef Farm, Bottomland Farm and Kinderhook Farm.

🥩 Here’s a local meat secret:

Some of the best value on the farm comes from the cuts you’ve never tried. Swap a ribeye for a chuck eye or flat iron, or slow-cook a chuck roast or bottom round until it’s fall-apart tender. You won’t be disappointed!

Buying local means shopping the whole animal. The blessing is you might discover a new favorite.
