🥩 WHAT'S REALLY DIFFERENT?
WHY DOES LOCAL MEAT COST MORE?💵
Let's talk about the elephant—or maybe the cow—in the room. 😂
Why does local meat sometimes cost more than the grocery store?
Because you're not comparing apples to apples.
A large-scale commodity operation can spread costs across thousands of animals.
A local operation is working on a much smaller scale.
There are farmers, feed costs, transportation, processing, labor, refrigeration, aging, trimming, packaging and all the other little pieces that go into getting that steak from pasture to plate.
And here's something else worth considering:
Price per pound isn't the whole story.
Sometimes the cheapest package isn't the best value.
CIRCLE E TRUTH 🥩
Cheap meat isn't always cheap—and expensive meat isn't automatically better. Know what you're paying for.
Would you pay a little more to know exactly where your meat came from?
