Grass Fed Meat, Raw Milk, Pastured Egg Sources....and Football in China! 2-27-11

Ok guys, this will be a short post.  I have been working on the next post for the last few days, gathering sources and doing a little research...you know how it goes.  I should have that one out later today or early tomorrow.    Again, I want to say thanks to all the support you guys have been giving to this blog. But in the meantime here is some good info for folks in the DFW area.

I found a great source for grassfed and pastured meats by accident.  The name is Woods and Cuds Natural Meats.  They don't have a website yet but they are working on it.  They are located at 5801 East Highway 67 in Alvarado...phone 817-783-6328.  They have great quality meats and some of the best prices I have found.   They sell all natural meats, nothing added, everything is pasture raised and/ or grassfed.  Their cows are from Happy Texas and roam and graze freely until harvest.  Its family owned, they make their own sausages (the chorizo jalepeno sausage is awesome) and carry buffalo and venison as well.   Some of the prices are $1.99 lb for chicken breast, $4.99 for sirloin (great price), $2.99 lb for ground beef, $6.79 ground buffalo...I could go on. This is hormone/preservative free pastured, grassfed meats! If you live in the DFW area, check em out when you get a chance and let them know that I recommended them. 

And just a little further down the road is the farm (about 15 mins)where I get my raw milk and fresh farm eggs.    The milk is $6 per gallon and $4 per 18 ct eggs...the best eggs and milk I have ever had...and best prices.  If any of you have children with food allergies, you should really look into the raw foods and pastured eggs.  If you have questions about the benefits of raw milk check out the Weston A. Price Foundation website and to learn more about raw milk check out this podcast from Jimmie Moore's site.  I have a list of all these sites and a bunch of others listed on my blog on the column to the left listed as "Cool Sites."

And finally I wanted to put a shout out and congratulations to my cousin, Memo Mata.  He currently lives in China and just got teacher of the year out of several thousand!!  Also, he has made history.  He has two sons that he has been raising and decided to start a football league for them and other kids.  Since then it has exploded and he now, officially, has created the first American Football League in China!!! Unbelievable.  He has a website for his football team that chronicles their origins and progress.  They are called the Sea Dragons.    Ed Wang, from the Buffalo Bills, recently visited the football team and did some work with the kids.  I encourage everyone to check out Memo's site to give some support.  Football for kids in China...amazing.  We are all proud of you Memo! 

Next post coming soon.
