Thanks, Amber. I like finding out about under-the-radar stuff like this.

That’s good to know. I’m not aware of any programs like that, and when I wrote to New Moon Farms about it, no one responded. I wonder if it was on Treehugger?

Just earlier this week I read a blog article somewhere from someone who participated in fractional cattle ownership. Basically, the author owned 1/4 of a cow, paid for 1/4 of cost of its care, and got 1/4 of the meat when the animal was slaughtered. That’s basically a CSA for meat. I wish I could remember where I read about it, but I know it exists.

Well, I can understand this subject might not interest vegetarians or those who limit their consumption of meat, but there’s not really any other way to preserve these animals than on farms.
