Oh yeah, the farmers markets are a must! I get the majority of my produce there, along with honey and most of my meat. We have cattle ranches all round here and one sets up every week and does a bang up business. Would love to just go half a steer and stock the freezer, but not in starts right now. Goals!
Now I'm hungry for ribs lol
All my fresh produce comes from farms markets and I barter and trade stuff for honey, eggs, cheese, bread (not that I eat much), fish and other things. I trade kangaroo meat and venison I shoot myself, and some of my stuff I grow. It's a good deal.
Ribs. Now I made myself hungry for some! Bloody 10pm at night though. Lol.
How's the kangaroo? I'm well versed in venison but haven't tried kangaroo. I have chickens so trade surplus eggs for veggies from a roadside stand close to my house. It works out well. Fruit and fruit trees, plus many herbs are mostly what I grow regularly, but I really want to get better at vegetables. It's just now getting into veg growing season for me so I'll give it a go.
I won't rest easy until I get some ribs lol. I have some in the freezer but will not thaw out in time to cook so I guess I'll have to wait until the weekend. 10 p.m zzzzz.....g'nite
Kangaroo has to be cooked fairly quick generally, medium is probably the most it should be cooked...or it can be cooked super slow; any other way and it can be a little tough.
Yes, bed time here...it's 10:45 now and I have a run at 5am. 🥴
Night.
