Grass Fed Beef

We purchased two brands of grass fed beef from our local Publix today.  Excited to try both.

I have been primarily purchasing the Laura's Lean beef from our local Krogers, but we really wanted to try to find a source of grass-fed beef.  

 The Maverick Ranch brand is not local.  It comes from Colorado and cost us $8.49 for a lb.

 The White Oak Pastures brand is from a local farm located in Bluffton, Georgia.  I really do prefer buying local as it supports the local farm community and requires less energy for transportation to market.  Plus, an unexpected bonus in that is costs $6.99 for a lb.  This is only .50 cents more than the Laura's Lean we have been getting.

This shows to me that there is a trend slowly growing amongst supermarkets to provide quality, grass-fed beef to it's customers.  Good on Publix for offering this. 

Burgers and other experimentation will be soon to follow, with a review, of course.
