Clover Field Meats

Today, I am very happy to say, we discovered Clover Field Meats just south of Marshall on IL Highway 1 , not so very far from us. We chatted with the very congenial owners for awhile and it looks like we may have found a very good source for beef and pork. Although the meat is hormone and antibiotic free and pasture raised, they are still fed corn for the marbling. Hey, we are taking steps and this is a major step in the right direction. Just like the organic milk that I buy from the store is not my absolute ideal with the corn fed dairy cows, this is OK. I still feel good in taking this route. Also the owner seemed very open to talk to us about raising a beef for us and keeping it from any grain! Win-win. His overhead for that beef would be reduced and that equals more profit for him and we would get our corn-less beef. (smile)

Please do go and check them out if you are looking to upgrade your beef and pork. Another plus is that it is local and sustainable. You can rest assured that this meat was not shipped from Argentina or even from 1500 miles away in the USA. It's a very good thing.
