Event Announcement: How to Buy Local Meat

From CCE-Tompkins County

How to Buy Local Meat
Thursday, May 14, 6:30-8:30 pm
Tompkins County Cooperative Extension, 615 Willow Avenue, Ithaca NY
With all the excitement about local foods in the Ithaca area, people are inquiring about local meats. Many consumers are confused by claims like “grass-fed,” “natural,” and “organic” and are unsure of how to use the various cuts of meat. Come to this free workshop to learn more about buying locally raised meats. The class will include an overview of the claims and terms used in meat marketing as well as an introduction to some livestock farmers that raise sell local meats. Admission is free, but please preregister so we can prepare sufficient handouts, by calling 607-272-2292
