Fair season is about to start and one of the best ways to get great locally raised products can be from buying it at the fair. Seth Teter wrote a great guide for Our Ohio on how to buy meat at the fair. Plus it's also a great way to support the young people raising the animals.
the best kept secret in buying local meat?
by Seth Teter
Many people are seeking assurances about what they’re eating. They want to know who produced it, how it was raised and that their money stays in the community.If that sounds like you, the livestock auction barn at your local fair may be your ideal shopping destination this summer. You can chat with the young farmers, scope out the animals and see the impact of your purchasing power. On top of that, it’s a whole lot of fun.
