Local, Grass-fed meat from Homegrown Meats - La Jolla Butcher Shop

According to Caron at San Diego Foodstuff, a new butcher shop is opening next month in La Jolla called Homegrown Meats (7660 Fay Ave). They will be featuring locally raised grass-fed beef from Mendehall Ranch on Palomar Mountain as well as local wild turkey, ostrich, lamb, chicken, and duck - all hormone free. Go to the their site right away and click on the link "tell us what you'd like." Be sure to note grass-fed meat and make sure they know you want free-range poultry too!

I'll be back again soon with my final post - can't believe it's been a year already!

Melanie, I want to thank you for doing all this research and sharing it. Your blog is a valuable resource!

very cool! I'll be curious to learn where they source everything from. some pastured-raised poultry would be so nice. I found some "local" chickens at a Whole Foods up in LA, but they were from Fresno and I can't tell much else about the operation from my little internet search.

Anyway, yes, thank you for all of your work!

Does this mean that your blog is going to end?

E - yes, it does, although I'll be keeping it up and running and will be monitoring it, so the information will still be available.

Thanks for this info, my family and I will be passing through La Jolla next week and we will check it out.

Local poultry would be awesome--especially when you invite us back over and cook some for us!
Oh, wait...is it our turn?
