Today was a grocery adventure and a half! I set myself the goal of finding local, grass fed meat and boy did I ever! After a quick Google search I happened upon Svetec Farms. We got plenty of quality meats at reasonable prices and met with farmer, Paul Svetec. He was incredibly friendly and informative. All of his meat is grass fed and certified organic. The farm is only a twenty minute drive from my house and is located in Hampton Ontario. You can check out Svetec Farms by clicking on the pic of Paul and his family.
Pictured above is the bounty we came home with from Svetec Farms. Gluten free pork and beef sausage, stew beef, beef liver, farm fresh eggs, ground beef and a couple of packets of seeds for our garden. I typically make it my mission not to spend more than $8.00 on meat per family dinner and I am pleased to say my mission was accomplished today. They won’t have chicken again until July but I am eagerly anticipating picking some up!
Our next stop was Healthy Meats in Whitby Ontario. This shop is a ten minute drive from my house and has an excellent selection of Ontario meat. Including chicken, beef, pork, lamb, bison and fish. The Beef is all grass fed and I was able to buy beef hearts and chicken livers here, which have not been easy for me to find. The prices are also very reasonable. Click on the photo below to go to their Facebook page. The shop owner was super friendly and even recommended some cooking techniques. There is a lending library of cookbooks on site as well.
I picked up beef heart, chicken livers, soup bones and some gigantic local garlic! I can’t wait to use all of my new ingredients! The organ meat is going to be quite a challenge for me, but is an important part of the Wahls Protocol. I will be scouring around for good offal recipes and will post my findings on here.
Lastly we made a stop at Feel Good Natural Health Store in Oshawa Ontario. This is an excellent store with an excellent selection of supplements and food products. They have an online store that delivers to both Canada and the U.S. https://www.feelgoodnatural.com/ Here I picked up some local raw wildflower honey and I can’t wait to taste it!
It was a very successful day as a hunter gatherer and I didn’t break the bank. I end my day feeling inspired and excited by my new ingredients! I am so happy to live in a place with so many resources for fresh healthy food.
