We typically buy the cow and that gives just over a years worth of meat.
And we do not eat meat EVERY meal. We do meatless Monday lol. We eat meat most days and have a few days a week where its meat free.
I'm currently going through all the "permissions" I need to turn a piece of the property we are renting into a garden for veggies. They may as well allow me because the land isnt being used for anything else .....so why not? We take very good care of the property and we keep the outside of the house nice and tidy. They allowed that massive deck....so they better let me plant a food garden.
