Title: Hello from Chicago...
Post by: Raw Rob on January 14, 2009, 04:06:46 pm

Hi all,

Just found this site. If there's anyone else from Chicago here, let me know. I'd be curious to hear about where you get your meat. Lately I've been buying ground grass-fed beef from Wisconsin at Whole Foods. I haven't been eating chicken yet, but I'm going to go to a couple places here where you can pick out your bird and then they slaughter it right there. I just joined a dairy co-op too. I got into this diet because I came down with Ulcerative Colitis and this diet cured me completely. Ulcerative Colitis is usually considered "incurable." 

Looking forward to speaking with you all.

Rob

People in the US tend to order deliveries from grassfed farms, preferably organic. The bigger farms include northstar bison and slanker's to name but two. Find out if there are any local grassfed farms in the Illinois area by going to eatwild.com and searching under your State.

Hey Rob!

I just joined today and I'm from Chicago too (well, a nearby suburb, to be exact).

Moograssfarms.org is a coop in Wheaton that sells a whole bunch of raw stuff.  The people who run it are raw foodies.

Hope that helps!
