Hi Bronwen,
I phoned Pick 'n Pay "Country reared meat" head honcho and asked him whether the animals are grass or grain fed.  He said that they were grass fed.  He said I was to send him an email and he would reply officially.  I need to name our organisation... I think maybe RPD's South Africa, and use a logo. I found a lovely bushman painting of an Eland, so maybe will use that as a logo.  As soon as I put together a letterhead, I will do the email.  Do you approve of the name and the logo?
Cheers,
Dillis.

Hi Bronwen and Andvan Wyk "?",
Thanks for the info.   I have been buying meat from Pick'n Pay.  It is part of their "Country reared" program.
They guarantee that the animals have not been fed growth hormones, antibiotics, steroids etc.  The larger supermarkets sell it.  It is not in all their stores.  I get mine from PNP in Park Meadows shopping mall (near Eastgate shopping Centre).  Norwood, Fourways Crossing and Northgate also stock it, but I have found that the staff at Northgate arent very helpful, and the hygiene is questionable.  Park Meadows staff are friendly and are honest, and their butchery is spotless.  If they have meat which is not country reared, they will tell you so.  They also sell eggs which are labelled "indigenous" and come from a farm called Boschveld.  I have been there, and their eggs are truly free range.  A few people who advertise "free range" arent in fact truly free range.  What they mean is that they allow the chickens to walk about in an open enclosure, with no grass to be seen.  They are still grain fed.
I was hoping that if we could find enough people, we could form a little group who could visit the places who advertise free range and see for ourselves.
Bye for now
Dillis

Hi Bronwen.  I am in Gauteng, live near Meyerton, travel to work to Melrose North. Often in East Rand.  I am only wanting to start RPD, but dont know where to get grass fed beef from.  I have three hens, and they lay beautiful grass fed eggs.  I could get more chickens, and they will be grass fed.  Where are you getting your meat from?
Cheers. Dillis.

Hello.  My name is Dillis. I am in South Africa.  I am contemplating going on to the RPD, and am reading everything that I can on the subject.  I have been doing the paleo--- excluding grains, beans and potatoes, and my health has improved, and I have lost quite a bit of weight.  I would like to ask Bronwen from South Africa where she gets her grass fed beef and chickens from.
Looking forward to chatting to everyone
