Sun Prairie Beef
Jeremy was doing some internet research a few weeks ago on Eat Wild, right before we purchased our new freezer and came across Sun Prairie Beef, which is located in Yuma, CO. They provide grass fed, free range beef to the Denver and Boulder metro area. And they are running a sale on the last of their meat for the season. We ordered an ecomony box which included some of the lesser quality meats but was only $112.45 for 25 lbs of meat. They also have a roast only box which is 25 lbs spare ribs or roast for $99.95.
They offer several pick up locations around the metro area, and we drove down to Denver to pick ours up one night. We’ve since had the spare ribs which Jeremy braised, and top round roast which we grilled and added to some udon noodles. Both were delicious, and Jeremy says he likes it better than Lasater Beef where we usually buy our grass fed beef (they have since raised their prices and become less affordable).
I just checked Sun Prairie’s website and it looks like they still have 1 economy box and 3 roast boxes in stock. If you live in the area, it might be worth trying! We were very happy with the whole experience and will probably be buying from them again in the future.

Though I'm not a huge fan of red meat these days, I'm sure with you guys cooking it, it would be delish!

Thanks Angie! I wasn't much a fan of red meat until lately, Jeremy started getting me into it more, and now i really like it in stir fries and on salads. Plus knowing where the meat comes from, it isn't as gross to me as it would be if I just bought it at the store. :)1

Have you guys sourced a place for white meat/seafood options? Those prices sound pretty good for red meat - since I don't buy it in bulk I usually end up buying cheap red meat cuts like stew beef or flank steak to save money. But I also don't cook it too often either since Min and I both avoid eating too much red meat.

We go to this little grocery store Rocky Plains right now to get chicken, i wrote about it a while back, it is run by a buffalo rancher but he stocks other places grass fed meat as well. But, we just found a co-op that sells chicken and turkeys, and we joined that, I don't remember what it was called, I'll have to have Jeremy write a post about it. We are supposed to go pick some of their chicken up in a few weeks. Seafood around here is hard to come by in general, so there isn't really an option for that. The same little grocery store does stock wild trout and salmon, but it is really pricey so we haven't bought any yet.
