Buying Meat Direct from the Farm
COVID-19 changed the way most of us do things. Many of us experienced supply shortages that we had never seen in our lifetimes. With regards to food and food products, the pandemic resulted in increased interest and demand for the purchase of beef, pork and other meat protein sources directly from producers. While this is a positive for livestock producers interested in value-added agriculture, it also has presented challenges. One major issue is that most people are not or were not accustomed to buying meat this way. They are or were unfamiliar with pricing, processing and expected meat yield. This turn of events also caused real issues for small, local processors trying to meet demand that they were not used to. The state of Missouri has worked hard to try to promote and increase local processing options. Hopefully, many of you have noticed this in the area which you live.
