So, last week I get an email from a publishing person from the Weston A Price organization.  I'm a big fan and believer in a lot of what they promote so it's always exciting when I hear from someone asking me if I want to be a part of their publication.

However, here is my issue.  I was asked if I shipped my products so that I could then be included in the 2012 Shopping Guide.

Ok - don't they promote buying and eating local?  Why would I ship meat?  I know people do it - but still.

Maybe I a little of an idealist in this respect.  I get calls on occasion asking if I ship - and I always refuse.  This is not the direction small farmers are trying to go (at least from what I read and from what I understand).

I still will support the foundation - but it does make me think a little.

    I think it may be because many people don't have access to good quality food. We are blessed her in Loudoun to have great farmers like your family that raise good meat. So Weston Price may be saying to folks, "Hey, if there is nothing near you, here are some great options." This is a great testament to the work and meat you provide. I know we've loved it for the last few years.
