One of our local butchers (15 minutes drive) has closed down because of family illness. Our closest butcher is OK (5 minutes drive), particularly for sausages. The best butcher is 20 minutes away but their meat is sublime.
I will buy free range chicken from the supermarket but my red meat comes from one of the local butchers.
We are also fortunate to have three outstanding seafood retailers within 20 minutes drive. That has meant a slight decline in the amount of red meat consumed in the DJC household.
Interestingly, several of the local businesses are heavily into marketing US style BBQs and smokers, all of which rely on top quality meat (often red) and in cuts not offered by the supermarkets.
