Looking for source of grass fed beef?

I just wanted to put in a plug for the folks at A Better Way Beef:

http://www.abetterwaybeef.com

I decided I didn't want to support factory farming, but found that grass fed beef often isn't available or is REALLY expensive. I found these folks who have a ranch outside Brenham and deliver (for free) to Houston, Dallas, Austin, San Antonio and everywhere in between. Their regular 25 lb beef box is $7.85/lb. 50 lb boxes are $7.35/lb.

OMG, what a difference. Not only is the beef naturally leaner and more flavorful, it's dry aged so there isn't as much water cooking out. So good. They also have pastured lamb, goat and whole hogs, as well as pastured eggs for $5 a dozen.

That is very important to me as well, and no antibiotics pesticides, etc. And really nice people. I went with the 25 pound famy "economy" box which was only $6.85 a pound. It was still 1/4 steaks, but they were leaner cuts like sirloin, flank and round steak.
