Grass-Fed Beef in Maine: Where to Buy
Maine has one of the strongest direct-farm food cultures in New England. A significant number of small farms across Cumberland, York, Penobscot, and Kennebec counties raise cattle on open pasture, and the state's network of natural food co-ops, among the densest in the country, provides excellent retail access to local and certified grass-fed beef. Portland's thriving food scene has created strong consumer demand that local farms have responded to. Dirty Dog Farm, a New York-based direct-to-consumer operation, includes Maine in its weekly Northeast delivery route.
