No feedlot-fattened meat

Toby Paltzer, who runs a beef and poultry farm near Freedom, last week butchered some chickens and turkeys and sold us some.

Paltzer, who also serves as Outagamie County executive, operates farms on the side. He also gave us beef patties that were processed locally and some eggs to try. This week we cooked all of them. You can taste the difference. The egg yolks are big and rich orange in color. The chicken tastes like chicken. The beef is lean. You can tell it’s not from feedlot-fattened animals.

We’re set for the week with leftover turkey slices for lunch. Thanks, Toby.
