From Farm to Table
Meat
is harvested from animals. Have you ever contemplated the question,
when during harvesting does it happen that an animal transforms to meat?
For our customers the transformation from animal to meat
happens at our facility. Local farmers sell livestock to their customers
and then we come into the picture, providing the service of
processing.
All of us at the Story City Locker are sensitive to the transformation
of animal to meat. We believe that awareness of and sensitivity for the
process is valuable, not just for us but for everyone.
Small
production farming decreases environmental stress, increases
trace-ability, and promotes appreciation for healthy food and eating.
Knowing our food and where our food comes from is good for us.
Story
City Locker supports local & regional food-supply from small production farmers,
and all of their diverse farming practices. We invest much time
knowing who our local farmers are. Our membership to Practical Farmers of Iowa is invaluable for relationship building with Iowa's small production farmers committed to developing sustainable farming practices. We are proud of our relationship with the organization.
When you're looking to invest in an animal for processing, we can refer you to farmers whose farming practices match your food priorities. We also have small quantity purchasing available through our retail butchery.
