I will re-list the foods, and put my recommended brands in bold next to them.
Here we go!
Meat: (Grass Fed & Organic)
We have a local farm where we buy all of our organic grass fed beef. Check out www.eatwild.com to find a farm in your area, or www.realmilk.com, as many farmers who sell milk will also sell beef.
- Meat bone soup or stock (We use homemade, I rarely buy store bought stock, as many organic ones have MSG in them! Anything that says "yeast extract" is actually MSG!)
- Liver and heart (must be organic) (I must admit that I've never been brave enough to try liver but our farmer does sell it!)
- Lamb Our family loves lamb! We buy it from the Whole Foods meat counter- there is usually only one local brand available. Check out your natural health food store.
- Buffalo We love buffalo too! Buffalo burgers are particularly good. We get ours from the Whole Foods meat counter.
- Elk We have never eaten elk, let me know if you try it!
- Venison We have never eaten vennison, let me know if you try it!
- Beef - See note above
- Goat We have never eaten goat, let me know if you try it!
- Veal We have never eaten veal, let me know if you try it!
- Jerky (with no chemicals, nitrates, or nitrites) I rarely buy jerky, but I do know you can easily make it at home with a dehydrator. If you do decide to buy it, just make sure it has no chemicals, nitrates or nitrites as listed above, and comes from grass fed beef.
- Beef or buffalo sausage (with no pork casing) Applegate Farms has some really good organic beef sausages and hot dogs, without any pork, and made from grass fed beef.
(The availability of fish will vary based on your area. Check out your local natural health food store for the best wild or ocean caught fish available to you.)

My husband's parents are from Africa and as such they eats lots of goat. They love it! I found it kind of tough, but then again they tend to cook it into a jerky type of meat. We also love lamb. Cornish game hens are a holiday favorite around here. We are lucky to have an HEB and Central Market close by. They sell lots of locally grown organic produce and grass and grain fed antibiotic meat. I also love their prices. HEB is close to a Walmart so they are priced competatively. We are also getting a sprouts soon, which is an indoor Farmer's Market type grocery store. They sell mostly natural products, and health food.
