Actually I'm a major proponent of farm to table eating and I am on a first name basis with most of the farmers that I purchase goods from, some of whom have been willing to reward such loyal customers with rather substantial discounts or throw in freebies with large purchases (my favorite is when the bison guy throws in a couple of the more unusual cuts). I just know how to make the most of what I get.
