There was a TV documentary, or maybe it was a movie, that made it to the small box, on a similar vein. Definitely made one think about where your meat came from. And in the U.S. some of the factory farms also recruit labor south of the border, then are *shocked* when the same workers get busted for being here illegally.

I can buy family farmed meat at my farmer's market, IF I make it to market. I generally don't buy my meat there, but I do buy my milk from the market. I know one local grocery chain carries the smaller dairy products, so if I miss market I can get my milk at the grocery. I ought to check to see if they get some of their meat locally too.

Having family farmed food available at local grocery stores is going to help the farmers stay in business. Not everyone will go out of their way to find farmer's markets, or will have schedules that permit them to get to the market on the specific day. Mega-marts aren't as willing to buy local, but the smaller chains can. Then it's up to us consumers to support them.
