We buy our beef from a local, small, organic 'hobbyist' once or twice per year (then into the freezer). We get our eggs from two local, small, 'side-liners and our chicken and turkey from a regional, but free-range, producer. Only the pork is from who-knows-where. Plus, we're not big meat-eaters in any case.

Funny thing is that our 'kids' (35 and 32) rather dislike our beef, because it tastes 'gamey' to them. To my wife and I, it tastes like the beef that we used to get before we had chilluns - in other words, the good stuff.

It must be because we live in the Pacific NW, which doesn't have much of a factory meat-production industry, that this is news to me. I knew that it existed, but I had no idea that it was ubiquitous.

Don't feel so RvW, I remember when the Kent Valley was mostly dairy farms!  :-(

(LOL)

There's a lot of dairy farms left out here, but I doubt that there's even one in Kent nowadays.
