I want to start a page on the website with a list organized by state of places that raw feeders can get what they need to feed their dogs. This can include co-ops, retail outlets, restaurant supply, grocery stores, farms, etc...
I also want to include websites you all have ordered from, or email lists that have helped you out.
This can be a valuable resource for all of us, whether you are new or have been feeding raw for a long time.
Please post the pertinent info on this thread and once we have a webpage put together I will post the link here also.
I have just started with Mountain Dog Food. http://www.mountaindogfood.com They're from Alberta and BC. Fortunately they have local distributors in Ontario, so I found one and I am giving them a try. The distributor also has raw tripe that he gets and packages in nice convenient 3 lb bags.
Poultry Products Northeast
Hooksett, NH

This is where the markets and restaurants get their meat here in the new england area.
I buy backs, leg quarters, necks....you name it. Beef as well. You must order in quantity but it's worth the trip. average prices are 49 to 79 cents per lb.
Someone already metioned Mountain dog food, here are some more:
Top Hand Supplies/Pets Go Raw: http://www.snss.bc.ca/rawfoodindex.html
They are local to me and I get to see the food being made right at their facility. They source local ingredients whenever possible. They provide food to my dog and a collegue's dog in an effort to support community search and rescue efforts.
Top Hand/Pets Go Raw is not fancy on the advertizing and website, but great product. Sold all over Western Canada (BC and Alberta) by independent pet stores and the chain "Tailblazers" that also has some other great Canadian raw food choices: http://www.tailblazerspets.com/tailblazers_food_dogs.html
I get my tripe from Urban Carnivore and have used a few of their other products. Their website is a GREAT learning tool for folks new to raw feeding: http://www.urbancarnivore.com/
Email Lists:
RawDogCanada on Yahoo groups has been helpful to many starting out that I know. I am a member of a breed related raw/health that has been invaluable (RawToller on Yahoo). I found the breed related list the best as you can speak to breeders and other raw feeders with your breed specifically, so you can keep breed related health issues, size, activity levels and the like in mind when seeking dietary/vaccine/health related advice. Not sure if other breed related raw lists are as good, but I would reccommend that folks check those kind of things out. (Guess that is kinda what Leerburg is to the pointy eared crowd )
