Thank you all for the great suggestions!!!

I live about 45 min out in the country from a small town. We do have a few different grocery stores and a Sam's Club nearby. No ethnic markets. We have a farmer's market but no one sells chicken (Colorado laws prohibit). I haven't been bothering with vegies as of yet but the leftover idea is a good suggestion. We also have several restaurants but I don't have personal connections with any of them.

The closest working dog club is 4 1/2 hours away. I'm starting to try to go every now and then so maybe I could combine orders with someone there. I do have a couple of big freezers for our own cows that we butcher so storage shouldn't be a problem. I've been feeding her MM from our own beef and we're running out! She's been eating a king's diet out of convenience (we're only a couple of months into this). Can't afford to keep doing that. Still, it's the RMB's that I'm most concerned about. We butchered 20 of our old laying hens about a month 1/2 ago but she's blown through all of those already too! I don't want to have to do that every other month. It's a pain. I'd rather buy them already plucked and gutted at least.

Sounds like I just need to beat the pavement and do my research. I'll let you know what I find out. I'm trying to keep the chicken organic, or at least steroid/hormone free. I hope that's not going to complicate things. At this point I'll take anything though for the right price.

Thank you all again!

If you're in the southwest or close you might consider these folks. They'll ship for $15 a box but I'm not sure if that includes cases.

They have supported the raw community in Arizona for several years.

That is pretty expensive...just the backs alone are double what I pay. Did not look to see if those prices include snipping. Plus they are frozen...I like buying fresh.

I think that if you keep looking you can do better.
