@ Luc:

Its a fairly big market, I'll post the link as it might be easier to get a hold of them that way. Prices are not that off from the grocery stores in the area.

You might be able to even buy a quarter beef for a good discount if you have freezer space. If they don't have something to suit for needs, there are tons of small producers in eastern PA near NJ that maybe able to serve you. Quite a bit of stuff in NJ as well. A nigerian friend of mine goes out to a farm near Easton to buy fresh goat, and another guy I know gets lambs from a sm local farm near Somerville, NJ. Typically those places you buy a whole or partial animal and save it in the freezer. Not as convient as buying a lb of burger from the local Stop and Shop, but is often of much higher quality and can be quite a bit cheaper in bulk. That was the only way my cousin sold his beef.

You are the man. I do have the freezer space. Back in Brasil we used to roast whole pigs we killed. Fresh is always good. I don't know many places here in NJ, but I used to go to a few great places in Florida. If I'm not too busy in the summer time, I'll get a Brasilian BBQ going and you're invited.

Edit: See if your friends have info of the places in NJ please?
