Local farms don't process meat in according to the farmers markets schedule. They process meat when the animal is ready to be processed. During the time at the butcher the meat is frozen so there really isn't any "fresh" meat at a farmers market. For example cattle may be processed in June and that meat will be sold frozen at the market through the summer and into the fall. That said the meat will be locally raised and you can ask the seller questions about how the animal was raised and processed.

Thanks for your comment! I agree to an extent with your statement. Local farms do process meat when the animal is ready. Local farmers here process meat that gets them through a certain period of time and to fill outstanding orders. For small local farmers that normally a month or two. They try to continuously have process dates scheduled throughout the year to keep up with market sales and order fulfillments. It’s frozen because USDA requires that for resell and because like you mentioned, what doesn’t sell that week can be kept frozen for future sales. I would differ with you when you say there isn’t any fresh meat at a farmers market. That may be true in some instances in some places but not all. We agree with you that customers should ask the seller questions including how it was raised, diet, and process. Thank you for your perspective!
