Before Blue Silo, where would you buy meat from?
Local grocery stores and Sam's club

What made you first try meat from Blue Silo?
I was looking to start buying our meat at a local source, and with the price of beef going up I also wanted to find an affordable way to eat some of the more pricier cuts of meat.

How do you usually buy from Blue Silo? 
I usually buy bulk packages - We buy a 1/4 Cow at a time [The Ferguson family buys a 1/4 Cow every 6-8 mo.]

Why do you shop that way?
I find it to be the most economical.

How has buying meat from Blue Silo changed the way you shop, plan, cook or eat?
I make recipes according to the meat that I have in my freezer.

What difference have you noticed between Blue Silo meat & store bought meat?
I never have to worry about the quality of our meat.

What else do you want to share?
I have loved buying the meat in bulk. I have gotten cuts I would never buy and it has made me try new recipes.
