Meat at Your Door

Bypass the supermarket and buy it direct.

After reading the thread below about CSA, I checked out the CSA website and found that Stillman's Farm delivers to J.P. They still have shares available at $250 per half and $400 for whole from June-October. I’d be...

I don’t know where the JP meat pickup is, but I do know that the meat CSA is run by Kate Stillman and her husband Aidan Davin. (Phone: 413-477-0345.) Aidan works the Stillman's stand at the Tuesday/Friday farmer’s...

Stillman's recently (as of this winter) instituted a meat CSA, with membership offered in 2 6 month cycles; for a half-share (10#/month), the cost is $450, or $7.50/# for all-natural chicken, beef, pork, and lamb. (http

I liked Kate's as well and I agree with anyone who thinks its overpriced. I went there for brunch on a Saturday because Nate & Al’s in Beverly Hills was way too packed. Anyway, the cornbeef hash (supposedly homemade) was...

I’ve been getting a 1/4 share meat CSA from Stillman's for over a year now, picking up in JP. Just found out from them that they’re trying to organize a pick-up location for Quincy. I believe they need 50 folks to...

Third, but Blood Farm is also a very good second choice, and depending on how many butchering-size pigs Aidan and Kate Stillman have at the moment, likely the one you’ll have to go with. Call Blood Farm (978.448.6669) and...

Kate Stillman and Aidan Davin have branched off from Stillman's Farm (run by Kate's dad, Glenn) and started their own farm focusing more on livestock: http://www.stillmansfarm.com/theturkeyfarm.html They do raise turkeys, although...

I hope that all of those who have a problem with the Stillman's meat CSA have actually voiced their opinions to Aiden and Kate. They need to know if you feel you’re not getting what you were promised (and it will benefit...

I just wanted to lay claim to the entire pork bag from Stillman's...I packed the bags, which I never do. You may know that Kate went in to have her baby the next day – exciting! At any rate, don’t count on the pork...

told Aidan that we wanted the smallest possible turkey we could get, since this year it was just going to be the two of us for Thanksgiving. So when we got there to pick up our bird, Aidan’s wife Kate Stillman handed us a...

I’ll put in another plug for the local farmers' markets. Easy to stock up at them right now. River Rock farms, Stillman's are both good, at the markets, and have naturally-raised animals.

Good point – while I enjoy the friendly relationship I’ve built with the Stillman family, especially in the past two years with Kate and Aidan, I do miss the wide variety of the Copley and Coolidge Corner farmers...

Another vote for Stillman's here – my family have been members with both full and half shares over the past 7 years, and have been very happy. We were JP members until Aidan & Kate started up the Brookline option (which...

On Sunday, Allstonian and I did a stint as volunteers at our Stillman's CSA pickup at Clear Flour in Brookline. It turned out to be a slightly odd day — Kate, who has been due for ages, was finally admitted to the hospital...
