Goat
Eaten in many countries across the globe, goat's meat, or chevon (/ˈSHev(ə)n/) hasn't received many accolades in the States until recently. A lean protein that generally has a milder flavor than lamb, chevon is a great lean meat option. Our current stash of chevon came from two goats that we raised as bottle babies and watched grow to become menaces on the farm (there's nothing more infuriating than to come home from church to see them eating plants and flowers on the deck). These guys were the consummate escape artists, and could generally get out of any situation unscathed.
We called this the great goat experiment. Full disclosure - we've never eaten goat. But we're sure gonna try it! If all goes well, we'll get some more goats - but not more like Johnny and June, aka Bonnie and Clyde. We'll more likely go with a larger / mix breed - something that causes less heartache.
While our goats were given access to pasture and hay 24x7, we did supplement with a high quality grain to help them with weight gain, and they were slaughtered young to preserve the sweeter flavor and more tender texture of the meat.
Goat is here!

Ground $12 / lb
