Unfortunately there's no butcher within 25 miles of my house anymore. Would be great to get service and fresh meat like that.
25 miles!!! Mine is literally 3 miles away and I live in the woods!!! That sucks, I don't know what I would do with out that butcher there, I was worried when they started to get old because I thought they would give up on the place {even though its a gold mine, always busy, and nothing is cheap, all good stuff, they know they can't compete with supermarkets fro milk and regular bread, so they don't try, they sell local glass jar milk, hand made bread, no preservatives, no added junk, all organic from local farms, like it should be.. They make their own honey, their own preserves, they get veggies delivered as you order them, from local farmers. All the meat comes from their farm, they have cattle, pigs, chickens, turkeys, the place is amazing... Kind of private though, seems like everyone that goes there knows everyone by name, the type of place you need to know them to go to, its actually at their farm where they live so, you go into their basement to pay for your food, no credit cards, cash or check only.. A lot of "help" in there, like peolpe around here sending their housekeepers, and maids..
We don't have full time help, we have a cleaning women/a part time housekeeper that helps around parties, holidays, and stressful times like when the kids go back to school, or when we are going on vacation, ect... But that's it, a lot of people around here have full time help, a really good friend of mine has 3 full timers taking care of his family, that costs him over $100K per year!!!!!!! but his house is twice the size of mine its all of 10,000 square feet and I'm sure a handfull to keep clean with 4 kids, I have 2 kids 14 and 12 years old and my house is only 4500 sq feet and it could keep someone busy 40 hours a week keeping everything in order {12 hours a week just in windows, floors, kitchen, bathrooms, dusting!!!} but my wife is always around so its not as bad...
