Firsthand Foods, Durham, NC
This site has information about the organization, as well as some helpful interactive diagrams of beef and pork cuts. From their site:“Firsthand Foods connects North Carolina’s pasture-based livestock producers with local food lovers, restaurants, food service providers, and retailers.  We source from a network of remarkable farmers who raise their animals humanely, on pasture, without feeding antibiotics or animal by-products, or using added hormones.  We do the legwork necessary to get a consistent selection of quality local meats into local markets.”
