I worked at an American ranch steakhouse that was mid to upscale back in the early 2000s. They use to freeze and give the trash dark meat cuts to a farmer about 30 min up the road. I did those deliveries. After the place closed down I went and saw the farmer that had a smoking hot 11-13yo daughter BTW but anyways he gave me a whole hog that I got butchered. I went to Costco and got a 7 cubic foot chest freezer for like $199.

Sometimes it's nice to help locals with scrap food you cant use. Seriously... even if it's just shucked sweet corn. Give it to their goats. I'm seeing alot of 10 for 2 this time of year.
