Those of you interested in eating naturally-raised meat in Ann Arbor, 
check out Bob's butcher shop in the Kerrytown market. He gets all his 
meat from friends of his who run natural farms. grass-fed beef, 
organic-grain fed chickens, etc.... it's a bit pricier but I'd rather 
eat it a bit less often to offset the cost.
