Anyone here buy beef from a local farm?

One thing I'm most interested is hopefully being able to specify the hamburger to be 90%+ lean. I know for 400# of meat, that's a lot of hamburger, but if I can keep the hamburger lean, I'll be happy. I did see the site mentioned it's an extra $0.50/lb for processing if you want them made into patties, so I may opt to do that for some of it.

You can buy direct from the farm itself, so I think I'll go down and check out what their beef looks like and maybe get a few samples to try before buying the entire half.
