One of the reasons why we want to buy from local sources is because it is easy to trust them and their product. Take beef, for example. Locally-produced beef is made in ranches we can easily visit. The ranch owners are always happy to give us a tour because they have nothing to hide. On the contrary, they want us to know everything. Take for example True Texan Beef. They are proud to say that they are selling Texans with beef made from Texas-raised cattle. They sell 100% grass-fed and finished beef. It is all-natural and free-range. Beef produced here is US-inspected and has passed the standards for health and safety set by the US Department of Agriculture. It is a great-looking beef that tastes great too, not to mention nutritious and very good for your health and well-being. True Texan Beef is a good reason why it is best to go for locally-sourced beef.
