The Wisconsin Beef Council is inviting farmers to join a free local beef directory hosted on the organization's website. Coordinators say all producers who directly sell beef off the farm or at a farmer's market are welcome to add their information to the list by completing an online registration form.
"We support all avenues for producers to market their livestock whether in the sale barn or through direct marketing," said WBC Director of Compliance and Producer Outreach Grace Link. "We hope this can be an additional resource for our beef producers within the state as well as consumers. We see Wisconsin farmers diversifying their operations by selling beef directly to the consumer."
Link says consumers want to make that farm-to-table connection and learn more about how their beef is raised.
"This local beef directory that will be housed on the Wisconsin Beef Council website will be a great asset for both parties," she said.
The directory includes an interactive map so those who are searching for beef can find a convenient location.
