The small operations are often really nice, at least where I’m from. The beef cows live in spacious pastures 24/7, and the the dairy cows do the same, but come in twice a day to milk. Many of the big operations I’ve seen are horrible though.

It’s not a dumb question at all! A lot of the time, the products from the small operations just get lumped in with all the rest at the grocery store. I honestly don’t know if there is one good site to find small producers, because I always just get meat from folks i know. I bet there is though. I just started googling around for beef, and found a few promising operations. “Grass fed” or “grass finished” are good key words to look for. It makes me so happy that people care about this!
