You're lucky! We do have smaller farms around me, but not many with livestock other than chickens. I'm sure I can find a place (we have A LOT of local/sustainable restaurants in the area that list which farms the items are from).
We sometimes go to a halal slaughterhouse and pick up things like goat, fresh chickens, and rabbit. I hate holding the bag with the warm body in it, and often have to go outside while my husband cuts off feet/heads.
