Organic bones (for bone broth) Where do you get them?

[Megan70]

As the title says..I am thinking of giving a try at cooking bone broth. Someone told me I should do it with organic bones. I am not sure how regular (or not ) I will cook it yet, but I would love to know from the people that cook it often, where do you find a place to buy organic bones at a good/affordable price?

Butchers seems the best bet! Find one that has proper traced animals so you can validate that it's welfare meat.

"Organic" isn't a very meaningful label - though it does enforce traceability. www.gov.uk/guidance/organic-food-labelling-rules

I order from Green Pasture Farm, all grass-fed and perfect for bone broth. Plus they’re only £3 or so per kilo.

Strike up a relationship with your local butcher - my dad has done this and gets free chicken carcasses whenever he wants them

What’s bone broth? Like stock for soup?

I think the Butcher's options are the ones, I am most inclined to. I don't spend usually too much so online + delivery costs actually cancel all the savings.
Blondie, that would be the ideal situation. I am useless at butcher's sadly we have usually bought most meat from supermarket. But I will try to start checking for local butcher's around Sydenham and see if I get some good prices. The butcher of my Village used to give the carcasses (even bones for soup or broth) free in bags, that was MANY years back, I have seen in the market they even throw the chicken feet without even asking. However I would be really more interested now in ORGANIC bones, so I don't know if that would change anything but I will check. Ideally I would love a local place where I would just pop in, get a kilo of whatever for the day and cook.

Our local independent health food shop seeks grass fed bones for broth. If you have any shops like this near to you it might fe worth checking with them or look for organic farmers in your area.

Riverford is an organic delivery company which does weekly boxes and one-offs. They sell stock bones for beef and chicken.

It looks like there's a fab butcher near Sydenham called Billings which sells high welfare / free range meat - personally those things matter more to me than being organic - the meat might be produced organically but the animals could be kept in horrid conditions and might come from the other side of the world
However if you chat to the guys there they might be able to point you in the direction of organic sources
