In many cases, yes — but it depends on your region and the type of meat. Some livestock farms are approved
to sell across regions or nationwide, while others may offer local collection only. Tip:
Ask the supplier what they're licensed to do in your area.
No — localFoddr provides a platform to connect with livestock farmers, butchers, and fishers, but it
doesn't verify their licences or inspect their operations. You're encouraged to contact the farmer
directly to confirm any important details.
Some good questions include:
