This series is ideal for those interested in joining the sustainable movement but still do not know how to get started. I attended the film American Meat last weekend which included a informative panel of experts on sustainable meat. The film was beautifully made; in a way that placed no blame but presented the cold hard facts. I highly recommend it.
At the event were numerous pamphlets provided by Whole Foods. Some of the more important bits of information you can find below as links:
Local places where you can purchase sustainable meats:
Whole Foods Market
John Crow Farm CSA

Food Safety advice:
A refrigerator allows slow and safe thawing but, if u need to thaw in a jiffy, you can place meat in a plastic bag and submerge in cold tap water.
Internal temperature of ground beef should be 160 degrees ferinheit when cooked and poultry breasts 145 degrees ferinheit.
Never leave out for over 2 hours
For leftovers, divide food into shallow containers and put directly into the refrigerator or freezer and use within 4 days.
Raw hamburger should be cooked within 1-2 days and cooked meat dishes should be consumed within 3-4 days.
