Out To Pasture focuses on what we can learn about "re-localizing" meat production in New York State by re-examining the period, as late as 1880, when New York was actually a center of the country's meat production.

They focus on the untold stories of the people who make the system go: the truck drivers, distributors, farmers and fishermen who are working behind the scenes and around the clock.
Myers and Harvey have worn many hats in New York City's food world, working for restaurants, recycling shops, cheese dealers, public markets, university environmental committees, websites and blogs alike.
