We live in a resident owned community in FL that is posted no trespassing & no soliciting. We have called police when these meat sellers come in because they violated both of those. Police came right out.

Yrs ago I also bought steaks from them. Boy they were so good. Don't know if I'd do it again as I worried ahead of time if anyone would get sick or die from eating them.

We had a Lady come out to our house once, selling meat, chicken and seafood. We let her go through her sales pitch, Then she opened a few boxes, the products were vacuum sealed. To display her "wares" she laid the boxes on the ground and spread the contents on the driveway. After she was done, we said no thanks and went back in the house.

She wasn't to pleased and had never come back.....LOL

No way on this end - with the 100 degree heat we have had I wouldn't trust anything coming out of a freezer on a truck. It has to be crooked they know someone at one of the distribution centers & is paying them for a couple of cases cash under the table type thing. You have no way of knowing how or where it was produced, was it processed following the food standards (doubtful).

You can't be sure where it came from. Check with people who have bought it first. Then if you are still interested and the price is ok just buy something small to try.

I've never seen a meat truck other than sometimes see locals selling seafood on our way down the NC coast.
Did have a big ol truck in our subidivion once...selling furniture...priced to sell.....most likely stolen merchandise so we passed.

In 25 years of owning a business we have had meat sellers come in wanting us to buy meat. Others selling oranges, art pictures, cleaning products, etc. We are an abrasives distributor, as in sand paper, sanding belts and the such, to the industrial market. We did buy oranges, very good and cleaning solution a couple times. No meat.

Me neither... for any number of reasons... the meat could be stolen, it could be poisoned, it could be who-knows-what kind of meat (like horse or something). I don't even think that's legal.
