When I first started making bone broth a decade ago, after studying Ayurveda in Sebastopol, I would go to my local Whole Foods meat department and ask for the cut up big pieces of animal bones. Organic bones of course. And they gave me the bones for no charge. This only last about a year. Because the Ayurveda course I took was local and soon many of us were asking for bones, so the price went up.
