Move to Portland, Oregon! There is a huge market here for local farm produce and livestock. During the 2000's, I couldn't find a CSA because all local farms were selling nearly everything to restaurants. In terms of meat production, it is a trend here for gyms to pool resources and purchase entire cows / pigs / lamb. The farm where I (used to) get my milk was 5 miles from my house (I switched off cowmilk)[0], but my poultry and pork and grown and butchered right next to it on another small farm.[1] There are many others, but they are far away [2], [3]. Now I pay 2x-3x for meat compared to the local big-market (or Whole Foods), but meat is supposed to be expensive if raised humanely and sustainably, so I'm OK with that. Plus I like meeting my chickens before eating them. "Portlandia" was not far off.
