Warning: The new 'bone broth' trend is creating a weird supply issue in my shop.

Last week, a customer in Springfield asked if I could save every single beef femur and knuckle bone for her weekly broth batch. This month, I've had three more regulars make the same request. Three years ago, I was practically giving those bones away as dog treats, but now they're a hot commodity. Has anyone else had to start charging for bones that used to be scrap?

Yeah, it's the same at our place. We had to start a waiting list for soup bones last fall. The pork neck bones are gone by Tuesday morning now. I put a small price on them, just a dollar or two a pound, because it got to be too much work to set them aside for free. It's wild how fast that changed.

Actually, pork neck bones are great for stew.
