Calling All Meat Lovers!

A few weeks ago we purchased 1/8th of a cow from Baron Farms. Yes, that's 1/8 of an entire cow. We eat alot of meat, especially in the winter. In terms of shopping, I loathe Safeway (unless it's frozen veggies) and QFC. Costco is not far behind either... so that really leaves us with little choice for meat unless I want to pay 1 million dollars for meat at Whole Foods, which by the way I have only ever purchased dates there, and don't plan to return.

Alas, we found Baron Farms offered which offered 3 important factors for meat buying
1. Supporting your local farm business in Washington
2. All meat is grass fed, yet you don't have to call for the organic label (scam/hype)
3. 3.99 a lb, where can you beat that price?!

We locked in our order while it was still in the pasture. It was delivered to use the day after it was cut up and flash frozen. Thank goodness we had room in the freezer for 90 lbs of beef. This is what we got with our order.

2 - 8oz Tenderloin/Filet Mignon
3 - 12oz
3 - 14oz Rib Eye
1 - 10oz Top Sirloin Steak
1 - 3oz Sirloin Tip Steak
1 - 4lb Chuck Roast
1 - 4lbs Bottom Round Roast
1 - 3lb Brisket/Tri-Tip/Flank Steak1
1 - 3lb London Broil
1 - 4lb Cross Rib Roast
24 bags - of 1 lbGround Beef
1 - 1lb - Fajita Meat
1 - 1 lb Stew/Kabob Meat
2 - 1lb Short Ribs
2 - 2lbs Soup Bones

We've had a few friends who are now interested in going in with us for another order. If you eat a lot of meat, I encourage you to stock your freezer and support your local farmer.
