Here’s Sara’s latest newsletter on where to buy some great grass-fed (fully pastured) beef, and some market dates through February:
It seems like lots of people have made resolutions to eat healthier and more consciously this year. We’ve had a great response to our new monthly CSA program, and many new customers who have found us through Local Harvest or through our website. Village Foods, which carries our beef in their Bryan store, has increased the freezer space for our beef, too. We really appreciate the vote of confidence from our customers!
PLEASE REVIEW OUR PRODUCTS: Local Harvest (www.localharvest.org) is a great resource for finding locally raised products of all sorts. One of their features is a notification service for new listings and reviews. If you like our beef or veal, please take a moment to post a review under our listing: http://www.localharvest.org/farms/M16339 . It helps folks know they can trust our quality and integrity.
VALENTINE’S DAY IDEAS: Looking for that special meal for Valentine’s Day? We have a very limited supply of whole and half tenderloin roasts (beef and veal) and one very nice standing rib roast available. For a really elegant grilled meal, try one of our veal rib or loin chops. You won’t find more tender, delicate-tasting meat anywhere.
CHICKEN NOW AVAILABLE AT DYER MERCANTILE: Many of you have been asking about sources for truly free-raised chicken. The Mercantile at Dyer Dairy (http://www.dyermercantile.com ) is now carrying home-raised chickens for $3.00 a pound. They are delicious!
VILLAGE café IN BRYAN is FEATURING OUR BEEF: Beginning last week, the Village Café in Bryan began using our beef for some of their features. If you were lucky enough to enjoy an open-faced meatball sandwich or brisket French dip sandwich, you enjoyed Wild Type Ranch beef without having to cook it yourself! The café has become our favorite lunch spot in Bryan (and that was even before they became our customer!). Find them at 210 W. 26th Street in Bryan. www.thevillagedowntown.com
Deadlines for halves, quarters and eighths: The next beef halves, quarters or eighths will be available by February 18. Quarters and eighths must be ordered by February 15th. Halves (custom cut to your specifications), must be ordered by February 8th. See our website or e-mail us for more information.
BECOME A WILD TYPE RANCH FACEBOOK FAN: We’ve begun to post happenings and updates on Facebook. Become a fan of Wild Type Ranch and participate in ranch life without having to go out in 30 degree wet weather. We’re waaaay more real than FarmTown.
VINEYARD AT FLORENCE MARKET COMING UP FEB 6: The once-a-month winter Vineyard Market will be February 6th. Don’t miss this great opportunity to stock up on beef, eggs, cheese and produce from local producers!
SPECIALS AND OUT-OF-STOCK ITEMS: We’ve got some beautiful short ribs in stock; great for winter crock-pot cooking. Don’t miss out on our last veal harvest of the season, now in stock. Our harvest schedule slows some in winter, and consequently, we are currently out of stock for rib steaks, tenderloin steaks and extra-lean ground beef. We will be restocked by Feb 18th on these items.
MARKET TIMES AND LOCATIONS: I’ll do my best to keep everyone posted on our schedule through e-mails and the home page of the website. Below is our updated schedule for the coming weeks.
