New Calf Alert!

Welcome new and returning members! Here are some helpful notes:

  • IMPORTANT: Reminder that returning members will have a different bag number this semester. When you come by to pick up your Meat Club bag, let someone in the store know your last name and we’ll retrieve your bag for you.
  • We’ll be sending an email this weekend to our full mailing list about K9 Kuisine, our new potential raw dog food partner. Let someone in the store know if you are interested in trying this Michigan-made raw dog food and if we should start carrying it.
  • New Members: When you arrive, please let someone know your last name and we’ll retrieve your bag for you. Reminder that it is not mandatory that you come on the day the bags are available. We’re here for your bag pickup Tuesday-Saturday from 1-6 PM.

Your pasture-raised meat cuts are ready for pickup! Here’s what’s in your bag for Friday, September 20: 

Great Lakes Fish: Lake Trout filets!

Lamb: Lamb shoulder roast and French Rack of lamb!

Pork:  Our thick-cut bone-in pork chops and jowl bacon for this week. Jowl bacon is great in a carbonara or on a BLT. Our 50+ lb. subscribers will see spare ribs in addition to pork chops (but not jowl bacon, which you received last week). Farm Manager Dave fired up some of Alton Brown’s Oven-Roasted spare ribs this week in the oven (no smoker, no grill, no nonsense) and they fell off the bone. Take a look at the photo below.

Beef:  Our 25-pound subscribers will receive a beautiful rump roast this week! Our 50+ lb subscribers will see a mix of larger rump roasts, Denver steaks and stew meat and soup bones. It’s a perfect week for Roast Beef Sandwiches.

Chicken: Peppers are popping! Check out this great recipe for Chicken Scarpariello (Braised Chicken With Sausage and Peppers).

New calf alert! This beautiful baby boy was born on Thursday. He’s a cross between a Hereford bull and a Murray Gray cow. He’s doing great!

Dave made these spare ribs this week. They melted off the bone.

Our pigs are eating these huge radishes in their radish patch. Happy pigs = delicious pork.
