We are now taking orders for our 2011 beef. We will have beef available now through October — first come, first happy!
We are preferring to use Greenfield Custom Meats this year, which results in minimum purchase of a quarter beef. This yields a cash saving for you as the price is only $6.25/lb for a quarter and $6/lb for a half beef. Quarters will average 110 pounds (half is 225 pounds). You may purchase mixed cuts, or all ground beef, or a combination of steaks and ground beef.
Please think of friends or family to buy the half or quarter with you if the poundage is overwhelming you!
An easy equation to help you think about quantities is: For a family of 4, if each person eats an average of 1 pound of beef per week for 50 weeks that is 200 pounds!
Menu ideas:
Week 1:roast (4 lbs)
Week 2: spaghetti (2 lbs) one day, and tacos (2 lbs) another day
Week 3: steaks (4 lbs) grilled for one meal, stir fry with the leftovers the next day
Week 4: beef soup (1 lb stew meat, 1 lb broth bones), stroganoff (2 lbs)
Thanks!
