Today’s recipe is a grilled Skirt Steak.  A flavorful steak that is great to marinade and grill.  We love grilling that is why our grill is in use all year long.

Recipe, enjoy.

We just delivered a whole steer to Spider Hall Farm on rte. 231 in Prince Frederick today to “The Farm Stand”.  Go visit Catherine and get your Friday evening dinner or weekend cookout food.  We had pre-made hamburgers done up this time as Spider Hall’s customers have been waiting, so wait no longer.  Enjoy the steaks and burgers!

This is a great article about 100% grass-fed beef.  In Southern Maryland it is our opinion that we do not have the climate or the ground to sustain 100% grass-feed beef to finish with good marbling.  Our cattle are on pasture year round and fed hay and grain to supplement them to get the marbling that we are looking for in the high quality meat we raise.

We are very fortunate that our customers want high quality meat that they can’t get in the grocery stores.  Yesterday we were told by a new customer that he hadn’t had a steak that good since he was a little boy back on his parents farm.  We appreciate raising our beef and goat meat to standards that our customers can count on.

That is music to my ears to read that consumers are asking more questions about where their food came from and what is in it.  Our bodies rely on the food we eat for wellness, make the best choices possible.  Full story

Because of the recent media several beef factories have had to close down.    I personally agree with eating meat and that includes beef.  What I don’t want to eat is meat that has been cleaned with ammonia and used as a filler in my food.

I don’t like filler in my crabcakes either, I want 100% meat, not trimming that make up a filler especially if it has been cleaned with ammonia.  I truly believe one reason why we have so many children in school with learning disabilities is because of the food they eat especially processed packaged food and they way our meats are treated.  preservatives are harmful to us.  We need to eat as fresh as possible and get away from eating preserved food.  I believe that contributes to heart disease and every other disease out there.

Moderation for everything is key especially because medical model has lead us to believe that red meat is bad for us.  I don’t believe that, a healthy steak or ground hamburger purchased by your local producer eaten in moderation is a far better choice than eating a hamburger from McDonald’s because you are in a hurry on your way home from work.

Don’t cut red meat out of your diet, just make healthy choices.  Read the full story
