12 pounds of mixed grass fed beef and lamb, and pasture-raised pork and turkey. You'll get your share of the whole animal, receiving:
Pork chops, lamb chops, steaks, chuck roasts, shoulder roasts, pork belly, shanks, kabobs, minute steaks, leg of lamb, ground, short ribs, smoked turkey breast, ground turkey, spare ribs, and more. We mix it up for you so it's always a bit like opening a surprise.
CSA shares are how we began selling pasture-raised meats, and we will continue offering these mixed bundles of fresh cuts as long as you want them! This one is sized for a family that eats meat a few times a week. It's the medium CSA plus two lbs of turkey and/or lamb.
North Mountain Pastures is a small family farm dedicated to producing great food using ecologically sound production practices. We farm on 84 acres in Perry County, Pennsylvania, in a way that heals the land, nourishes people, and treats animals with respect. This means animals are naturally raised outdoors, on grass or in carefully managed woodlots, and fed only non-GMO grain. We don’t use hormones, antibiotics, or other chemicals to medicate livestock.
Worried you don't know how to cook? Here's the thing, the quality of your ingredients is sort of like a cheat code for cooking. Your dish is only as good as your weakest ingredient. Grab some fresh produce, a good NMP sausage, and some potatoes, rice or polenta...you got a meal!
The food is great; the packaging causes me heartburn. I worry about the chemicals in the chill packs, and the plastic used in making them -- and I worry about all that insulation batting, too -- I have given it to people to use for compost, but I suggest you include in the box or publish online some suggested ways of using or disposing of it -- and also not wrap batting it in plastic unnecessarily!
The meats in this CSA are really high quality; I am pleased also with the way the ground meats are packaged flat, so they can defrost much more quickly. I would appreciate finding a way to reduce the use of plastic in the internal packaging, and/or clear instructions for how to recycle or reuse the insulation used to keep things frozen.
Ground beef makes some of the best burgers I’ve ever made myself. What’s the fat content? The shoulder cut that was include is beef correct?
Fantastic! I can only say good things about what is going on in Perry County.
The meats are quite tasty and conveniently arrive at my door, fully frozen.
