We went searching for the perfect Bratwurst in 2013, and even had a Brat competition at one of our farmer's markets. The clear winner was a recipe from the Nuremberg area, which dated back to 1313! It was so simple, the spices allowed the pastured pork flavor to shine and worked great with almost anything. The perfect highlight to roasted vegetables in the fall, or the perfect sausage for the grill, the return of the 1313 brat is one that's making our family REALLY happy!
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!
These (and every sausage flavor- I have tried them all!) are so delicious! They make it so simple to prepare a quick and healthy dinner. It feels so good to enjoy meat that has been raised humanely, is made with simple quality ingredients and supports a small family farm.
