"Hi Randy and Robyn,

I wanted to pass along some feedback on the beef we picked up last week. Since we picked it up we have had burgers on the grill, a sirloin steak, and a rump roast.
I thought we'd give a "sampling" of the different cuts. Bill and I both have REALLY enjoyed the meat. We found the burger to be very similar to the thousand hills organic burger I've been buying. Very good. The steak was yummy as well. We normally eat ribeye. The sirloin was very lean. I am notorious for overcooking meat. I was so good about under cooking that I actually had to throw it back on for a bit longer to get it to medium rare. After I took it off the grill I let it sit covered for about 5 minutes. When I cut into mine it was rather pink- but not bloody. The pink doesn't bother me- bloody does. So I really enjoyed my "pink" steak!! I might be a convert to pink. The roast we threw in the crock pot. It was tender and yummy as well, but I think I left it in there too long. Next time it'll be better:)

We are VERY pleased with the beef! We have noticed that the beef seems to have a slightly earthy, almost sweet taste to it. (OK, sweet might be too strong of a word). But there is a taste to the beef that is not typically found in store bought beef. Have others commented on this? Just curious.
Thanks again for putting us on the buyers list this year. Please keep us on the list for next year as well!"

"Dear Randy and Robyn,

 

As you know I grew up on a farm with an abundance of fresh produce and range free animals.  My family also processed all their crops and meat on the farm.  We did everything from sauerkraut, to canning mushrooms and wild game, to making sausage, etc.  It was quite an exacting process and a lot of hard work.  Well, you have no idea of how excited I was the first time I opened up my first pound of hamburger from you.  "Lyle, Lyle"  I yelled  "come smell this."  He looks at me like I'm hormonal and says is it rotten?  "NO, NO this is real meat!" After he tasted his hamburger he was hooked. Shades of my past I thought I would never experience again! 

 

In the past I bought meat from farmers, but I could tell they were grain fed or had shots.  You just know!  The smell, the taste, the texture, and oh yes the cooking time.  One weekend when I was up north, Lyle had his buddy over for some male bonding.  Well, he decided to cook steaks on the grill.  To his surprise the cooking was different..  Oh and by the way his friend is still talking about those steaks to this day.  Lyle grew up in the city and wasn't exposed to curing beef and how the enzymes affect the breakdown of tissue for a quicker cooking time, better taste, and tenderness.  Thank you for doing this process, my dad used it all the time.

 

You guys are amazing and your beef is the best anywhere.  I would and will highly recommend your product.  Thank you so much!

My husband says, "Its WAY better than the crap you buy at the store!"  And I couldn't agree more....I have even had some 'organic' beef from a friend before, he actually hauled in organic corn from Iowa...hate to burst his bubble but his beef was slimy and didn't stick together (PLUS GRAIN fed still....organic or not, ugh).  I LOVE the meat you provide us!  I will be needing some soon again!

Thanks so much!!
