Beef!

My summer vacation was punctuated today by a long awaited event: The first pick up of my grassfed beef.  Some months ago, I recruited a friend to share a split half of a grassfed steer from nearby San Juan Bautista.  To read more about Morris Grassfed Beef, please click here.

We decided to split a split half, which means that over the course of a year we will each have about 40 pounds of meat.  We chose to get ours CSA-style, which means that instead of picking it all up at once, we will also pick up in September, November and February.

My 10 pounds share of today's pick up is: five one pound packages of ground beef, two rib eyes steaks, one flank steak, one New York steak and one skirt steak.  Also, you can see how little space ten pounds of meat takes up in a standard freezer (bottom shelf).
