Earthscape Farm of Hesperia
We sent 3 steers to the butcher this week and will have a full array of beef cuts on Saturday, August 10th.
Crock pots are great for summer meals – they don’t heat up the kitchen, and some slow-cooked meats are the most flavorful, as well as most economical. Put a roast or round steak in the crock pot in the morning. Saute fresh veggies and make a salad to go with it, and you have a delicious dinner! Try our cubed (Swiss) steaks on the grill.
We want to start taking PRE-ORDERS FOR BEEF again beginning August 5th. Please let me know if you are interested. We will take pre-orders for the cuts listed below if you get your order to me by 5pm on Friday this week. Send us an email earthscapefarm@gmail.com .
