This is the roast of choice - the traditional Roast Beef. The flavor and tenderness is amazing, and requires just a bit of spicing, rubbing or marinating whichever you prefer. A real Holiday Treat! Any roast that is not an even, round shape can be string tied for even cooking. One advantage to string tying your own roast is that you are able to season all sides of the roast with herbs and salt, or your rub of choice, allowing for the salt and flavor to be carried throughout the roast.
Keep refrigerated and enjoy within 5 days or freeze for later use.
Farmers to You orders beef by the whole animal and it arrives fresh to us. On weeks when we receive a fresh beef delivery you will receive cuts that are fresh, not frozen. On weeks when we do not receive a new order your beef will be sent frozen, beginning the thawing process while en route to you and can continue the thawing process in your fridge and be enjoyed within a week. The beef can be refrozen if desired without compromising the quality of the meat. Check the weekly bounty in our Friday Newsletter for fresh beef updates.
River and Rail Farm is the gold standard for beef. Certified Organic, 100% grass fed on rich river bottom pasture, where the soils have been tended to for generations by farmers who care, and herd genetics that go back centuries. Red Devon are smaller framed cattle that grow healthy and strong on grass; the breed predates grain finishing of beef. These animals get plenty of fresh air and exercise, spending all their time out grazing. They are healthy and content.
As a result, the meat from River and Rail Farm is some of the best you can find anywhere, with wonderful, rich, nuanced flavor, excellent texture and just the right amount of healthy fat. This is not factory farmed beef, or cattle that has grazed where the Amazon rainforest once stood. If you’re going to eat meat, this is the healthy and responsible (and delicious!) way to do it.
