Whole Animal Butchery - Our Hogs
Did somebody say dry-aged beef? I don't have a fancy $10,000 esoteric meat aging cabinet... yet. But I use a device called a SensorPush. It logs humidity and temperature in real time. Over the past 40 days these were aging, at an average temperature of 35 degrees and humidity was 75% no major temperature fluxuations. They sat on the top shelf of the walk-in on a rack with the fan blowing on them all day and night. I have to say, the tenderness, the beefiness, delicious. It's a great experience. We have a couple more prime export ribs and prime shortloins at 28 days right now. If anyone wants to reserve a specific cut, dont hesitate. They are outstanding.
We bring in whole Heritage breed Berkshire hogs from a small family farm in Groveland FL. Heidi cares for, raises, harvests and delivers us whole hogs bi-weekly. We recently had a gentleman request a whole bone in pork belly which weighed about 15 pounds.. The hog was running around playing in with his friends in mud just a few days before he bought it. The flavor is magnificent. Some of the best pork I've had if not the best pork. All cuts are regularly avilable with enough notice.
Side note, We have superb Porchetta we would be happy to roll up and sell you raw or cooked. Perfect for a party. It's really a show stopper!
Slowly but surly we are putting grab and go meals in the case. These are Ft.McCoy grass fed, grass finished short ribs. No hormones or antibiotics. Slowly braised for 12 hours with artichokes, sun dried tomatoes, carrots, and truffle butter. Just heat and serve. Other items like bolognese, meat and cheese plates are avilable as well.
Tons of extremely healthy grass fed grass finished ground beef coming out of Ft.McCoy Ranch in central FL by Ocala. $12/lb. Very flavorful and nutritious!
