Husband and I picked up a couple of Sweet Tree Farm's grass fed, humanely raised rib eye steaks at the Troy Farmers Market... and whooo boy, were they tasty!
Yes, they are a tad on the pricey side when compared to the supermarket (about $1/ ounce with tax for the rib eye), but the excellent flavor and clear conscious don't hold a candle to that supermarket stuff. Plus, it's still way cheaper than you'll find at any respectable steakhouse. And who doesn't love supporting a good local business?
These folks offer a number of items, including various cuts of steak, beef and pork roasts, ribs, chops, sausage, kebabs, bacon, ground meat and chicken. Don't forget the eggs and maple syrup. Plus, they seem to use as much of the animal as possible, given that they also sell shank and marrow bones, dog bones, heart, tongue, oxtail, liver, and beef and pig fat. I love that.
Find the friendly Sweet Tree people selling their goods at the Troy Farmers Market (Saturdays), the Schenectady Farmers Market (Sundays) or pick your order up at the farm by appointment.
Awesome stuff here; I can't wait to try more. Rock on, Sweet Tree. read more
