What
is CSA?
Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a localized food system
that directly links farmer and consumer. It is a relationship which
benefits everyone. Farmers share the risks of weather and “varmints”
with shareholders, and the shareholders enjoy the freshest natural
products possible. The land is carefully managed with consideration
for future generations moving us all a step closer to a more sustainable
form of agriculture. In exchange for their financial support, shareholders
receive a bag of freshly harvested and frozen beef every month of
their share choice. Pick-up locations are at TJ Meats in Albany.
Community supported agriculture
is a new idea in farming, one that has been gaining momentum since
its introduction to the United States from Europe in the mid-1980s.
The CSA concept originated in the 1960s in Switzerland and Japan,
where consumers interested in safe food and farmers seeking stable
markets for their crops joined together in economic partnerships.
Today, there are more than 400 CSAs in the U.S.

Grown
soley by my daughter Ashley, this beef is ready for purchase! Live
wt 1122#. His hanging wt is 811# or 202# per quarter. Yield 73%
live to rail wt, Back Fat thickness .23". PRIME, Tenderness
score 3.7. Customer take home weight... 635#!
Ashley
also proudly shows this steer who weighed 1400# at 18 months of
age, and dressed 927# (that's 66% live to rail wt), Yield grade
1, Prime, Tenderness score 6.3, Back fat .27". Also, 72% of
the hanging weight was meat taken home by our customers!
Congrats,
Ashley for all of your hard work!
Dare
to compare!
Our meat
cutter said it all!
There's
always a certian amount of waste bone, and fat trim on every beef...
However,
this story is not an extreme, it's a common reality!
He butchered
a beef weighing nearly 1000# on the rail. He threw away 2-50 gallon
barrels of fat trim, and bones, per HALF. There was 4 barrels of
waste that the customer paid 1.50 per pound for! That weighed up
to about 500# that was $750 sent directly to the renderer!
On the
above steer there was just under a barrel of waste bone on the WHOLE
beef. Our customers took home over 50% more meat than the customers
that bought that other breed beef. At our 2.50 per pound, our customer
SAVED $250 just by purchasing a beef that had less bone and more
meat.

FYI
American primal
cuts from wikipedia.org
American cuts of beef.The following is a list of the American primal cuts,
ordered front to back, then top to bottom. The short loin and the sirloin
are sometimes considered as one section (loin).
Upper half
Chuck — one of the most common sources for roasts and hamburgers
Rib — short ribs, rib eye steak and prime rib
Loin — subprimals are:
Short loin — from which T-bone steaks are cut,
Sirloin — less tender than short loin, but more flavorful, further
divided into Top sirloin and Bottom sirloin, and
Tenderloin — the most tender, from which filet mignon is served,
can be removed separately, or left in for T-bone and Porterhouse steaks
Round — lean cut, moderately tough, lower fat marbling, requires
moist cooking or lesser degrees of doneness
Lower half
Brisket — often associated with barbecue beef brisket.
Shank — used primarily for stews and soups; it is not usually served
any other way due to it being the toughest of the cuts.
Plate — produces short ribs for pot roasting and types of steak
such as the outside skirt steak for, say, fajitas and hanger steak. It
is typically a cheap, tough, and fatty meat.
Flank — used mostly for grinding, except for the long and flat flank
steak, best known for use in London broil. Once one of the most affordable
steaks on the market, it is substantially tougher than the loin and rib
steaks, therefore many flank recipes use marinades or moist cooking methods
such as braising. Popularity and leanness have resulted in increased price.
