If you've been looking for a decent price on grass-fed beef, perhaps even to stock-up for the winter, Whole Foods is offering a one-day sale tomorrow (9/7)! You can pick up grass-fed ground beef for $4.99/lb!
Earlier this year, our family was offered grass-fed beef from friends who'd raised the cattle themselves, and only wanted to recoup their expenses. We ended up paying less than $3/lb., which was a smokin' deal! Plus, the meat is super-tasty... it kind of reminds me of elk meat (my husband hunts). Here are just a few reasons to consider switching from grain-fed to grass-fed:
- Grass-fed beef ranching is not only good for the animals, but involves managing natural resources and supporting local producers.
- Grass-fed beef is a leaner choice and has a more favorable ratio of omega fatty acids.
- Grass-fed beef is priced fairly for the producer and is worth every penny.
- Grass-fed beef is a delicious alternative to grain-fed beef and cooks a little differently.
You can find more information about the sale and about grass-fed beef on the Whole Foods blog. I'd love to hear what you think about grass-fed vs. grain-fed, and if you're ready to make the switch (or already have)!
