River Rock Farm

The River Rock Farm story is a tragic and valiant one. I won’t go into it here, but you can read about it on their website, and it makes you even more grateful that they are still around to sell you their fantastically delicious meat after you have done.
If you can get your hands on a River Rock flank steak, first consider yourself very lucky. Then smear it with a paste of fresh rosemary and garlic, and salt and olive oil and let it sit for a day. Then wipe it off and grill it fast and hot. Cross across the grain, serve with market fresh corn. Die happy.

I exchanged a few e-​mails with Kim to arrange a time for me to take a look at their farm. They currently have 85 head of cattle on the farm and over 100 acres of land for them to roam. It was good to see with my own eyes that they cows indeed had plenty of room to do their thing. Their meat is kept in freezers and almost any cut of meat is available year round. Most of their business comes from high end restaurants and farmers markets. Also, for orders over $ 50, they will deliver to certain areas of MA. In my opinion, Kim was very knowledge and helpful. I ended up picking up 50lbs of ground beef.
Bottom line: If you care about responsible farming, quality meat, and supporting local farmers, you should consider calling River Rock Farm. As for me… the next time I am in need of beef, this is the place I will go to.
