So often grass fed beef is too dry. Not here! This meat is really great tasting and tender. The meat is frozen, but it does NOT affect the quality or flavor. I FAR prefer this meat to any at WF. J&J is no longer at farmers markets. Woe is me. That’s a link to where they can be found. They also have a neighborhood delivery program. Yet another local source that is now limited. Too bad.

Great beef. Everything seems to come out very tender and juicy. The selection is great too. The prices are what you would expect from great, local, grass-fed beef. I’ll be eating this beef as long as my cholesterol stays at a manageable level. I can’t recommend this meat enough.

These guys are the real deal. Located in Tehachapi CA, J & J are sellers of grass-fed, free range, CA happy cow beef. I’ve seen them at the Culver City farmer’s market more than once, but I bought from them for the first time last Tuesday. Usually I get priced out of buying grass-fed beef, but this time I decided to at least see what they were offering. I was frank about my lack of funds(but my desire for beef) and the guy manning the booth gave me some fantastic suggestions. I wanted steak, and steak I got… for $ 7 a pound! Sure, it wasn’t a prime cut(it was from just behind the shoulder where the ribs end) but it was tender and flavorful, just as he said it would be. I found the cut to be more gamey than, say, a grass-fed sirloin(obviously), but I really enjoyed the flavor simply pan sauteed with a little garlic and rosemary. Gamey or not, at $ 7 a pound, it was a damn good deal! I was able to trim one a bone off the edge before cooking so that my dog Izzy could have it, and if she could talk, she would agree that it was delicious! J & J is bringing good, local, sustainable beef to customers here in LA, and that’s awesome. They know their product and can help you choose the cut that’s best for you, even if you have no knowledge of cow anatomy(and which parts that are best to eat.) They’re friendly, accommodating guys, and I enjoyed my entire experience with them, from purchase to pan. I missed the market this week, but I’m holding out on buying beef until I can see them again. When you find a good farmer, growing and selling animals in an ethical, humane way, you just want to support them. When they’re as nice as these guys are, it’s a total no-brainer.
