Nose To Tail- "How To"

Last month we talked about Nose to Tail eating, what it means, and why it is so important for sustainability, the environment, respecting the animals, and even your  health!  Read that blog post if you haven't and then come back..

Today (and appropriately during Earth Day week)  I will tell you "how to" buy, cook, and eat nose to tail the way that is appropriate for YOU and your family.

Nose To Tail "How To":

1. Go piece by piece. If you’re used to eating the same cuts of beef and are new to nose-to-tail cooking, start by experimenting with one or two new cuts. Usually, the most non traditional cuts are inexpensive but can really surprise you with how delicious and great they are! Build up your repertoire before buying in bulk.  
2. Get Inspired. Buy a grass fed beef cookbook (contact me if you want recommendations on a few of our faves) or check out my recipes on this blog, and monthly cooking demos on our Instagram profile (Highlights section).  These are short video snippets of me cooking a recipe of a less traditional cut of beef.  
3. Buy in bulk.  This is obviously the best way to eat "nose to tail". If you have the ability and are ready for it, buy in bulk! Buying a quarter, half, or even whole cow will save you money in the long run.  Check out our Bulk buying FAQ page or feel free to contact us if you have questions.
4. Enroll in the Starry Nights Beef Box- Bulk too much or nos freezer space? Try our Starry Nights Beef Box! You get 10lbs of different cuts of beef from our farm every month for 3 or 6 months (home delivery included!) Read more here...
5. ENJOY! Enjoy the variety, new flavors, and new (most times super easy) cooking methods you will experience when eating nose to tail!

And as farmers and stewards of our land and animals, we THANK YOU for helping us in our mission to a more sustainable food system and planet!
