Awesome, Meghan. Really interested in the beef barley story. Our Megan is helping to start a beef and cattle operation in WY using earth-sensitive methods. I'll try to locate the article and pass it along to her. Keep it up!

Just yanking your chain, as always ;) Seriously, good going Meghan, I'm always so proud of your journey. UM

Your beef barley article sounds fascinating. Does the beef taste like beer?

Last night, we grilled our first New York steak from Barley Beef and it was amazing! I don't eat a ton of beef for environmental reasons, but this steak was raised and processed within 20 miles of where I live, so I feel pretty good about that. It tasted sweet, salty, fatty, tender. SO GOOD. I didn't taste like beer, exactly, but the meat was "marbled to perfection" as advertized (thanks to the cow's diet). I highly recommend buying meat directly from the rancher if you can. The taste difference is like night and day. (and I might have steak and eggs for breakfast.)
