Deliciously Responsible: From Farm-to-Counter at Bolyard's Meats
<p>Farm-to-counter may not be a thing for most of us, but it is a service that Bolyard's Meats delivers all the time. Bolyard's is a butcher shop that works directly with farmers on the beef, pork, lamb, poultry and more. And in a really unique spin, you not only buy fresh from the farm meats at the meat counter, but you can get a great meal too. And you can eat that while watching the butchers at work in the cutting room from a lunch counter!</p> <p>In this episode we talk with chef and butcher Chris Bolyard who shares his passion for whole-animal butchery, sustainable practices, and providing high-quality meats to his customers. </p> <p>Here are some key points from the episode that will capture the interest of food and cooking enthusiasts:</p> <ul> <li>Chris emphasizes the importance of understanding where your food comes from and the impact it has on its quality and taste. He highlights the strong relationships his business has with local farmers, visiting their farms to learn about the animals' upbringing, diet, and living conditions.</li> <li>Seam butchery is a technique used by Bolyard's Meats, allowing them to offer a wide variety of meat cuts to their customers. They take pride in introducing customers to new and lesser-known cuts, encouraging them to step out of their comfort zones.</li> <li>Chris highlights the importance of minimizing waste and utilizing all parts of the animal to create value-added items like charcuterie, deli meats, sausages, and more. </li> <li>The holiday season is already on the mind of folks in food service. We discuss the increased demand for their products during the holidays, including fresh turkeys for Thanksgiving and standing rib roasts and tenderloin roasts for Christmas. </li> </ul> <p>Links Available:</p> <ul> <li>See videos of beef being broken down in the cutting room and an interview with the farmer who produces beef for <a href= "https://groundedbythefarm.com/farm-to-counter/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bolyard's Farm-to-Counter</a> post on <a href= "https://groundedbythefarm.com" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">groundedbythefarm.com</a> </li> <li><a href="https://bolyardsmeat.com/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Bolyard's Meats</a> website</li> <li><a href="https://www.pricefamilyfarm.com/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Price Family Farms</a> website (beef source we talked with)</li> <li><a href="https://buttonwoodfarms.com/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Buttonwood Farms</a> (poultry source)<br /> <br /></li> </ul>
