Today I welcome Matt and Jessica Hardecke from Clover Meadows Beef to the show!
I’ve had several listeners over the past few months request that I cover the topic of beef and specifically what types of beef cuts are good for which types of recipes. I thought where better to get good information than from people who are at the source! Matt and Jessica own and operate Clover Meadows Beef, where they raise all-natural Missouri Grass Fed Beef, and Grass-Fed-Grain-Finished Beef. They sell beef direct to consumers in the great St. Louis area, and they are passionate about raising cattle and educating consumers.
