Spring has arrived and so has grilling season!

The snow is melting, grass is becoming more visible, flowers are sprouting, birds are singing and we are experiencing longer days. It’s time for your grills to come out of hibernation and celebrate spring’s arrival with some delicious steaks, burger and stew/kabob beef from our locally raised and cared for Belted Galloway cattle.

A variety of individual cuts including Tenderloins, T-Bones, Ribeyes, Round and Club steaks are available for purchase on a walk in basis here at our farm office. We also have a supply of stew meat available for those soups and stews you wish to make for the few remaining cold days this spring. We currently have plenty of “grain fed” burger available for all of your cooking needs. This lean, great tasting beef is also available in larger quantities such as eighths, quarters, halves or whole animals, please call for pricing or to reserve your quantity today. Our beef is available for sale Monday through Friday between 8am-3:30pm at our Aldermere Farm Office located at 70 Russell Avenue in Rockport.
