Good morning, friends! Will we see you at the farmers market this morning? It’s the last chance for you to stock up for all the goodies you need for Thanksgiving! No matter who you are cooking for, it sure is nice to be able to shop in the community and get the freshest local produce, pasture raised meats, and artisan breads and cheeses! We’d love to see your faces on this beautifully crisp morning!

With a dramatically smaller crowd for Thanksgiving this year, why not try out something totally different (and arguably more delicious than boring turkey!)? We have lots of ideas for a pasture raised feast for you— come check us out at the Farmers Market this Sunday, or take a gander at our online shop, Grotto Rossotti!

Our calves live the entirety of their lives right next to their mothers— spending their time drinking mama’s milk, nibbling on coastal grasses, and enjoying the fresh air and sunshine. They are never confined in cages or pens. We believe that raising them the way nature intended is more humane, more sustainable, and makes for delicious, healthful meat! Come visit us at the farmers market this morning if you want to chat more about how we raise our animals here on the Ranch. 🧡

Have you ordered your chickens yet? These pasture raised birds are so flavorful, we bet they’d be even tastier for Thanksgiving than a regular old turkey! Not to mention, perhaps more appropriately sized for the much smaller gatherings we find ourselves planning this year? Find them in our webshop or at the Sunday Marin Farmers Market. ❤️🧡💚 🐓>🦃

Did somebody say... CHICKEN?! Our beautiful, succulent birds are back in stock! Reserve yours in our webshop, Grotto Rossotti, and we can deliver to your door or hold it for you to pick up at the Sunday Marin Civic Center Farmer’s Market. These pasture raised birds are chicken as nature intended— free-ranging and foraging to their heart’s content. We believe birds raised this way taste better too!

Did you know that we raise limited flocks of pastured chickens, as well as cows and goats? Our philosophy for raising chickens is the same guiding principles we use for our larger animals— a life lived outside in the grass, free from stress where they are able to forage for bugs and treats. It makes for the most delicious chicken! And when you are done with the meat, save that carcass for a rich, beautiful stock— the foundation for any fall or winter soup! (📷: @kf_haas)

Veal stew meat, cooked simply and quickly in the Instant Pot, is one of our *favorite* warm weather dinner hacks! It fabulous piled onto a lightly toasted bun with some homemade bbq sauce, or tucked into a tortilla with some fresh cheese, crunchy lettuce, and juicy tomatoes. Of course, it obviously makes a mighty fine stew to serve over creamy mashed potatoes, if you are into that sort of thing! 😜🧡

Time to turn off the TV and start planning what we are going to cook this weekend, don’t you think?! It seems like the fall weather has finally begun to arrive in Northern California, so perhaps a cumin and orange-scented grass-fed goat braise is in order? Or maybe we’ll dust off our cast iron grill pan and cook up some thick pasture raised veal chops (thanks @ildonmagnanimo for this photo for inspiration)! With humanely raised meats, you really can’t go wrong. 💚🧡

Is there anything more satisfying than an extra-crispy veal schnitzel and homemade dumplings with bright fresh lemon to squeeze over and a creamy mushroom sauce to crown the whole thing? Our favorite secret weapon for so many weeknight dinners is our veal scallopini— it’s such a versatile cut of meat that can be turned into dozens of different meals with endless flavor profiles. They freeze beautifully and defrost in a flash, which makes them the perfect cut to stock up on!

Have you made friends with your instant pot yet? It’s the absolute *best* tool for cooking delicious braises without heating up your whole kitchen! As the rest of the country seems blanketed with fall leaves and cozy sweaters, we here in California are still in the thick of our seemingly endless summer. In order to keep our temperatures low inside, and take some stress out of cooking, we turn to our instant pot to give us flavorful pasture raised veal and grass fed goat braises, perfect for tacos, sandwiches, or piled on top of mashed potatoes with savory gravy. Another benefit— that machine is FAST! Dinner in an hour, without making the kitchen all hot and steamy? Yes, please!
