Who else is exceedingly excited for the weekend? What should we cook? What should we do? What are YOU cooking this weekend? What fun adventures are you embarking on?? We will be at the farmer’s market on Sunday, which is always the highlight of our whole week, and something we highly recommend as a must-do activity, if you need some ideas. ☺️😉 (Reminiscing on this lovely #rossottiranch pasture raised veal dish from @dailydriversf, photo by @poppyseed__pr 😍)

Happy first day of fall! 🍎🍏🍎🍏 So lucky that we have these beautiful old orchards on the ranch to provide our family with allll the apples! What should we make? Pasture raised veal loin with sautéed apples and cabbage? Or maybe a braised veal breast with apple, kale, and wild rice stuffing? We know there will at least be apple pie!😋😍

What better way to celebrate #nationalcheeseburgerday than with a slider party?! Whether you choose grass fed beef, pasture raised veal, or even grass fed goat, make sure to have a variety of cheeses and toppings on hand so everyone can customize their sliders to their liking! Served alongside some fresh watermelon and simple s’mores for dessert, and you’ve got the perfect farewell to summer menu. 🍔🌞🍉🍫

Could there be a more glorious time of year at the farmers market? Every stall is just overflowing with all of the late summer tomatoes, melons, peppers and corn, right alongside new crop apples and Brussels sprouts and wild mushrooms. Come down a take a stroll to see what inspires you! Perhaps some easy veal cutlets with a crisp green and fresh peach salad? Or maybe goat tacos topped with a tomato corn salsa? Stop by and say hi and we will help you figure out what to make for dinner this week!

One of our most delicious items is back in stock— Cornish Game Hens! These delectable birds always sell out super quickly, so if you’d like to snag a few, check out our webshop, Grotto Rossotti, and place your order for delivery or Farmers Market pickup ASAP! We hand-raise super small flocks of these tiny-but-mighty birds, and only have them available a few times a year. They are a crowd favorite, probably because they are so juicy and succulent!

Dinner time! Love watching these mamas enjoy the good life out here. 😍 Our cows only eat fresh coastal grasses, hay that’s been organically or sustainably grown— and the babes also get their own mother’s milk! We love letting them live the lives nature intended for them, roaming about the pastures and enjoying all this California sunshine. 🌞

Have we ever told you how much we love meatballs? (Pretty sure the answer is MANY, MANY, TIMES, but we are going to do it again anyhow. Because we love meatballs!) They are easy. They are economical. The are healthy. They are versatile. They are… delicious! Ground pasture raised veal, or grass fed goat, makes the most perfect building block for the greatest variety of dishes. 😍 We love them in the summer with bbq sauce on a bun, or with a tangy basil & cilantro slaw and stuffed into a baguette, or even tiny ones to top a wood-fired pizza. They are good next to a tumble of shaved garden veggies, and superb when stuffed with mozzarella cheese and pierced with tiny toothpicks. They are simply the best! Find one-pound packages of our pasture raised veal, grass fed goat, and even a limited quantity of our seasonal grass fed beef, available in our webshop, Grotto Rossotti!
