Rancher Rocco will be with us at the farmers market this morning to sell his first beef calf! He’s so grateful to everyone who has already placed orders and he’s incredibly excited to continue our family legacy of providing food for our community. In addition to Rocco's beautiful veal, we will also have a full selection of fresh grass-fed goat and frozen whole chickens and Cornish game hens. We hope to see you there!

Take some inspiration from @electriccitybutcher and try stuffing a pasture raised veal breast! These looks incredibly delicious— and they look perfect for a spring weekend project. 💜 Just a reminder to place your order for Farmers Market pickup this Sunday, or delivery to your doorstep, if you’d like to support our budding rancher Rocco Rossotti! See our previous post for details on his sweet story. 🌱 See you Sunday! 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♂️🙋

We are passing the torch . . . for one week! 🌱 As some of you know, we (Tony and Julie) are from two different generational ranching families in Marin County. Our son Rocco represents the next generation of both our ranching families, and he is so very excited to continue this lineage! It has been our families’ passion, joy, and privilege to provide food for our local community, and it’s something we are proud to be able to pass on to the next generation. 🐄 Over two years ago, we found an orphan calf out in the pasture. Rocco insisted on taking care of her, morning and night. He named her Sunny and has spent countless hours beside her, telling her stories and tending to her. 🌾 Eventually Sunny became a mama cow in her own right, and Rocco has been there every step of the way, tending to her and her calf and watching out for them here at our home ranch. For almost seven months this calf has lived in the pasture alongside Sunny, drinking her milk and eating sweet coastal grasses. 🌱 This process has been the beginnings of a ranch education for him, as he is tracking all of the costs of raising, processing and preparing his calf for sale. We have begun passing the knowledge and traditions of our great great grandparents on to him. And so, this Sunday, Rocco is beyond thrilled to join us at the farmers market to sell his first calf! 😍 We would love if you, our friends and community, could visit us at the market this weekend to help Rocco succeed in his goal of making his first sale and starting his college fund with the profit he makes from his calf. 💚 If you’d like to support Rocco you can order online from Grotto Rossotti. ALL online veal orders placed this week, including half and quarter veal orders, will be fulfilled by Rocco from his calf.

You may have many types of favorite foods, but these cows can‘t get enough of their favorite dinner— sweet coastal grasses! Good thing they live their entire lives out in the pasture, and neither cow nor calf ever sees a confinement pen. 🌱💚

Some days, you just need a juicy burger to get you to the weekend. Using pasture raised veal instead of beef makes for a supremely delicious burger! It’s got tons of iron, lower fat, it’s better for the environment, and the slightly milder flavor of the veal makes for a perfect palette for your favorite burger toppings. Blue cheese and arugula? Or mushrooms and swiss? Always so hard to decide... 😋🤩

It’s meatball night! We love how versatile meatballs can be— you can serve them with all sorts of sauces and sides; put them in a sandwich; serve them over pasta; you can make them giant or bite-size or somewhere in between. We have two different meatball recipes on our website that utilize either our pasture raised veal or our grass fed goat! You can always substitute ground veal or ground goat in your favorite meatball recipes as well. 🍝 What’s your favorite way to eat meatballs?

Is anyone else in love with bone broth? 🙋‍♀️🙋🙋‍♂️Broth made from animals that are truly pasture raised is one of the most delicious, healthful, and sustainable things you can possibly cook or eat! Our veal bones are rich with collagen and minerals that make for spectacular broth, and by helping us use all parts of the animal, you are cooking in a more sustainable manner. Pasture raised veal bone broth is wonderful to sip on its own, and makes a great base for any number of soups, stews, braises, pastas, casseroles, and more. Find them in our webshop, Grotto Rossotti, or at the Sunday Marin County Farmers Market! 🥣🦴💚
