Check Out Our New Website ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We are so excited about our new Blogsite! If you
haven't checked it out yet, please do so. Be sure to
register so you will receive the latest blogs and
updates via email. We actually already received a few
blogs and were quite surprised and excited to see
how the blogging thing is going to work. We love how
much fun it will be keeping in touch with you.
We made a number of changes that we hope you like. You will be able to access the newsletter on the website now. The Pricing pages are easier to use and understand, and the info about How to Order is much better. We added two new pages - Meat Quality/Genetics and Personalized Service in an attempt to help you to understand our operation even better, and updated the other Why GrassRoots? pages as well. I worked on the Cooking Tips page, and hope to improve it even more over the next few months. If any of you who would like to add to the Testimonials we would greatly appreciate it. Just enter your comment and we will get it posted. I hope by next month we will have an online order form (just a form, not online checkout!) on the website as well. We will blog you when it happens. So kick up your heals and let's start blogging!

Meat Supply ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It has been a fairly difficult winter here in the Rockies,
and getting our animals to the processor has
presented some unexpected challenges. At the
present we are out of a number of cuts, including New
Yorks and Boneless Rib Steaks. Believe me, it is a
very frustrating situation. However, we should be
completely back on track and ready to ship all cuts by
April 19th.
That being said, I would like to thank all of you who have placed orders and been willing to allow us to substitute other cuts of meat for the unavailable cuts. You are the best, and your patience is both encouraging and humbling. For some reason God sends us only the best! Thank you so much.

Grill Pan ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A couple of weeks ago I picked up a pan for cooking
vegetables on the grill from Bed Bath & Beyond. It
was quite
inexpensive, and I immediately thought how perfect it
would be not only for vegetables but for fish. Then I
realized that I could also grill fajita meat that was
already sliced and marinated, which I did
last night. First I grilled the onions and peppers, then
quickly cooked the meat, and had perfect fajitas in just
a few minutes. The charcoal flavor on the
vegetables took it over the top.
So that is my tip for the month - a vegetable grilling pan from Bed Bath & Beyond. Let me know if you come up with any great ways to use it that we can share.

April Specials ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
WIth our meat supply being what it is, it was kind
of hard coming up with a special for the month. But
it's time to get out those grills again, and for your
fajitas we are offering our Top Round Steak
for $4.99
per pound, a savings of $2.00 per pound, and our
Tenderized Bottom Round for $4.29 per
pound, a
savings of $1.70 per pound.
Love those Short Ribs? Normally $3.49 per pound, get them for $2.49 this month. That will save you $1.00 per pound. A nice, slow cook on these babies will yield a tender and delicious entree that is just waiting to be bathed in BBQ sauce. Yummmm!!

In Closing ... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Allan is busy moving animals from winter to spring
pasture, and soon enough we will be returning to our
summer pastures. Then the irrigating begins. Did I
say irritating or irrigating? Both the same
sometimes! But watching the grasses come on and
the animals contentedly grazing nearer to home is
such a blessing. And so are you. Thank you again for
being part of our family.
Lois, Allan, Lisa & Family
