Schoch Family Farmstead is now offering beef at the farmers market in addition to their raw milk, yogurt, and cheeses! The beef is available at the farmers market as well as by special order.

The beef is from a cross of Wagyu and dairy cattle. Wagyu beef is a type of high-quality, richly marbled beef from specific Japanese cattle breeds. The meat is known for its extraordinary marbling, tenderness, and rich flavor, making it one of the most sought-after types of beef globally.

The marbling in Wagyu beef consists of intramuscular fat, which melts during cooking, giving the beef its signature tenderness and buttery flavor.

The golden glow is coming from Stackhouse Orchard’s booth! The just-harvested persimmons are beautiful!

Fuyu persimmons are unique because they can be eaten while still firm, unlike other persimmon varieties that need to soften before eating. Their sweet, crisp texture makes them ideal for enjoying raw, like an apple, and they have a mild, honey-like flavor without the astringency found in some persimmons. They are especially nice added to salads and are a great choice for dehydrating to make healthy snacks. Perfect for snacking, baking, or adding to your autumn recipes. And, if you have a dehydrator, they are great for drying!

Be sure to check out persimmon recipes at our companion website—www.edibleparadise.com.
