We were bombing around Niagara County exploring different places with Gord a couple weeks ago and made our way to Royalton Ravine, which we hadn’t visited in years.
The county park is now home to a disc golf course carved from the forest.
On the way home, we stopped at Strobel Farms on Coomer Road. Paul Strobel was behind the counter at his store. We used to buy meat from his mother at Clarence Farmers Market.
“If you can’t get it here, you shouldn’t be eating it,” he said by way for greeting.
We browsed the pork, dairy and chicken offerings as well as produce. It was the beef case in the back that intrigued me.
He had multiple different cuts of steak, including some lesser known, like teres major, denver and hanger. The first two some off the bottom of a chuck roll. The hanger or butcher steak hangs from the front of the cow and tastes like filet mignon with more flavor.
It wasn’t cheap but if you are going to buy beef, get it from a real farmer, fed off grass and never treated with growth hormones and antibiotics. You can learn more here.
