Pecan Grove Angus

As we work to build the farmer's market and seek local artisans, craftsmen and farmers we have stumbled onto a wonderful family that raises Angus beef. Deborah and David Hajda of D & D farms along with their four sons raise Angus beef along the San Gabriel river.
Let me just say that I am a born again beef lover! Yep--can I get some beef? Any cut will do as long as you get it from D & D farms. We have dined on their t-bone steaks, ribeyes, flank steak, ground beef and cube steak. Haven't been disappointed yet! Like butta......

Their cows graze along the San Gabriel river in a pecan grove. These are happy cow, folks. They are antibiotic and hormone free. No cattle prods are used which causes the muscles to seize up and makes tough meat.

You can purchase individual cuts of meat or 1/8, 1/4 or 1/2 of a calf. Leslie and I purchased 1/8 of a calf and were quite impressed with the quantity, quality and price. The meat is locally butchered, inspected and vacuumed packed. The meat is frozen solid and keeps well in the freezer.

Experience what Leslie and I have been enjoying the last few weeks! The Hajdas are at the Farmer's Market every Saturday from 8 AM - 11 AM. You may purchase the day of the market or preorder, if interested.

Thank you Deborah and David for supporting our idea and for producing such a wonderful product!
