Yup. In a few weeks, there won’t be farmers’ markets will enter hibernation. Austin Bros., River Rock and Stillman’s won’t be making regular trips to our hood to give us the good stuff: grass-fed beef whose origins can be traced down the Pike.

But! This recently in from our friend Michael at Hardwick Beef (also the good stuff, from Worcesterish County). You can now buy it year-round at City Feed & Supply (an overall very special place with a big new location in the center of JP); both Harvest Co-ops (Central Sq and JP) and all Crosby’s Markets. Mike also said the beef we get in the Boston area is coming out of cattle raised in Vermont and Massachusetts. That means it tastes extra delicious.

Also, I noticed a coupla weeks ago at the Central Sq market that Austin Bros had a sign up sheet for anyone interested in meeting them in a parking lot in Cambridge over the winter. You know, to pick up meat. I signed up, haven’t heard a word from them yet. Stay tuned, I s’pose…
