Happy New Year!
People are so worried about what they eat between Christmas and the New Year, but they really should be worried about what they eat between the New Year and Christmas - Author Unknown

In choosing grass fed beef you are doing yourself and the environment a favor. All the best to you in the new year!

Delivery Day!  We will be delivering delicious Rockin ' J Beef to the Little Toots Park parking lot on Tuesday January 13th between 2 and 3:30 PM.  Please have your orders emailed or phoned to us (970-879-7527) by Monday evening.  We will have your orders ready and waiting for you during the scheduled time.  If you are unable to come to the park, please contact John to make special arrangements.

Yampatika Soup Sessions I will be talking about the benefits of holistic management and permaculture.  The philosophy within permaculture is one of working with rather than against nature, and of protracted and thoughtful observation rather than thoughtless action. Permaculture design techniques encourage land use which integrates principles of ecology and applies lessons from nature. Be sure to attend on Tuesday January 20th, from 5:30 to 7:30 P.M. at the Steamboat Springs Community Center.  We are having a series of three lectures during the winter covering topics of local interest. A casual soup/chili supper is included in the cost, which is only $15 per person. To discourage the use of disposable products, guests are being asked to bring their own soup bowl and spoon. Soup bowls and spoons will also be available for purchase. Please call Yampatika for reservations (871-9151).

Crock Pot Cooking! by: MaryBeth Vellequette It's not clear to me how any dual-income family, kids or no, functions without a crock pot. Ours is simply indispensable, and used so frequently, especially in cold months, that it ought to have a coveted "counter spot" in our kitchen. If I actually had counter space, it would. Sunday's dinner was a class= ic -- Pot Roast. Classic in the sense that a large hunk of inexpensive meat was cooked in a slow cooker for ~11 hours with onions, potatoes, and carro= ts. While this roast was a mainstay of my youth, I have made some distinct changes from my mother's classic (I'm sure she'll correct me on this if nee= d be). First, I used a chuck roast from Rockin' J Cattle, here in Colorado. Rockin' J is locate= d near Craig, CO, and takes great pride in raising their cattle the old fashioned way. On the pasture. Eating nothing but grass. No injections of man-= made chemicals. It may take a little longer for these beeves to get to slaughter weight because they are not fattened up with Iowa corn, but the weigh= t is worth the wait, so to speak. read on...
