Checking Out Livestock

If you haven't taken the time to check out Livestock yet, you're missing out. Offered as a once-weekly Sunday afternoon pop-up at LITM, Livestock is constantly exploring new ingredients and bringing creativity to their kitchen.

Every week I look forward to reading their menu to see what the chefs behind Livestock have come up with and having been in a couple of times now, I've yet to find it an easy decision on what to get. The simplest answer? Go with a few friends and split as much as you can.

Potential Meat CSA Available

While Jersey City has a a good overall farmer's market presence, one area that could use improvement is easy access to grass-fed, high-quality meat. Recently, a reader reached out to me to ask if I'd be interested in helping get a CSA from Herondale Farm started in Jersey City. They provide grass-fed, pasture-raised, antibiotic-free meat and I wanted to share the information because I think it would be a great and useful service for a lot of people.
