We are running a special right now, anyone who orders $50 or more gets 2 lbs. of 95% Lean Grass Fed Ground Beef for FREE.  Since we get a lot of requests for "Down-Home Cooking Recipes" made healthy, I thought I'd post one of our family's favorites using our own Lean Ground Beef.  

In our house, my husband Kevin is the Chili King.  As many of our customers know, he is currently deployed to Afghanistan, but he...

We get asked frequently about shipping steaks and brats to APOs in Afghanistan, Iraq and now Africa.  Many people want to send their soldier a taste of home for a special occasion or just a treat.  Usually the first thing we get asked is "How does this work?"  followed by "Does this really work?"  We have designed a specialty shipping container for shipping to places requiring a longer transit time.  This container, especially in the winter months, has been known...

We have been getting a lot of e-mails and telephone calls lately asking if there is still time to order Christmas gifts to be shipped to APOs and FPOs.  The answer is yes!  Shipping perishable items like steaks is always a little risky, especially to some of the remote outposts in Afghanistan, but the cooler weather makes a big difference.  

If you are looking for a less expensive gift, try one of our non-perishable gifts, like our one...

Check out the October 2009 Issue of Progressive Farmer Magazine for an article on niche farmers featuring...Schenker Family Farms.  The article also mentioned our affiliation with AdoptaPlatoon, our national sales and our shipments of steaks to servicemen and women in Iraq & Afghanistan.  Great job on the article Mark!

If you've never had farm-raised grass fed beef, you're in for a treat.  Grass-fed beef from Schenker Family Farms is lean and tender.  For example:  I made tacos for supper this evening (our daughter's favorite).  There was less than a teaspoon of fat to drain off of the ground beef.  Many of our customers have compared the low-fat content of our 95% lean ground beef to that of bison.
