Saturday in the Strip District!

It’s Saturday, and that means I’m packed and headed to the Strip District with coolers full of beef from our farm for your family.  Shop this morning at 2216 Penn Avenue beside the extraordinary Bar Marco from 9-12; get there quickly, because cuts sell fast!  When you find the blue tent, you know you’ve arrived.  Our friends Gruber Farms will be there, too.
