Monthly Meat Boxes: Flexibility and Convenience

The BMC — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 23:24:38 +0000

Life is hectic and sometimes committing to one more thing can throw us over the top. While we believe our CSA memberships provide the most cost effective, and convenient way to insure fresh, high-quality meats at the table, we also recognize that a membership is not for everyone. If you’d still like to receive BMC product deliveries, but find a full CSA membership does not fit your needs, please consider our monthly meat boxes. Call us by the 15th of the month, and we’ll have a box packed and ready for you on the 1st. For more information, check out our Monthly Meat Box page, or contact Brad at burnheimermeatco@gmail.com or 541.231.4085.

For questions, or to sign up, contact Brad at 541.231.4085 or burnheimermeatco@gmail.com.

Breaking Down the Whole Hog, part 2

The BMC — Thu, 07 Apr 2011 22:05:13 +0000

We put together a collection of images from yesterday’s butchering, but a quick warning: while we believe it’s important to know where our food comes from, and to recognize it for what it is, a few of the images in the collection are graphic. Please use your judgment.

Breaking Down the Whole Hog

The BMC — Thu, 07 Apr 2011 04:42:58 +0000

We received a whole pig at the farm today, and from 2 pm on three of us worked to break it down into primal cuts.

We’ll get a photo gallery of the process up in the next day or two, but in the meantime here’s a short video of Brad prepping the pork bellies for curing à la Bertolli’s tesa.

The music is from the classic soundtrack to The Blues Brothers.

Selfless Love: A follow-up from the dinner at Corvallis Brewing Supply

The BMC — Thu, 07 Apr 2011 02:37:30 +0000

Ricky stayed from five in the morning until 10 at night, then rode his bike home in the dark. JC called in. Twice. Maggie took the night off from studying, friends, and running. Rich loaned his car. Fritz supplied the cream. Joel believed, washed dishes, poured beer, sang praises, and didn’t rest all evening. And the community? They supported us.

Thank you to everyone who came out for the Sierra Nevada 30th Anniversary Beer dinner. We were proud to take part, and continue to feel so honored to be part of this place.

New vegan product line

The BMC — Fri, 01 Apr 2011 23:12:32 +0000

We’ll be adding several vegan options to our product list this spring. Made from fresh GTF produce, look for sausages and salami featuring beet/kale/leek, parsnip/carrot, and fennel/apple/walnut.

Or maybe not. While we love our vegetables like we love our mother, the BMC is all about meat, and we’re proud to share our passion with our customers and communities. Happy April Fools!
