A Satisfied Customer! :)



I would like to share an email I received from Brandy Staszuk regarding her experience of dealing with The Urban Barnyard:


Hi Jennifer,
Just filling my end of the bargain...I have been looking for a recipe and think I will send you lazy man's cabbage rolls... its easy and uses ground beef... one of my faves.


Lazy Man's Cabbage Rolls
2 lbs Ground Beef - Raw
1 Large White onion Chopped finely and fried
1 Small Cabbage Shredded or very Finely Chopped
2 1/2 uncooked Minute Rice
2 - 14 oz cans of Stewed Tomatoes
Salt & Pepper
You may also need to add about 1/2 a cup or so of water during cooking if it looks a bit dry.
Combine all ingredients in a roaster... Mix everything really well using clean hands works the best. Bake in a 350 oven for 1.5 hours. The cabbage should be soft, not at all crunchy when it is cooked. I like mine with a touch of sour cream, but the kids like it with Ranch Dressing. Enjoy!



For your blog :
I cooked the Chuck Roast over the weekend and we are so happy with the quality of our meat. You can truly taste the difference between farm raised beef and the beef we purchase in the store which is feed lot raised. It is also nice to know where our food is coming from and that we are supporting local farmers rather than the mass producers who don't care about an end product, only the financial side. I really appreciate all of your help through this process and wish you luck with the Urban Barnyard; you are providing a fantastic service and doing a great job.


Thanks Again,
Brandy & James Staszuk & Family.

Hi!

My name is Jennifer Soltys. I would like to share with you our new business called the Urban Barnyard. My partner's name is Danica Siewert. Typically, the types of customers who are interested in doing business with us are facing the following situations: conscious of where their meats/food comes from, concerned with what to feed their families and are aware of the environmental consequences of their food choices. Of course today's economy also dictates what is logical and feasible to feed our families. Many decisions are made before that rib eye makes it to your plate or the smell of a roasting chicken signals company is coming! We would love to help you make the connection to keep your freezer stocked with natural, healthy foods. Please feel free to contact me at theurbanbarnyard@gmail.com . Thanks, and don't forget to check back on our blog to see our latest connections and updates!

Have a great day!
