I believe that Temple Family Farm was founded about 100 years ago. I met the current owner at the…read moreSewickley Farmers Market.
He was selling an assortment of meats: ground beef, beef patties, london broil, chuck/arm roast, rump roast, eye of round roast, short ribs, beef cubes, liver, porterhouse, t-bone, bone-in ribeye, strip steak, filet/tenderloin, sirloin, skirt, beef brisket, pork chops, shoulder roast, baby-back ribs, spare ribs, country ribs, bacons, hams, ground lamb, lamb rack, loin chops, etcetera!
A sign on his table said that he was also offering half/whole pigs and whole lambs. He accepted customers' payments via cash, check, credit card, Apple Pay, and Venmo.
My husband, who had recently been gifted a new grill, felt most interested in the beef brisket, so he purchased 2.5 pounds of brisket. The owner made courteous conversation about how to grill the brisket, and he sincerely thanked us. The price was slightly higher than what some other farms and stores charge, but I think that Temple Family Farm raises their animals in better conditions.
Later at home, my husband put this beef brisket in his smoker for hours. The brisket was tender and flavorful.
