Every weekend many of us hit the farmers market circuit, navigating between Union Square Park, Union St, and Russell St in an effort to avoid the wilted offerings found at the Super A.

Local Beef Enthusiast CSA!
Hey just wanted to let you know that my butcher shop, Tiberio Custom Meat, in the lower east side also is offering a beef CSA. It runs for 5.5 months with pickups of 3-6 lbs of meat every other week. The CSA is designed with a unique cut every pickup so that you can eventually eat every cut on the animal. We provide a book that we add to every week with our favorite recipes on how to prepare.
The cost is $675 which works out to around $12/lb for every cut from brisket to ribeye. All of our beef is raised naturally and comes from Argyle NY from Argyle Angus Farm. My business partner and I both live in Greenpoint and have been hoping to find some interest so that we could setup a pickup point in the neighborhood.
Thanks for the post and always glad to check in with greenpointers to see what’s going on in our hood.
