Where's the Beef?

My legions of loyal Followers, I'll tell you where the beef is. It's in Jasper Indiana at Fischer Farms market & Grill.
I went there this weekend and picked up my first side of beef. The deep freeze is now full of top quality, aged, non-hormonal, non-anti-biotic beef. For those of you that don't know, as I didn't till recently, Fischer Farms is located outside of Jasper and specializes in "Natural" beef & pork. The animals there aren't loaded up with hormones or anti-biotics and they're all pasture fed. The meat is great but let me tell you about the market & grill. Not only can you pick up your aged & freshly butchered beef, but you can sit down in this little small town diner and enjoy any of their grilled specialties. Burgers, steaks, roasts, pork chops, everything grilled. You get the feeling sitting there that this is a mom & pop operation and you're right. The husband works much of the farm and the wife runs the restaurant.
To top it all off, there is a riverside park about 30 seconds walk from the front door. You can take your meat directly to the park and enjoy a cookout with the family. There are horse shoe pits and picnic shelters to enjoy as well and a riverwalk complete with old working mill and an antique train station with a working train.
This is definitely one of my new favorite places and I can't wait to go back and enjoy this little gem. I think I'll go back on the first weekend in August and see what their Strassenfest is like. I'll see you there, my legion of loyal followers.
