Rocky Mountain Organic Meats recently contacted me to see if I would be interested in trying a selection of their organic, grass-fed beef. I immediately accepted the offer and a few days later a freezer box full of ice-cold meat arrived on my doorstep.

Fresh organic beef, delivered to my doorstep!

The meat was expertly packaged, complete with enough dry ice to keep everything fresh for shipping it on even the hottest days.

The first night, we decided to try some of the organic, grass-fed ground beef and make hamburgers. As I opened the package of ground beef and began to add some seasonings and form the burger patties, I immediately noticed something different from my typical store-bought ground beef. The meat was bright red all-the-way through the package.

The grass-fed ground beef from Rocky Mountain Organic Meats is red, through and through.

Many times, after I’ve purchased meat from the grocery store, I have noticed that the external portions of the meat may be red, but the center of the meat is often brown in color. The freshness of the organic ground beef alone sets Rocky Mountain Organic Meats above the rest.

These burgers didn't shrink when they were cooked - delicious!!

Needless-to-say, after we made the patties and put them on the grill, they made the BEST hamburgers that we have ever had!!

Perfection!

In fact, my 5-year old ate an entire burger, with all the trimmings, without a morsel to spare!

As a mom to two young children, I am always searching for the best foods to serve to my family. As with many families, my children love hotdogs. I often cringe at the thought of serving them, since they are packed with chemicals. Luckily, Rocky Mountain Organic Meats will now fill our hotdog niche! Their hotdogs are 100% organic beef. They contain no chemicals, no animal by-products, just organic, grass-fed beef. The best part of all is that my kids like them even better than the ordinary, chemical-laden, mystery meat hotdogs.

Rocky Mountain Organic Meats also has a selection of organic beef jerky and beef snack sticks. We brought the organic honey beef jerky with us on a family hike and it was a huge hit. The organic beef snack stick quickly became my 5-year old’s favorite after-school treat. As his mother, I felt great serving him a snack stick with some fresh fruit or veggies – a great combination for a growing child. Both are now family favorites and we plan on snacking on them while on the ski slopes this winter!

I could go on and on about the rest of the meats that I tried from Rocky Mountain Organic Meats. The organic beef breakfast sausages had an amazing flavor. I served them to my kids before school and they have been asking for the “yummy” organic sausages for breakfast ever since. The steaks at Rocky Mountain Organic Meats are unlike any other. They are tender and delicious. We shared the organic beef summer sausage and the organic garlic sausage with friends and we all agreed, there’s no turning back – we MUST order our meat from Rocky Mountain Organic Meats!

After sampling a wide range of products from Rocky Mountain Organic Meats, I knew that their meat was among the best I had ever eaten. I began to wonder why? After reading some documents from the USDA, the Mayo Clinic, the Organic Trade Association, and a few others, I learned that everything is different with organic meat. For example, the cattle eat an organic, grass-fed diet, they are not given antibiotics or hormones, and they have better living conditions than conventionally raised cattle. The cattle are not confined, but have access to pasture. In the case of the cattle used by Rocky Mountain Organic Meats, this means the cattle have access to the wide open spaces of northern Wyoming.

Wide open spaces, certified organic pastures

To me, these differences are significant - as a mom they are differences that I cannot ignore.
