Though saying a Japanese word might seem challenging, many experts agree you won’t forget how to say Wagyu correctly once you taste it–the pronunciation will be as memorable as your steak. At Morgan Brook Farm in Westford, Vermont, master butcher Todd Ashine says that many first-time customers order online without any idea how to say Wagyu. He says mispronouncing Wagyu right is not a big deal. What matters most is the enjoyment Wagyu brings. “Food is love,” Ashine said. “I feel fulfilled when I meet someone that doesn’t know what they want or even how to say Wagyu. Then after trying our Wagyu, they are totally satisfied and extremely happy.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/651e3b51d8887e39cbd8ac25/9e3b1ec9-3b94-4c21-baa3-e58e899e64ac/StyledFoodPhotos-MorganBrookFarm-007.jpg Resources - How to Pronounce Wagyu Beef - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.morganbrookfarmvt.com/resources/wagyu-ground-beef-stuffed-zucchini-boats monthly 0.5 2023-10-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/651e3b51d8887e39cbd8ac25/cd24010d-dd77-4b06-a237-ba57577a3fc9/Wagyu-Beef-Zucchini-Boat-Recipe.png Resources - Wagyu Ground Beef Stuffed Zucchini Boats - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.morganbrookfarmvt.com/resources/grilled-wagyu-ribeye-steak-with-peach-salsa monthly 0.5 2023-10-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/651e3b51d8887e39cbd8ac25/4f1504de-5303-4a8c-ba73-1cae2ab01999/Recipe-for-Grilled-Wagyu-Ribeye-Steak-with-Peach-Salsa.png Resources - Grilled Wagyu Ribeye Steak with Peach Salsa - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/651e3b51d8887e39cbd8ac25/9d8acab3-d39b-45c1-a492-ff64c67d197f/boneless-ribeye-steak-MorganBrookFarm-007.jpg Resources - Grilled Wagyu Ribeye Steak with Peach Salsa - What is Wagyu Ribeye? A ribeye by any other name would be Delmonico, boneless rib eye steak, rib steak, boneless or bone-in rib eye roast, or a gargantuan seven-bone rib roast. Ribeye comes from ribs six through twelve — located high on the front side of the cow. There is not much movement in the cow here to toughen up the muscles, hence the legendary tenderness of the ribeye. A good Wagyu beef ribeye will be well marbled, yielding a well-balanced beefy flavor and a distinct juiciness. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/651e3b51d8887e39cbd8ac25/763bc7c2-ad7a-46ab-a3ec-6f66083e23c2/Screenshot+2023-10-05+at+8.11.47+AM.png Resources - Grilled Wagyu Ribeye Steak with Peach Salsa - Serve your Wagyu beef ribeye with a Smokin’ Peach Salsa A good salsa, be it the dance or the condiment, relies on achieving a delicate balance of opposing elements. In our case, the elements are sweet and savory; sour and spicy; with a dash of salt to electrify the results. Grilling peaches add a sultry smokiness to their natural tangy sweetness, which pairs beautifully with the buttery char of a grilled Wagyu ribeye. It also caramelizes their natural sugars, deepening that sweetness. Shop for peaches that will be as fresh and as close to perfectly ripe as possible, while still being relatively firm, at grill time. When you smell the stem area, it should smell just peachy … literally! A little firmness helps them keep their shape, as does leaving the skin on — your choice. If it’s not peach season, canned peaches are a fair substitute. They still need to be relatively firm, so let them drain and pat them dry before placing them on the grill. Grilling onions and peppers actually pump up their flavor. These two ingredients already pack a powerful flavor. Go easy on them until you have dialed it in to your liking. We use Vidalia or white onions at Morgan Brook Farm because of their less-potent flavor. Red onions have a more powerful flavor and will skew the taste of the salsa even more. If reds are all you have on hand, go ahead and use them — just use less. https://www.morganbrookfarmvt.com/resources/marinated-wagyu-london-broil monthly 0.5 2023-10-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/651e3b51d8887e39cbd8ac25/81812576-02f3-432f-9605-2f00d62b5752/Wagyu-London-Broil-.png Resources - Marinated Wagyu London Broil - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/651e3b51d8887e39cbd8ac25/e6b79ea6-940f-499b-91c5-eebd103a3c0f/top-round-london-broil-MorganBrookFarm-018.jpg Resources - Marinated Wagyu London Broil - Shopping for Wagyu London Broil Find the tastiest, quality Wagyu beef cuts at Morgan Brook Farm, where our grass-fed cows receive a specialized finishing diet and are handled humanely from field to freezer.

If your burgers are undercooked, family and friends are at risk of getting sick, and if they are overcooked, your burgers will be dry, gray, and not as tasty as they could be. The best way to ensure you have a perfect burger every time is to use a meat thermometer to find the internal temperature. As you get close to reaching your burger’s cook time, insert a meat thermometer directly into the center of the patty while it is still on your grill or skillet. You will then be able to easily decide if your burger is ready to be removed based on its internal temperature and the level of doneness you are looking for. The ideal temperatures for varying levels of doneness are: Medium-rare: 135º - 140º (57º - 60º C) Medium: 145º - 150º (63º - 66º C) Well-done: 160º - 165º (71º - 74º C) Remember that the meat will continue to cook after it is removed from the heat. Factor in an increase of about 5º after removal when determining cook times. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/651e3b51d8887e39cbd8ac25/af7c8007-1dd0-4e61-b049-5a401d5a8914/LowRes-StyledFoodPhotos-MorganBrookFarm-013.JPG Resources - Bacon Cheddar Wagyu Burgers - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.morganbrookfarmvt.com/resources/wagyu-bottom-round-roast monthly 0.5 2023-10-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/651e3b51d8887e39cbd8ac25/85d9a007-d4e6-41e0-a5c3-6021eb9907fd/Screenshot+2023-10-05+at+7.29.01+AM.png Resources - Wagyu Bottom Round Roast - What is a Bottom Round Cut? A bottom round cut is a lean cut of meat from the outer rear leg of the cow. It tends to be more muscular since this area is used for a lot of movement, resulting in lower amounts of marbling. This type of cut benefits from being slow-cooked at low temperatures, which helps dissolve the tissue and make the roast more tender and flavorful. Tenderizing methods, such as slow cooking or marinating, are excellent ways to prep this type of cut. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/651e3b51d8887e39cbd8ac25/290e337a-620e-4b32-85af-333c6f3706ec/Tenderizing-meat.png Resources - Wagyu Bottom Round Roast - Tenderizing the Meat Although slow cooking is our preferred method for this cut of meat, there are a few different ways you can tenderize a cut of steak that also work well with your bottom round roast: Pounding with a meat mallet – physically break down some of those fibers and connective tissues with a meat or kitchen mallet. Mallets typically have both a flat and a spiky side. Spiky points cut up the connective tissue and muscle fibers, making it easier to cook quickly over high heat. The flatter side is ideal for breaking up the tissue and creating a uniform thickness. Salting – salt your Wagyu roast beef up to an hour in advance of cooking to not only season the meat but to break down proteins and make the meat more tender. Use a liberal amount of salt to coat, then scrape off the coating before cooking. Marinating – acidic components like citrus juice, buttermilk, yogurt, wine, or vinegar help break down tough connective tissue and muscle fibers. Mix in oil and your favorite spices to make a delicious marinade that your meat can soak in, refrigerated, for anywhere from a couple of hours up to overnight. https://www.morganbrookfarmvt.com/resources/category/london+broil monthly 0.5 https://www.morganbrookfarmvt.com/resources/category/steak monthly 0.5 https://www.morganbrookfarmvt.com/resources/category/Education monthly 0.5 https://www.morganbrookfarmvt.com/resources/category/recipe monthly 0.5 https://www.morganbrookfarmvt.com/resources/category/ribeye monthly 0.5 https://www.morganbrookfarmvt.com/resources/category/bottom+round monthly 0.5 https://www.morganbrookfarmvt.com/resources/category/ground+beef monthly 0.5 https://www.morganbrookfarmvt.com/resources/category/roast monthly 0.5 https://www.morganbrookfarmvt.com/contact daily 0.75 2024-12-19 https://www.morganbrookfarmvt.com/home daily 1.0 2023-10-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/651e3b51d8887e39cbd8ac25/474c7df5-84c3-40cc-b7a6-08e0a3ba72cb/LowRes-StyledFoodPhotos-MorganBrookFarm-015.JPG Home - The Morgan Brook Farm Way Wagyu beef is highly sought after.

Our pasture raised Wagyu beef cattle roam our 400-acre farm in the warmer months and enjoy winters in our state-of-the-art barns. We love our cattle, and that’s one reason they enjoy better views of our farm's mountain springs and cascading waterfalls than we do! We raise our Wagyu beef longer than traditional beef (three years compared to 15 to 18 months). Unlike regular beef, Wagyu cattle are not encouraged to gain weight quickly. This slow growth creates the most tender meat. Wagyu are famous for their intramuscular fat, known as marbling, which develops naturally throughout their lives. It also allows us to get to know and meet each cow’s needs better. Bill, Ryan, Kaylee, and Mike, our dedicated herdsmen, give our cattle individual attention around the clock, whether birthing a calf or choosing the right vitamins and supplements to complement their diets. The humane, cruelty-free lifestyle we provide our cattle, combined with their Japanese Wagyu beef genes, allows us to produce some of the best beef in the world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/651e3b51d8887e39cbd8ac25/9cbe0a01-19a4-4222-b978-32bbfd64d1dd/butcher-barn-vt-wagyu-butchers-morgan-brook-farm-westford-vt.jpg Our Farm - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/651e3b51d8887e39cbd8ac25/41fe674a-4559-4be4-8a51-7e5714cee797/334432728_221506753777064_5215053976201725867_n.jpg Our Farm - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/651e3b51d8887e39cbd8ac25/4cc53c4b-8ac0-49fc-b443-af61b7a2fbf7/334572512_755949545839015_1933188241284526613_n.jpg Our Farm - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618497259178-6XJGK9GR6YAVBQL5L519/20140301_Trade-151_012-2.jpg Our Farm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694583486-2PQT0LQ193RL7MCB6DX4/20140228_Trade+151_0046.jpg Our Farm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694644871-IC85FNH781UNZSZEGHDR/Aro+Ha_0428.jpg Our Farm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607638148090-Y6OFDI575CM3NQV732RJ/Large+JPG-Aro+Ha_0387.jpg Our Farm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607628784608-5D22G9GPLHDSAB2IXC2G/Large+JPG-Aro+Ha_0638.jpg Our Farm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847743861-GWVMBPD7Z7WQRQL9IZZ8/Large+JPG-Aro+Ha_0380.jpg Our Farm https://www.morganbrookfarmvt.com/what-is-wagyu-beef daily 0.75 2023-10-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/651e3b51d8887e39cbd8ac25/2a962c2e-ba0a-4d93-aef7-99dcfe8a6ce9/Screenshot+2023-10-05+at+3.00.05+AM.jpg What is wagyu beef? - American Wagyu vs. Japanese Wagyu In the U.S., most meat sold as Wagyu beef is actually crossbred with Angus cattle and is technically American Wagyu. It’s rare to find purebred Japanese Wagyu in the states. Morgan Brook Farm is unusual in that we are one of the few farms producing both 100 percent purebred Japanese Wagyu beef and American Wagyu. The difference is in the taste: Pure Japanese Wagyu is exceptionally marbled and tender. It’s best enjoyed in small portions, like a rich chocolate cake. American Wagyu is also heavily marbled but slightly less than pure Japanese Wagyu. It has more of the roasty steak flavor Americans love so much. We sell pure Japanese Wagyu beef and American Wagyu so you can choose which meat best suits your taste preferences. Which type of Wagyu will you enjoy most? There’s only one way to find out! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/651e3b51d8887e39cbd8ac25/3b23778d-8134-4c8c-8851-8c2301d97a1f/LowRes-StyledFoodPhotos-MorganBrookFarm-002.jpg What is wagyu beef? - What is the Difference Between Wagyu and Kobe Beef? Wagyu is the umbrella term for many different types of Japanese cattle breeds, one of which is Kobe beef. Kobe is named after a region in Japan and must be raised in Kobe city under strict regulations to earn the title of Kobe beef. Much like wine can only carry the name Champagne if it’s made in Champagne, France. If not, it’s called sparkling wine or Prosecco. The same goes for Wagyu. Other breeds of Wagyu include Matsusaka to Ohmi, each from specific regions in Japan. They’re all types of Wagyu that must be born, raised, and slaughtered in Japan to be called Kobe. At Morgan Brook Farm, we raise two types of Wagyu. One type has purebred Japanese bloodlines and is sold on our Wagyu Steaks, Ribs & Roasts page as well as our Ground Wagyu page. The other type is a cross between Angus and Wagyu and is called American Wagyu. As our farm is in Vermont and not Japan, we can’t call our products Kobe beef, however, the purebred Wagyu we produce is nearly indistinguishable from Kobe beef. American Wagyu, on the other hand, is more beef-forward in flavor than purebred Wagyu. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/651e3b51d8887e39cbd8ac25/eebd82a1-08eb-4740-96ed-8bf7c726097d/StyledFoodPhotos-MorganBrookFarm-014.jpg What is wagyu beef? - Cost of Wagyu Beef Per Pound Wagyu beef sells for $15 to $80 per pound, depending on the cut and grading. Why? Wagyu are fed multiple times a day for three-plus years, requiring more food and care than traditional beef. If you’re tired of grocery store steaks you have to gnaw through, it's well worth purchasing Wagyu beef instead. Plus, Wagyu from warehouse clubs are hardly Wagyu at all. Many sellers can’t guarantee the purity of their cattle’s genes. Wagyu, when purchased directly from a farm, means careful oversight of the ancestral lines and the lifecycle of every animal. Wagyu raised on a family farm will consistently deliver exceptional flavor and tenderness. Whether you choose burgers, a roast, or steaks, everyone around the table will be singing your praises as they enjoy the delicacy of Wagyu beef. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/651e3b51d8887e39cbd8ac25/b6f5d2cd-df1d-4346-8c68-1b9966e9770f/porterhouse-MorganBrookFarm-009.jpg What is wagyu beef? - Wagyu means “Japanese beef” or “Japanese cow.” Wagyu beef is one of the most prized meats in the world. It is genetically prone to marbling fat inside its muscles. That’s something no other livestock does. The result is a juicy, succulent piece of beef that melts in your mouth. Plus, Wagyu beef is healthy for you too. Once you taste Wagyu, it'll be the only beef you’ll want to eat! “Wagyu is arguably the best and most expensive beef money can buy. With its exceptional marbling, superior tenderness and exquisite flavor, it’s no wonder Wagyu is the pinnacle of the beef world… With its proven health benefits, choosing Wagyu isn’t just a treat for your taste buds, it’s great for your heart as well.” — Wagyu Beef Association https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/651e3b51d8887e39cbd8ac25/b2775526-9806-40cf-89d2-e67e0bc0189f/LowRes-StyledFoodPhotos-MorganBrookFarm-011.jpg What is wagyu beef? - Wagyu vs. Regular Beef Wagyu beef: Has health benefits regular beef doesn’t have, including heart-healthy monounsaturated fatty acids Contains more protein per pound than Angus beef Brings premium quality steaks to your table Not all Wagyu is created equal, though. Wagyu cattle require specialized care to develop the flavor and health benefits in their meat. With Wagyu from a chain grocery or warehouse store, you can’t be sure of the animal care standards or purity of the cattle DNA. That’s why it’s best to order directly from a family farm you can trust. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/651e3b51d8887e39cbd8ac25/603f7371-8569-4c4f-af77-bca215605ac7/LowRes-StyledFoodPhotos-MorganBrookFarm-015.jpg What is wagyu beef? - Wagyu Tenderness Many steaks on the market are tender yet lack flavor. Wagyu delivers tenderness and flavor--a win-win for steak lovers. Did you know tenderness traits can actually be found in the DNA of Wagyu? At Morgan Brook Farm, we deliver melt-in-your-mouth Wagyu tenderness by selecting cattle with the most tender genes possible (at a rating of 10 on a 1-10 scale). If tender texture is your favorite part of dinner, we recommend trying our filet mignon, petite tender, or flat iron blade steak. Each of these three steaks will deliver the Wagyu tenderness these cattle are known for. Their tenderness also makes them highly in-demand cuts. https://www.morganbrookfarmvt.com/why-buy-wagyu-beef daily 0.75 2023-10-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/651e3b51d8887e39cbd8ac25/5ca3a99f-15a4-4301-b403-762ef070ca66/boneless-ribeye-steak-MorganBrookFarm-007.jpg Why buy wagyu beef? - Where Can I Buy Wagyu Beef?

Healthy eating doesn’t have to be boring. With Wagyu, you can have your steak and be healthy, too. Unlike traditional beef, Wagyu beef contains healthy ratios of monounsaturated fats and essential fatty acids like omega-3 and 6. Research suggests that eating a diet that includes highly-marbled Wagyu beef can promote heart health and reduce your risk of cardiovascular disease. How? Wagyu is one of the only breeds that build up healthy intramuscular fat, known as marbling. This marbling creates high proportions of monounsaturated fatty acids. These are the same fatty acids in avocados, olive oil, nuts, and salmon. Monosaturated fatty acids, like oleic acid, are up to 50 percent higher in Wagyu than in American grass-fed beef. These healthy fats are known to decrease low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol, sometimes called “bad cholesterol,” while increasing high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol, known as “good cholesterol.” Another reason to pick up the fork? Essential fatty acids, like omega-3 and 6 have been linked to reduced risk of cardiovascular disease, cancer, Alzheimer’s, and other conditions. Experts say all these healthy fatty acids add to Wagyu’s buttery, melt-in-your-mouth taste and make it a functional food. That means not only does Wagyu provide the nutrition you need and the deliciousness you crave, but it may also prevent disease. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/651e3b51d8887e39cbd8ac25/3181d345-3849-4bf6-9bd2-6191d99bf386/334572512_755949545839015_1933188241284526613_n.jpg Why buy wagyu beef? - Is Wagyu Beef Humanely Raised? As farmers, we are dedicated to providing a humane and low-stress life for our animals. Our cattle receive a nutritious diet customized to their age, comfortable shelter, and plenty of pasture to roam. We never use growth hormones or steroids. Research has proven that when you give Wagyu the care and diet they need, it pays off; their meat is higher quality, perfectly marbled, and healthier for you too. Relaxed animals produce more tender cuts of steak, roasts, and ribs. One way we keep our animals relaxed is by spending time with them, keeping their areas nice and clean, and making sure they’re comfortable. This stimulates blood flow and keeps their muscles from tensing up. So the next time you dig into a juicy piece of Wagyu beef, remember that relaxation was key in making it so delicious! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/651e3b51d8887e39cbd8ac25/d4ab18cd-41ee-49b5-96eb-a6a485b63cd6/Screenshot+2023-10-05+at+3.11.10+AM.png Why buy wagyu beef? - Is Wagyu Beef Grass Fed? At Morgan Brook Farm, our purebred and American Wagyu beef are grass-fed, but not all Wagyu on the market are. When it comes to raising the most delicious Wagyu beef, cattle that aren’t grass-fed won't deliver the same flavor explosion and health benefits. Research shows that grass-fed beef is able to produce 300 to 500 percent more linoleic acid, including omega-6 fatty acids, in its meat, than grain-fed beef, adding to the health benefits and rich flavor profile of Wagyu. In the warm months, our cattle enjoy pastures of fresh grass and wildflowers and can roam to nearby springs and waterfalls. They also eat hay, silage (fermented grasses), and grains, all grown at our farm. https://www.morganbrookfarmvt.com/our-butchers daily 0.75 2023-12-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/651e3b51d8887e39cbd8ac25/15b54708-03f4-4296-b0af-aca3d5a86ce8/Screenshot+2023-10-05+at+2.30.14+AM.png Our Butchers - Where the Wow Factor Comes From Farm-raised and processed means you can trust our Wagyu beef is of the highest quality.

Being located on premises means our artisan butchers work in partnership with our farmers to ensure our meat is as tender as it is delicious. Our butchers harvest hard-to-find cuts by cutting and hanging the quarters themselves. Ever heard of a Denver steak? It’s uncommon because only highly skilled Wagyu butchers know how to cut this delicacy. Our Denver steak is one of our most popular steaks because it’s a limited-edition cut that delivers flavor and juiciness on par with a pot roast.

Where other Wagyu sellers may purchase a quarter of Wagyu cow and portion it for resale, we provide premium quality by raising our cattle from birth at our farm. With special care by our highly-trained farm team, our Wagyu cattle develop deep marbling in their muscles over three years. Our team processes each cow on the premises before they are hung in quarters, and aged to perfection in refrigeration rooms until they are perfectly portioned for your table (or grill!). Because our butcher shop is located on our farm, our team cares for each animal personally. This means they develop a deep appreciation for the cattle and learn how to harvest Wagyu sustainably. Your dinner is handled with loving care, from birth on our farm right to your doorstep. Every juicy steak, succulent burger and savory roast has been cherished at every step of the way so you can relax into the joy of an outstanding meal. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/651e3b51d8887e39cbd8ac25/1703017506657-ADLZDPRPMH1Z4RU7WP51/BB%2Bstaff%2B2023.jpg Our Butchers https://www.morganbrookfarmvt.com/farm-store daily 0.75 2025-04-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/651e3b51d8887e39cbd8ac25/1701966610906-XZD7MXJVGF6MSA6W012O/MorganBrookFarm-35.jpg Farm Store https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/651e3b51d8887e39cbd8ac25/d8306e22-6f15-4f95-8b65-ee2888383d5d/MorganBrookFarm-11.jpg Farm Store https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/651e3b51d8887e39cbd8ac25/daf9f997-997a-4439-817d-d805a900f08b/MorganBrookFarm-5.jpg Farm Store https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/651e3b51d8887e39cbd8ac25/197e3b60-97ec-4dc2-81b8-ef567d729b72/Westford-Vermont-Butcher-Shop-Butcher-Barn-1024x1024.jpg Farm Store https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/651e3b51d8887e39cbd8ac25/2b0cfc46-7ac7-4b13-af75-bcfdb78f2d18/MRH06763-20211105.jpg Farm Store https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/651e3b51d8887e39cbd8ac25/1701966631342-D787GZVKWINCVOETM4IH/MRH06767-20211105.jpg Farm Store https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/651e3b51d8887e39cbd8ac25/6a7063b3-33cb-47c1-9359-5bfce05219e3/MorganBrookFarm-9.jpg Farm Store https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/651e3b51d8887e39cbd8ac25/a9847bbc-92df-44ff-a696-4de2f702d598/Take-Home-Food-From-The-Best-Butcher-in-Essex-Vermont-1024x1024.jpg Farm Store https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/651e3b51d8887e39cbd8ac25/2672381b-4c54-4e4e-92dc-4b8ef6d70e38/Wagyu-Beef-Specials.jpg Farm Store https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/651e3b51d8887e39cbd8ac25/1701966804569-SQ3048UXZFRXBJV5JN8H/MRH06805-20211105.jpg Farm Store https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/651e3b51d8887e39cbd8ac25/68dabbab-c658-44d9-b922-9f10f5d3d8ac/MorganBrookFarm-3.jpg Farm Store
