We made our awesome Kimchi and had lots of beautiful brine left after we packaged it. It is a thick, spicy and very flavorful brine that still has chunks of napa cabbage in it! It is absolutely delicious on rice, meats, eggs and just as a dipping sauce. It is also a wonderful soup base. Just like our Kimchi the sauce is living and vibrant, full of naturally occurring probiotics, never heated, and as with all of our ferments, its flavor continues to evolve with time. Ingredients: Napa Cabbage, Daikon Radish*, Scallions*, Apples*, Onions*, Garlic*, Ginger*, Rice Flour*, Himalayan Pink Salt, Gochugaru Red Pepper Flakes, Sugar*

5 of our incredibly healthy and delicious 1 lb packages Piedmontese Ground Beef! An incredibly lean ground beef - almost NO run off - yet still moist and delicious! Piedmontese is a naturally low fat, low cholesterol beef. Due to it's genetic disposition to "double muscling", this beef upholds its integrity, tenderness, and flavor. WHY PIEDMONTESE? From the Piedmont of Italy to the Piedmont of Georgia, we bring you a very rare, very gourmet, heritage breed! Piedmontese is unique in that it is one of the only breeds to carry the myostatin gene - resulting in a "double muscling" trait and an animal that is magnificent to behold - think Hulk Hogan...but beautiful. Which then translates to an absolutely beautiful cut of meat with fine fibers and very low fat. It is so lean the American Heart Association endorses Piedmontese as a Heart Healthy Food! And it's history is pretty incredible too- the purity of the Piedmontese bloodline dates back 25,000 years ago to the late stone age...back when homo neanderthalensis coexisted with homo sapiens, stalking wooly mammoths and being stalked by saber toothed cats. Making its bloodline "one of the most unique gene pool of any breed of cattle in the world." FOR THE LOVE OF COMMUNITY & ALL THINGS FARMING... Our farming philosophy is pure and simple - respecting our animals and our pastures with no antibiotics, hormones or harmful chemicals...from birth to finish. We choose to crossbreed our certified Piedmontese bull, Al, to "mom's" of various breeds who are chosen for their propensity to grass finishing. Thus tailoring our beef for superior qualities. The "double muscling" gene, however, is dominant and is the influencing trait in all of our Piedmontese beef. We like to think if it as the miracle meat..."You can have your steak and eat it too!"

The best, most flavorful Angus Ground Beef at a bargain price. Covenant Valley Farms “Bringing Nature Back to the Farm” means quality meat the natural way. Our grass-fed Angus cattle are raised without hormones, steroids, or antibiotics. Through humane treatment and daily interaction, we are able to minimize their stress, and, in turn, add to the tenderness and quality of the meat. “Bringing Nature Back to the Farm” also means that we utilize pasture rotation for our cattle without the use of grains or feed additives. Our pasture management system does not include the use of any herbicides, pesticides, or synthetic fertilizers, instead we grow clover, which benefits our bees, cattle, and land.

Our cattle are slow maturing to give you the taste of “real” beef and are aged 14-21 days after processing to optimize tenderness. Our Angus cattle have provided us with tender, mouthwatering cuts of meat.

Flat iron steak—also known as a top blade steak, top blade filet, and shoulder top blade steak—is cut from the shoulder of the cow (called the chuck) and is nicely marbled with lots of beefy flavors. When cooked properly, a flat iron steak turns out tender and juicy. The nice amount of marbling creates a steak that is extremely tender and full of flavor. It is best when cooked on the grill and can be incorporated in a variety of recipes. WHY PIEDMONTESE? From the Piedmont of Italy to the Piedmont of Georgia, our grass fed Piedmontese is an exceptionally rare & gourmet, heritage breed... NATURALLY LEAN & TENDER. Piedmontese is one of the only breeds known to carry a "double muscling" gene. This naturally occurring gene produces meat that contains LESS cholesterol and fat than skinless chicken breast while preserving UNSURPASSED tenderness and flavor. The American Heart Association has actually declared Piedmontese a Heart Healthy Food. It is why we like to say, "You can have your steak & eat it too!" RARE & VALUABLE. The purity of their line traces back 25,000 years to the late stone age - a time when wooly mammoths and saber toothed cats roamed. For the sake of genetic preservation, Piedmontese are still a rarity outside of Italy. In fact, there exists in the rolling hills of the Italian Piedmont, a small association of farmers who maintain tight control over what may be "the most unique gene pool of any breed of cattle in the world." HYBRID VIGOR. We are one of the only Piedmontese farmers in the Southeast. Our Piedmontese beeves are sired by our magnificent and gentle bull, Al - a certified purebred Piedmontese.

Our farming philosophy is pure and simple - respecting our animals and our pastures with no antibiotics, hormones or harmful chemicals...from birth to finish. We choose to crossbreed our certified Piedmontese bull, Al, to "mom's" of various breeds who are chosen for their propensity to grass finishing. Thus tailoring our beef for superior qualities. The "double muscling" gene, however, is dominant and is the influencing trait in all of our Piedmontese beef. We like to say with Piedmontese, "You can have your steak and eat it too!"

A lean cut from the hip of the cow, Sirloin Steaks are slightly tougher than other cuts and ideal for quick cooking methods such as grilling. WHY PIEDMONTESE? It is a gourmet heritage breed originally from the Piedmont of Italy. Due to a naturally occurring "double muscling" gene, Piedmontese is incredibly lean while preserving unsurpassed tenderness. So lean the American Heart Association endorses Piedmontese as a Heart Healthy Food! If that is not enough to entice you, it's history might - the purity of the Piedmontese bloodline dates back 25,000 years ago to the late stone age...back when homo neanderthalensis coexisted with homo sapiens, stalking wooly mammoths and being stalked by saber toothed cats. And due to it's unique bloodline and gourmet quality it is exceptionally rare and valuable. We are one of the few farmers in the Southeast...even the nation to raise Piedmontese Beef.

Beet Kvass is a traditional fermented beverage made from raw beets that goes back centuries, if not longer. Beets by themselves are considered by many to be a nutritional powerhouse that have many health promoting properties, and the fermentation process multiplies these, resulting in a clean and refreshing health tonic with many health promoting qualities, among which many believe to be: *efficient hydration (*far surpassing any of the commercial 'sports drinks' on the market), *blood builder, *liver detoxifier & cleanser, *immune system builder, and the list goes on. To find out for yourself just how healthy beets are, just google it.
