My delivery from Good Chop arrived the other day and it did not disappoint. First of all the delivery was seamless. And in this porch pirate climate, that is something that stands out.
My items arrived sealed tight and ice cold. Last night we made the burgers. I wanted to go outside and grill them, but it was freezing. It was a skillet adventure and it didn’t disappoint.
Just so you know, this is organic meat from American farms. Why does this matter? You would be surprised how much of our meat is imported. In 2022, the largest import of monthly beef came from Brazil. I am a believer in building up where I live, since I have to live here. Besides, this was one of the most delicious pieces of ground beef I have had in awhile. I think that buying local is one of the best ways to build up your area. That’s actually how it gets done–with your actual dollars. I learned this from sitting on a few of my city’s committee’s.
I actually live around quite a few farms and I plan to bring my support even more local. I want to try Kosher butchers and vegetable CSA’s. I have known about this for years but the frugal person in me would never do it. Then I thought about how much I ran to Whole Foods and decided to run some numbers. The math more than worked out. I was also inspired to do this because I was part of a group that worked with Creation Justice Ministries. This ministry sees the beauty of the environment and preserving God’s creation and bringing about justice through small acts.
Last summer, there was a talk I went to one time about “communion” and it framed the act of farm to table as an act of communion and community. It was such a beautiful concept that I felt like this is absolutely the way it should be. Why should we watch farmers on television talk about their needs when we can help them and ourselves. I personally believe that better quality leads to less waste.
QUALITY OVER EVERYTHING
A neighbor of mine grows tomatoes and served them to us at a party. Those tomatoes tasted like candy. I couldn’t stop eating them. These are not tomatoes I would waste. The watery tomatoes, maybe, not these.
Lastly, Good Chop added a few special gifts. I love gifts!
I am a mom of a son who is very into fashion. He is now into the quarter zip craze. Last week, it was Nike Tech, so I hope quarter zips are still relevant by Christmas. Good Chop just sent over a nice discount code from Collars & Co. This is a company that appeared on Shark Tank, and I am excited to see what it’s all about.
So tell me what you think? Are you ready to order? Don’t forget to visit our shop for your faith-inspired clothing as well! These hoodies are so nice and thick. Perfect for cold weather and we have more things coming.
It’s about transformation. With God all things are possible.
Happy Holidays!
