Moon Meadow Beef V4

Due to the untimely death of owner Gary Marchi, Moon Meadow Beef will be closing, thus no longer taking meat orders or selling at the farmer's markets.

We apologize for not being able to continue on with Gary's great work. Gary put his heart and soul into his business and there is no way that anyone could ever take his place and work for customers the way that he did, so for that reason and many others we won't be able to continue.

The family thanks you for your kind words and support since his passing.

If you would like to support the feeding of the cows until we are able to sell them please visit the Gary Marchi go fund me page that has been set up in his name.

Thank you again so much for your love of Gary and your patronage over the years.

I bought two porter house steaks at the Pleasanton Farmer's Market and I have to say that it is easily the best steak I have ever had!!!! Me and my girlfriend said we were only going to eat half each and save the rest for lunch. Didnt happen we each ate the whole thing. FAT AND ALL! If my teeth could crack bones I would have ate that too!! I want to buy a larger quantity this time and fill up my freezer for the summer! I am starting to wonder what Safeway is selling us as grass fed because it tastes NOTHING like yours!!!

I've been purchasing Moon Meadow pork, lamb and beef at our farmers market in Pleasanton. The quality of the product is amazing. It reminds me of the types of product I grew up with. I will be back again and again, and absolutely recommend them to my friends.

Rachel Rodrigues. Pleasanton Farmer's Market Customer
Had the porterhouse steak, and it was really good!
NY Strip side was really flavorful, and filet mignon side was super juicy.

Just finished my first tri-tip from Moon Meadow. I prepared it as usual with a nice paprika based rub, placed fat cap up, smoked with a blend of hard-woods. The results surprised me! First, I felt the smooth fat free carving difference. Then the taste is subtlety more earthy. Just a fantastic piece of meat. Will buy more and try more cuts.

I happen to come across their booth one day at the farmers market. Was skeptical at first but figured I’d give them a try. Since then, I’ve been going out of my way for over 6 months to get Moon Meadow products. Their Ribeyes are out of this world and I refuse to buy them anywhere else!

Ernie M., Menlo Park and Sunnyvale Farmer's Markets Customer
Your chuck roast was beyond imagination delicious. No longer do I live in Atherton, and stumbled on the Sunday Farmer's Market.
The recipe we used for the pot roast is a decades-old family fave. That said, it's NEVER been as delicious as we tasted tonight with your chuck roast.
For real. I wish I'd bought a frozen one and thrown it into my suitcase for my trip back to New York this Tuesday.
For the record, the dog devoured the leftover juice on our plates, too. And with equal gusto.

Lee, Menlo Park Farmer's Market Customer
By far the best beef I’ve ever tasted,
and it is humanely raised.

Jean, San Jose Farmer’s Market customer
The rib eye cut from moon meadows is the best steak I’ve had. You don’t get that heavy feeling after eating it, a feeling I typically get at steakhouses or when I purchase conventional corn fed beef.
I highly recommend trying it, you’ll never want to eat any other type of beef.

Omer, Sunnyvale Farmer's Market Customer
I made the best Provencal beef stew
with Moon Meadow chuck roast.

Rex, Sunnyvale Farmer’s Market customer
This is the only place I trust for my meat. It's high quality and delicious. I've never had a bad experience with anything I've purchased, which includes ground beef and lamb, several different types of sausage, burgers, ribs and steak. You can absolutely taste the difference between Moon Meadow and store bought meat.

Katie Dawson, Fremont Farmer's Market Customer
I hardly consume meat, especially not conventional meat. I am very selective and Moon Meadow Beef has always consistently delivered quality meat and it is packaged so it stores well. I keep it frozen for when I have meat eating guests(parents, family). My guest love it, always note the quality. thank you moon meadow beef and your knowledgeable friendly staff.

Yvette, Saratoga Farmer's Market Customer
These are some of the best steaks
you will ever have.

Jeremy, Sunnyvale Farmer’s Market customer
I love the flavor of the beef roasts. Even my mother-in-law agrees that the pork chops are excellent. The bacon tastes wonderful and is just right, not too salty.
