It's In Season; our weekly segment where we highlight what's fresh and affordable at local farmers markets.
While some veggie farmers take the winter off, meat producers are steadfast year round. Amelia Tarpey is a Program and Publicity Manager for GrowNYC Greenmarkets. She said prices vary depending on the cut and vender, but some cuts of meat like pork shoulder, beef shank and top round roasts can be better value for your money than what you can find at a supermarket because of their freshness. Try a long braise with osso buco, steak sandwiches with a top round, or impress with the Puerto Rican classic pernil with pork shoulder.
