What about bone marrow?

Don’t know.  Certainly love what I taste when I have osso bucco.

But I have never really focused on the subject until our butcher, Doug Aylestock of Blue Ridge Meats, cut up some from our latest animal to introduce us to the treat.  I’ve always been really happy with the soup bones we get from our animals and so I was only mildly interested.  Wooz, on the other hand, got very excited when she saw the four bags of marrow bones on the gurney.

Apparently marrow bones are just the ticket if you want to make serious beef stock….waaay better than the store-bought stuff.  Not only that, but apparently it’s safe for dogs to gnaw on afterwards.

If you’d like to order some, just call or email.  And here’s one recipe:

Bone marrow has concentrated within it all the good micronutrients and most of the websites I checked rave about the health benefits.
