Testimonials
My family loves Purple Ribbon Beef. It's noticeably better than store-bought beef. It's juicier, fuller, and has a fresher taste. I also love trying out new/local items from the General Store. They always have fun local products like candles, honey, and granola.

I bought a roast at the Clear Lake Farmer's Market. It went in the Crock-Pot with potatoes and carrots. It was awesome! Now I'm using the leftovers for Barley Soup!

My family bought some Ribeyes and New York strips last Saturday at the Ames Farmers Market. It was hands down the best steaks we have ever grilled! The marbling was perfect and made for the most tender and flavorful Saturday night dinner for the Father’s Day weekend! We will definitely be buying more meat in the future!
