Slow Cooker Pot Roast

We now have fresh, local beef in our market! Why not try out one of our rump roasts in this easy to make pot roast? Simply add your ingredients to the slow cooker in the morning and come home to a home cooked meal made with ALL local products from our market! 

Did you know that our beef is actually leaner than most meats you will find in the grocery store? Watch your cooking time with these fantastic cuts of meat, the cooking time will be less than anticipated! The lean quality of our beef is due to the fact that our beef cows are mostly grass fed, with some veggie scraps as a treat, as well as grain during certain points in their life.
