Bread and Butter Meat Balls

On Presidents Day I got the chance to visit one of my favorite farms, Bread and Butter Farm. http://www.breadandbutterfarm.com/ Bread and Butter Farm is a new farm located in the towns of South Burlington and Shelburne, about 5 miles from Downtown Burlington. They have many dreams and strive to become a Community Farm. Currently, the operate a small dairy, have a wood-fired oven for baking bread, and grow lettuces in a greenhouse. They also have a small farm store where they sell raw jersey milk, meats, eggs and breads.

After chatting with one of the owners, I bought a pound of ground beef from their freezer. Bread and Butter Farm hopes to grow their beef cow operation and are planning on getting bull calves from Shelburne Farms.

What is better than spaghetti and meatballs, right?
