Out of every cut we raise, chicken thighs are the one John cooks for himself more than any other.

Breast is fine when you’re cooking with a sauce — pasta night, Alfredo, a stir-fry where chicken is one ingredient in a bigger recipe. But when dinner is supposed to be about the chicken, it’s hard to beat a bone-in, skin-on thigh that’s gone properly crisp on the skin. Crispy skin, juicy dark meat underneath, almost impossible to overcook.

The chickens get moved to a fresh patch of grass every single morning — new bugs, new shade, a clean spot for the day. That daily rotation is the reason the dark meat tastes the way it does. The thighs are where all of it concentrates.

This week they’re the feature at every market.

With Memorial Day around the corner, we're doing something a little different this week — Ground Brisket. The best burger joints in Texas figured this out a long time ago: grind the brisket instead of the chuck, and you get more depth of flavor and a better crust off the grill. $11/lb., same price as our regular ground beef. 6 lb. bundle at $55. One-time run, no limit.

Order form is open at amberoaksranch.com.

We’ve had a significant amount of rain over the last few weeks. Thankful, but the flooding can cause a lot of damage.

This week we're featuring pork chops, and the story behind them starts with how our pigs actually live.

Our pigs spend their days on pasture with access to fresh grass, roots, nuts, and grubs — the way pigs are built to live. That variety in diet is what gives the meat real depth of flavor. And there's one rule worth knowing when you cook them: take the chop off the heat at 145°F and rest it three minutes. You'll see a faint blush of pink in the center — that's exactly where pasture-raised pork tastes its best.

Every customer who picks up chops this week takes home a free printed cooking-tip card. Three methods, three seasoning ideas, two recipe links from the website. Two pages, fits in your back pocket.

Y'all, beef ribs are 20% off this week. Eight dollars a pound instead of ten, and I'd love to move some of them out of the cooler and onto your tables.

If it's your first time cooking one, we put together a guide that walks through every method — braise, smoke, oven, slow cooker — with notes specific to grass-finished beef. Link in the comments alongside the pre-order form.

Catch us at all five markets this week, Tuesday through Sunday.
