A Final Word from Eversfield
Choosing organic means you’re already getting better quality meat — and that means leftovers will taste better for longer, too. Whether it’s a sausage sizzling the next day in a breakfast hash or chargrilled chicken jazzing up your salad, your BBQ leftovers are ready for their encore.
Waste less, eat well — that’s the organic way.
