Scott S.'s Profile
Date
I had done Crossfit before and Saul recognized that. He took me to another level and really focused on my gymnastics, mobility and olympic lifts. This personal attention really made the difference.
I wish I lived closer so I could continue to go all the time!

I used them a few years ago when moving away from LA down to San Diego. They were on time, very professional and took good care of everything.
I normally despise moving but they made the experience much more enjoyable.

I recently thawed it and cooked some of the best burgers I've had in a while. Not only is LMR's beef less expensive than some other alternatives (e.g. Prather ranch, Eel River, Estancia), it also had a great flavor and texture. it's about as far from CAFO / factory farmed beef as you can get!
I only bought 2 pounds when I was there - I wish I had bought more!!

Literally, you're driving down CA-29 and all you can see on either side of the highway for miles are vineyards. All of a sudden a sign for "grass fed beef" pops up out of nowhere. We had to check it out.
Not far from the road are a few parking spots followed by an oasis like open-air pavilion. It turns out that LMR (which began as a vineyard 20 years ago) started an organic farm on a few acres and now sells their products directly at the edge of their farm. They also sell at the local farmers market and directly to some Napa restaurants.
Their selection of produce was amazing - onions, heirloom tomatoes, swiss chard, squash, etc. - all local, organic and sustainably grown! If I lived in Napa, I'd shop here everyday.
The also had 2 huge frezer cases full of vacuum packed and frozen 100% grass feed beef. Their cattle are scottish highland hairy coos and so they naturally run leaner since their don't need to carry as much fat due to their insulating hair.
LMR farms is owned by a husband and wife who also own a vineyard and olive orchard in which they produce a few organic varieties of both. Very Joel Salatain / Polyface farms + wine and olive oil with a California twist -- read Omnivores Dilemma / see Food Inc. for more about that.
They also have a few dozen chickens who live in a very large house, shaded by an almond tree and were eating tons of vegetables when I was there. They have tons of room to run around and get 14 hours of sun light per day. I haven't tried their eggs yet, but I bet they're great.
I'm going back here every time I'm somewhere near St. Helena! It's great change of pace from the mega and boutique wine only vineyards. Oh and you can also take tours of their farm, their vineyard/ranch either by foot or by jeep.

Main flaw was the drink menu: the "house cabernet" for $7 was two buck chuck, and the beer list was so so.

They source local ingredients and claim that their beef is from a local rancher and is 100% grassfed. Cob salad was OK - weak dressing.
Huge space and lots of tables. Even if you have to wait, it's not terribly long.
Listed in: Best Happy Hour
Goat cheese gratinee.
Beet salad.
Oatmeal stout ribs + stout.
Asparagus with pancetta.
Office burger + sweet potato fries (not in a shopping cart anymore)
or Bistro steak if you're cutting out wheat / gluten.
Top it off with a 750ml belgian beer in a bucket of ice.
