Beef refers to the meat of any cattle. The quality of homemade beef depends on many factors, each of which requires special attention from the farmer. So, the age of the animals that are slaughtered, the types of feed, the amount of chemicals that are added to the feed and antibiotics, as well as the way the animal is killed are important. The last point is also important for the palatability of the resulting homemade meat, since there is an opinion of a number of gourmets that if the animal is under severe stress during slaughter, then this is reflected in the taste of the resulting homemade product.
Among connoisseurs of meat, domestic beef is usually divided into three varieties. The highest grade refers to the chest part of the carcass, dorsal, fillet. The first grade includes the areas of the shoulder parts, the second - the shank.
The meat of domestic beef is especially valued if it is obtained from calves. Beef from calves turns out to be tender, fragrant, very dietary, healthy and necessary for healthy nutrition.
High-quality homemade beef should have a beautiful red color, a fresh smell, and a marbled pattern. The meat should be elastic, after pressing it should restore its shape by itself.
Homemade beef contains a huge amount of useful vitamins, various elements that are necessary for a healthy and proper human nutrition. So, beef tenderloin contains a lot of mineral salts, cobalt, iron, phosphorus, zinc. Beef is a valuable source of the right proteins, which are almost completely absorbed by a person when eating fresh meat. And vitamin B12, which is found in abundance in fresh beef, helps the body, even weakened by disease, effectively absorb iron even from other foods.
Western doctors even prescribe beef for those who suffer from excess cholesterol, since homemade beef effectively affects the composition of the blood, helps it to renew itself and receive useful substances from products.

Beef is the culinary name for meat from cattle, particularly skeletal muscle. Beef is a source of high-quality protein and essential nutrients. The quality of beef depends on many factors each of which requires the special farmer's attention. So the most important factors are the age of the animal, types of forage, absence of chemical additives and antibiotics in it, as well as the way they slaughter the animal. The latter strongly influences the gustatory qualities of meat, because according to some gourmets, if the animal has been under severe stress during the slaughter, it negatively influences the taste of the obtained homemade product.
Experts in meat generally identify three types of beef. The superior quality type is breast part, rib and sirloin. The class I type is chuck, the class II type is shanks.
Veal, meat of calves, is always appreciated much higher than beef. The veal is tender, flavorful, healthy, dietary meat, necessary for proper nutrition.
Beef of high quality must have beautiful red colour, fresh smell, and marbling. The meat must be elastic, return to its original form after pressing it.

La ternera es la carne de cualquier ganado bovino. La calidad de la carne de vaca depende de muchos factores, cada uno de los cuales requiere una atención especial del granjero. Así los factores más importantes son la edad de animal, el tipo de alimentación, la cantidad de sustancias químicas y los antibióticos que se agregan a la alimentación, así como la forma en que han matado al animal. El último criterio es muy importante para las cualidades gustativas de la carne doméstica resultante también, porque hay especialistas que piensan que si el animal siente un gran estrés durante la matanza, esto se refleja en el sabor de la carne natural obtenida.
Los especialistas de carne distinguen tres tipos de la carne de vaca. El tipo más apreciado son el costillar, el lomo y el solomillo. La carne de primera calidad son partes de brazuelo, de la segunda clase es morcillo.

Pros: Free shipping. Nice looking product in the picture. Well thought out marketing strategy
Disadvantages: Inflated prices for products, some as much as 5 times, They do not give a receipt upon delivery. Some types of products do not pull on the title of environmentally friendly.
To make it clear what will be discussed, let's figure out what kind of Vladimir Meshchera, and this is just a small private farm. Which began to work in 2009 for residents of Moscow and the region.
And they grow pigs, bulls, sheep and, most importantly, in an ecologically clean area on it.
As this store assures on the Internet that they have fresh meat and they do not work with stores and are not suppliers to stores. And also the fact that they feed their meat animals only with natural products.
These products are often purchased in canteens, private educational institutions, and also in institutions with small children. 
The meat that can be purchased at the Vladimirskaya Meshchera farm is always environmentally friendly and the products of healthy animals. Meat is eaten, as they say, by both adults and children. The thickness of the fat here in the meat is 1.5 -3 cm, and this is an excellent indicator. And fatten animals up to a weight of 115 kg.
The farm itself has a veterinarian and zootechnician who work on all parameters of animal health and keep them clean, there is care for them.
On the main page of the site there is a certificate of permission to carry out this type of activity. It turns out based on this paper that all sanitary and hygienic standards are observed.
Unauthorized people are not allowed into the territory of the farm, except for employees, and transport is not allowed in the chile, since the animals are all in a strict and clean environment and without the interference of prying eyes. 
The most important thing for this company is the customer with his requests, that is, the company with this moment devotes the most time and effort to this. If you look at the catalog in the online store and order fresh meat from the Vladimir Meshchera farm, delivery in Moscow and the Moscow region will be free.
Meat, Minced meat, shish kebab, poultry, rabbits, cooking, dairy products, sweets and pastries, raw smoked sausages and meat, eggs, vegetables and herbs, ready meals and delicacies, fish, pickles and snacks, homemade bread, help all over the world, gifts for friends, fast food.
Here is such a huge list of products that the Vladimirskaya Meshchera farm produces and sells.
For example, if you look at the site, a pork loin costs 497 rubles, a beef brisket costs 445 rubles, now it is presented for a promotion in an online store. But for the sake of interest, a bread cake costs 75 rubles, this is not a cheap price for me. From dairy products, for example, cottage cheese costs 399 rubles, exactly 2 times more expensive than in the villages with my grandmother. But homemade butter (Murom farm) costs 939 rubles, in general, I think, as they say, more than beef meat, in excess of the norm.
The raw-smoked edge of gobies costs 2,500 rubles, however, it is more expensive than red caviar.
And what can local buyers say about this, were there really organizations that wanted to buy such mega expensive food products in their canteens and it makes no sense for them to do business at all when raw products cost 2 or more than 5 times ordinary ones from the store, I just don’t understand but willing to listen to their opinions.
Boris writes that he ordered lard for himself, through the Vladimir Meshcher farmer, which I can say that the order was confirmed via the Internet and a paper with a sales receipt came to e-mail. My fat was delivered quickly by weight, I ordered 1 kg, in fact they brought it, I then weighed 950 grams on my kitchen scales, that’s the first injection, when I received the order they didn’t give a receipt for the purchase, so everything turns out virtually with them. The taste of fat is rated 4, since it is not clear that the pork was heavily fattened. I paid 375 rubles for the product, but in principle this money is worth it, but I’ll tell you that they are deceiving with weight. 
Veronica writes that she bought singed poultry from the farmer Vladimerskaya Meshchera for herself, at a price of 453 rubles. And I also ordered, along with one order for tea, nuts with boiled condensed milk for a promotion of 577 rubles. Of course, the prices are biting there, but if there is free delivery, then this all overlaps. The taste of chicken is the most ordinary, as you can buy in any chicken department in Moscow, only at a price exactly 2 times lower. 
And the nut cookies were very tasty, I didn’t notice how I ate them, but I thought that I needed to buy a hazel nut and learn how to cook them myself so as not to pay almost 600 rubles for them. All the same, overhead prices there.
Hi all!
I want to tell you about my order at the farm "Vladimirskaya Meshchera".
Placed an order on January 31st. I received an automatic confirmation in the mail.
Here is my order
Unfortunately, they don't make a confirmation call. Apparently busy, still farmers
Therefore, I recommend checking your mail, because. It was on the e-mail that a letter came from the Chief Farmer Sergey, in which he said that the order would be delivered on Wednesday-Thursday. Not very fast, even considering that I made the order on Friday evening. So, if anyone decides to order from them, it's better to do it in advance.
On the day of delivery, about an hour before the agreed time, a pleasant young man called me and warned that he was coming to me.
Here is what they brought
As can be seen from the Sales receipt, there is no butter in the order, which no one warned me about, alas. Not that I really wanted oil, but nevertheless unpleasant.
But they have free shipping. By the way, the total amount may differ, because. the final weight of the same chicken is not known in advance for obvious reasons.
I made a small order and most of the products are "for the lazy", i.e. semi-finished products of home production.
This is what the products look like:
There were two chickens, because. they are quite young. I order them all the time, because. they are very fresh and delicious. The broth from them is fragrant and transparent. One chicken got into the soup, the other was stewed with potatoes - everything turned out very tasty.
Chickens are brought chilled, not frozen. Grade 5.
Vareniki are delivered frozen. Vareniki ordered with potatoes and mushrooms. My husband and I didn't like it. Here, when they took it with cherries, there were just amazing dumplings.
These ordered for a change and miscalculated.
The dumplings are also frozen. The dough is delicious, the filling is meat, like in homemade dumplings, and not like in store ones. But we didn't really like it. Something is missing in them. Either onions or bread. In general, the filling is harsh, although it usually cooked as much as required. Grade 4-.
The cabbage rolls were just superb. Well, as if she did it herself, and even better. The filling is tender with a minimum of rice, carrots, etc. and with a maximum of meat. We will definitely be ordering more. Rating 5+.
SALO. Not the healthiest food, I must say, but sometimes you want a hot potato in a uniform with a cold, tender lard ...
Salo is definitely not like a store. Moderately salted, moderately peppered and combed. And there were also pieces of bay leaf on top of it, but I did not feel the taste of laurel.
Salo is tender, soft with a small layer of meat. When frying, quite a lot of fat is rendered out of it, so for lovers of potatoes fried in lard, it is also perfect.
My husband does not like fat, but he ate it and this is the highest mark in my opinion. Well, that is, you can safely take it. Grade 5.
Homemade cottage cheese. It turned out that there is quite a lot of liquid in it. I don't know what it's called. But since I bought cottage cheese exclusively for syrniki, this water was obviously superfluous. Even though I sort of drained it, I still had to add more flour than usual.
This cottage cheese is exclusively for eating "live", but I do not like sour milk and use it only to prepare more edible dishes.
Therefore, cottage cheese is only 4-.
Sour cream is very tasty. I added it when cooking to various dishes and as a dressing in dumplings-vareniki. Thick, not sour. Grade 5.
All products are packed in plastic bags, which is not very environmentally friendly, of course, but is fully compensated by the quality of the products themselves.
P.S. I will definitely be ordering from here again. The price-quality ratio suits me perfectly.
P.P.S. I want to warn you that by the end of 2014 "Vladimirskaya Meshchera" had deteriorated very much. Once they brought out of 4 expensive trout 2 stale ones, and I, because of my complete confidence in them, did not even check when I accepted the order. And also something is constantly missing in orders and no one even warns about it. Recently wrote bad reviews about some of their products on their website so they didn't list them.
I will write a new review about them soon. I won't order again!
Meshchera National Park
The Meshchera National Park was created in 1992 on the territory of the Vladimir Region to preserve the natural complex of the Meshchera Lowland. The national park is located in the southeast of the region. In the west, the park borders on the Moscow region, the Meshchersky National Park of the Ryazan region adjoins the south side of the park. The national park occupies 118,900 hectares of land, of which 61% are provided to the park, and 39% are allocated for economic activities to various owners.
The Meshchera National Park is a country of forests and swamps, quiet rivers and numerous lakes, a reserved, dense, mysterious land. The storytellers inhabited Meshchera with goblin, water, mermaids. Nearby, on the ancient Murom tract, according to legend, the Nightingale the Robber also hunted. Meshchera fascinated many artists, poets, writers, musicians.
The Meshchera forests are located in the transition zone between the taiga and broad-leaved forests. This is connected with the extraordinary abundance of plant species found in Meshchera. The forest lands of the park occupy 86.3 thousand hectares (72.6% of the total area of the park), including 81.6 thousand hectares (68.6%) covered with forests. The Meshchera lowland is located in the temperate climate zone. The landscapes of the national park are typical natural complexes of the Polissya type.
Among animals, a wolf, a raccoon dog, a fox, an ermine, a weasel, a white hare, and a squirrel are common. The number of wild boar and elk is high. There are hare, forest polecat, American mink, pine marten, badger. The beaver population has recovered. Of the mammals of Meshchera, the Russian desman is the most valuable.
Among the rare bird species of the park are the black-throated diver, white stork, gray heron, bittern, gray goose, greater spotted eagle, common kestrel, ptarmigan, gray partridge, common crane, eagle owl, long-eared owl, hoopoe, bile, three-toed woodpecker, nutcracker. Reptiles are represented by a spindle, a quick and viviparous lizard, an ordinary snake and an ordinary viper.
Purpose of creation
NP "Meshchera" is an environmental institution, the territory of which includes natural and historical and cultural complexes of the Meshchera lowland, which have a special ecological, historical and aesthetic value and is intended for use in environmental, recreational, environmental, educational, scientific and cultural purposes. The main task of the park is to preserve and enhance the natural, historical and cultural heritage of Vladimirskaya Meshchera.
Vegetable world
Formed in antiquity, the landscape of the park is a swampy plain covered with pine and birch forests. The Meshchera National Park is part of the Meshchersky forest region, which lies in the northern zone of the Eastern European variant of the subtaiga subzone of the taiga zone. The forest cover of the park is 63%. Light birch-pine forests are a typical community for our park; they occupy the largest area (36%). Coniferous forests consist mainly of Scotch pine (59%) with an admixture of European spruce (1%). Broad-leaved forests are represented by oak forests and linden forests, sometimes there is a maple. These forests do not occupy large areas and are located in the valley of the Buzha River.
The flora of the park is exceptionally rich. It is estimated that about 700 vascular plants grow in the park. 44 rare species are taken under special protection, among them: floating salvinia, English sundew, squat birch, blueberry willow, several beautiful orchids.
park fauna
The fauna of the park is no less rich. It is remarkable in that the whole complex of habitats of the subzone of European broad-leaved forests is very fully represented here. 49 species of mammals, 5 species of reptiles, 10 species of amphibians have been registered in the park. The most numerous are: hare, fox, elk, wild boar, ermine, beaver. There are hare, forest polecat, otter.
Traces of the habitation of the endemic - the Russian muskrat - were noted. She is by origin the same age as the mammoth. According to our estimates, a small but stable group of desman lives in the park.
193 species of birds are found on the territory of the Meshchera National Park, among them 15 species are listed in the Red Book of the Russian Federation and 20 species are protected in the Vladimir Region. Often found: capercaillie, black grouse, gray crane; less often - white stork, gray heron, bittern, partridge.
Historical and cultural heritage
The territory of the national park is characterized not only by a variety of geographical, hydrological, forest, but also historical sights. Within the current territory of the Meshchera National Park, traces of the presence of an ancient man dating back to the Middle-Late Stone Age (VII-III millennium BC) were found. The ancient man settled near the water, the abundance of which distinguishes the Meshcherskaya lowland. This is evidenced by Neolithic sites in the valleys of the Buzha and Pol rivers: “Mochalovsky afternoon tea”, Svyatoozersky sites, sites in the area of the village. Mikulino and Petrushino. The ancient commercial overland Ryazan tract passed through the territory of the park, connecting the two cities of Ryazan and Vladimir.
Old Ryazan tract
Vladimirskaya Meshchera
Vladimirskaya Meshchera is located in the west of the Vladimir region. Wooded and partly wetlands.
Administratively, the region is located on the territory of Kirzhachsky, Petushinsky, Gus-Khrustalny and Sobinsky districts.
January 11 - Day of Reserves and National Parks - an unofficial holiday celebrated in the Russian Federation on the initiative of a number of environmental organizations.
The All-Russian Day of Nature Reserves and National Parks” is a relatively young date in the calendar of ecologists. It has been celebrated since 1997. It was in that year that the Wildlife Conservation Center and the World Wildlife Fund took the initiative to annually celebrate the Day of Reserves and National Parks in the Russian Federation.
The choice of environmentalists to hold the "Day of Reserves and National Parks" fell on this date - January 11, not by chance. It was on this day, in 1916, in Buryatia, the first state reserve in the Russian Empire was created, called the Barguzinsky Reserve (because it is located on the eastern slope of the Barguzinsky Range). Now in Russia there are more than a hundred nature reserves and forty national parks, with a total area of 33.7 million hectares and 7,000,000 hectares, respectively. One can call the "Day of Reserves and National Parks" not only a day when environmentalists try to focus society's attention on the problems associated with nature protection zones, but also as a professional holiday for employees of these entities, whose staff number is 11,501 people in the country. The area of reserves and national parks in the Russian Federation is about 2% of the territory of the state, which is approximately equal in area to the territory of Belarus.
Meshchera forests are closely connected with the struggle of the Russian people against the Tatar-Mongol invasion. According to the stories and epics of Haji Rakhim, it was here that numerous bloody battles between Russian warriors and Tatar detachments took place. The frequent skirmishes between them are evidenced by a large number of burials on the territory of Meshchera, the so-called tracts and manes. Ryazan prince Yevpaty Kolovrat with his retinue also fought in our area. According to legend, the hero was buried near the Meshchera roads in the area of the Narma churchyard. Towns and villages of Meshchera have a unique architectural appearance. The most striking features of the architectural appearance of the towns and villages of Meshchera are: prominent elegant temples, preserved "Maltsov" houses of the XIX century in the city of Gus-Khrustalny, amazing carved decoration of log houses in villages and towns. Although Christianity finally established itself in our land in the 12th century, stone churches in Vladimirskaya Meshchera began to be built about two hundred years ago. On the territory of the national park, 3 temples of the 19th century have been preserved: this is the elegant church of St. Elias (Palishi village), where in the old days, parishioners prayed to protect them from a thunderstorm. The lonely Church of the Holy Trinity (v. Erleks), towering like a white candle over the forests; the majestic Church of the Exaltation (village of Narma), in which mosaics from the second half of the 19th century have been preserved. A special type of cultural heritage is made up of folk crafts and crafts preserved among the local population: wicker weaving, dugout boats, souvenirs made from natural materials - glass, wood, clay. An important element of the spiritual heritage is local folklore, rituals and traditions.

No less interesting is the social history of the region, which is closely connected with the basic industry of Vladimirskaya Meshchera - the production of glass and crystal. The emergence of a system of glass factories in the Meshchera forests of the Vladimir province is associated with the name of Akim Maltsov. In 1756, 10 miles from the village of Nikulino, a crystal factory was built on the Gus River, which gave life to the whole city - Gus-Khrustalny. By 1845, there were 5 crystal and 16 glass factories in the Vladimir province. Local crystal products are known throughout Russia and are distinguished by their characteristic design, called "Maltsovsky Crystal". Throughout its 250-year history, the production of glass and crystal has occupied a leading position in the city and the region.
See Gusevsky crystal.
The Meshchera region has long attracted and inspired artists, poets, writers and musicians. S. Yesenin and K. Paustovsky sang his wondrous nature in their creations. The famous writer, Nobel Prize winner A. Solzhenitsyn lived and worked here, the artist I. Levitan painted his beautiful landscapes.
"Museum of Birds"
Museum "The World of Birds" of the National Park "Meshchera" is located in the village of Urshelsky. The museum of nature has collected more than 200 exhibits; there are species of birds living in the national park, a unique collection of bird eggs (50 different species), which was collected over two decades, is also exhibited, the formation of an exposition of bird nests has begun. The museum has four exhibits: Wetland Birds, Forest Birds, Open Space Birds, and Domestic Birds. Everyone can get acquainted with the origin of birds; birds listed in the Red Book of Russia and protected in the Vladimir region, with local species of poultry.
Open Air Museum "Russian Compound"
The open-air museum "Russian Compound" is located in the village of Tasinsky. Here visitors can get acquainted with the life of the peasants of Vladimir Meshchera. Currently, the museum has 3 expositions. The open-air exposition presents various types of hedges, wells, Russian baths, haystacks, logs and roof coverings that were once created by our ancestors. The exposition "Russian hut" recreates the interior of the hut of the Meshchera peasants of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In October 2006, the Old Russian Settlement exposition was opened, which introduces museum visitors to the types of buildings typical of the Middle Ages.
Ecological trails
The park has ecological trails of various lengths, covering the most interesting areas. Two school trails, a large ecological trail and in 2007 a new ecological trail "Forest World of Meshchera" was opened, it consists of two sections "World of Nature" and "World of Fairy Tales". The trail successfully combines objects of flora and fauna and fairy-tale characters of Russian folk tales.
Trail of fairy tales
Ecological trail "Journey along the Ryazan tract"
The ecological trail "Journey along" starts from an equipped recreation area on the river. Pol with a view of the Holy Trinity Church (22 km from Gus-Khrustalny), goes along the left bank of the Pol River to the equipped recreation site "Sosnovaya" on one of the high banks of the river. The length of the route is 2 km. This route is so named because the ancient Ryazan tract ran along the Pol River and from the starting point of this route, the remains of the bridge, which was part of this route, are visible. Information on the route is connected not only with the history of the region, but also with the flora and fauna of the Meshchera. The route is equipped with full houses. At the end point of the trip - the Sosnovaya site, there is an opportunity to relax, play outdoor games, drink tea and return home.
Often, walking through the shops of the city, we turn one product or another in our hands for a long time, lost in conjecture and tormented by doubts: “What is this unfamiliar word in the composition? Is there less preservatives, dyes and flavor enhancers in this or that jar? Has the expiration date expired? By the way, where is it listed here at all? In a word, sometimes there are too many questions in my head, but there is still an alternative to such a gastronomic shopping quiz in Vladimir. And over time, it gradually expands its horizons.
For several years now, the Rozmarin farm shop has been operating on Tchaikovsky Street, which sells natural products from its own farm, located in the village of Ulovo, Suzdal region. And just a couple of months ago, the same point opened on Nizhnyaya Dubrov. We could not pass by and dropped by to evaluate the range and quality of goods in the store.
Let's start with dairy products. Everything is the result of good nutrition and proper care of the livestock on the farm. As a result, fresh unpasteurized cow's and goat's milk of morning milking is supplied to the shelves of Rozmarin every day. And also kefir, cottage cheese, yogurt, fermented baked milk, butter, sour cream and various types of cheese, from the sight of which the eyes run wide. And you can taste absolutely everything. Verified by me personally. Note to you: the cheese with rustic dill is especially good!
Frozen products are also homemade. Vareniki and pelmeni with various appetizing fillings are made by hand. The taste turns out exactly like grandmother's self-made ones.
For those with a sweet tooth, the farm shop is also a real paradise. Marmalade, cookies, gingerbread, bars, chocolate. In a word, there are plenty to choose from. And at a minimum of harm to your figure. And all because confectionery products are made from natural ingredients according to a traditional recipe.
There are also partner products here. Most importantly, verified. For example, all this delicious and soft bread is baked on the basis of this flour at the small production of Rosemary. The aroma is simply beyond words. Who remembers the times when, as a child, he left the bakery in an embrace with a warm brick, biting him on a crispy barrel, he will understand.
