Cozy Crocks in Cozy Socks
There's something about October that makes me want to pull on my thickest socks, light a fire, and let something delicious simmer away in the crock pot all day long. The air gets crisp, the leaves start their show, and suddenly all I'm craving is the kind of meal that fills the house with warmth before it ever hits the table.
My brother, Christian, has been busy prepping the farm for winter—fixing fence, checking water sources, and making sure the herd has everything they need as the temperatures drop. Meanwhile, I've been thinking about comfort food. The kind that requires almost no effort but delivers maximum coziness.
That's why we're running a special on our Crock Pot Bundle this month—30% off while supplies last.
What's in the Bundle?
This box is basically Fall, in a freezer package:
- One beautiful Brisket (perfect for when you want to impress yourself)
- Two Chuck Roasts (the MVPs of pot roast season)
- Two Arm Roasts (amazing for those "set it at 8am, eat at 6pm" kind of days)
- Two pounds of Stew Meat (because soup season is officially here)
Every cut from our cattle is premium. Pastured-raised and pasture-grazed here on our Missouri farm, finished with care, and processed locally. Christian takes pride in raising beef that tastes like beef should. These slow-cooking cuts really let that flavor shine.
The Simplest Chuck Roast You'll Ever Make
If you're new to slow cooking (or just want a foolproof recipe), here's my go-to chuck roast method:
Equipment:
Crock pot or Dutch oven
What you need:
- 1 Parsons Creek chuck roast (3-4 lbs)
- 1 whole onion
- 1 garlic clove
- 1 bag carrots
- 4 peeled quartered potatoes
- Salt and pepper with your soul
What you do:
- Put the chuck roast in your crock pot
- Add Onion, garlic, carrots, potatoes, salt & pepper
- Add 1-2 cups of water (more if you're planning to make gravy)
- Crockpot - Cook on low for 8 hours (or high for 4-5 hours)
- Dutch oven - Cover and cook at 250 for 8 hours (or 4-5 hours at 350)
That's it. No searing, no fancy technique. Just come home to beef so tender it falls apart with a fork, swimming in the most flavorful aju you've ever made without really trying.
Serve it over mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or with a crusty piece of bread to soak up all that goodness.
The Best Part of Slow Cooking Season
What I love most about crock pot cooking isn't just the ease—it's the way it makes the whole house smell like home. You start it in the morning, go about your day, and by evening, you've got a meal that tastes like you spent hours on it. It's the kind of cooking that feels laborious, even though it's incredibly simple (in the best way).
With beef from our farm, you're getting meat that actually tastes like something. Pasture-raised, grain-finished, no shortcuts. Just the way our family has been doing it for five generations.

And hey—if you try that chuck roast recipe, let me know how it turns out. I'm always curious what everyone's making with our beef.
Here's to sweater weather, slow cookers, and meals that taste like a hug.
