Barnwell Beef Makes Big City Debut
Barnwell, S.C., may in the middle of nowhere, but it turns out they grow darn good cows down there. Michael and Becky Worrell’s MiBek beef is pasture-raised and grass-fed and has been showing up around town lately, including on Chef Craig Diehl's Dine Around menu at Cypress during the Food + Wine Festival. The beef was also showcased at the Chef's Potluck at Middleton Place last Sunday. The Worrell’s raise their cattle naturally, without the need for regular doses of antibiotics, hormones, or other nasty bits. It also never sees a feedlot, meaning the grass-fed meat comes out lean and uniquely flavorful. If you missed the event, you can sample this S.C.-grown meat at Cypress, where they regularly feature it on the menu. If, like us, your carnivorous urge is hard to satiate, you can order your own half or whole cow at www.mibekfarms.com. —Jeff Allen
