RheaLife for a healthy lifestyle

Introduction to RheaLife for a healthy lifestyle

Hello, my name is Mary Pfeffer. Along with my husband John and our children, John, Adam and Jennifer we are pleased to present to you this information package on our farming operation, Pfeffer Rhea Farm.

In 1994 we chose to "diversify and value add" to our cashcrop operation to include the rhea. As well as farming John is a self employed electrician and up until three years ago I drove school bus for sixteen years.

This kit will supply you with the needed information for you to:

  • know and understand basic information about the history of the rhea

  • know and understand the rhea carcass, the different cuts and how to break it down and portion

  • cooking, handling and seasoning tips

  • learn the versatility in both profit and terrific taste of this new red meat

 

"We thoroughly enjoyed the experience of the Rhea Meat..."

We thoroughly enjoyed the experience of the Rhea Meat that we purchased from your farm last week. We ate the sausage as a cold snack and enjoyed the mild flavour. We opened up the oyster and stuffed it with a mix of crab, cheese and butter and then wrapped it in bacon and broiled it. Delicious!

The backtender piece was simmered in a skillit with a mushroom (oyster and regular) peppercorn sauce and was very tasty. We barbequed the fan piece and then added a roasted garlic sauce with prawns. It was also very good. All in all it was an enjoyable experience and one we would do again.

Cheers,
Wally and Heather Berseth
