"Shop often enough at the embarrassment of riches that makes up the Bay Area\u2019s farmers\u2019 market scene and you can\u2019t help but start to get a sense of the seasons: fava beans and sugar snap peas in the spring, tomatoes in the late summer, hachiya persimmons for a few glorious weeks in the fall.But if you\u2019re anything like me (assuming you eat meat), you probably think of beef as a year-round indulgence \u2014 one that\u2019s restricted more by your cholesterol level or your bank account than by what month it happens to be.Not so, says Bill Niman, whose Bolinas-based company, BN Ranch, rolled out this year\u2019s first shipments of one-hundred-percent grass-fed, seasonally-slaughtered beef earlier this month. It\u2019s a project Niman says he\u2019s been working on for about a decade, but many of the Bay Area\u2019s eco-conscious, flavor-savvy diners are just now starting to wrap their heads around the concept."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
