🥩 BULK BEEF AVAILABLE THIS SUMMER! 🥩

We have quarters, halves, and wholes available!

✔️ 1/2 (or two quarters) of Grass-Fed/Grass-Finished beef available for June processing

✔️ Plenty of Grass-Fed/Grain-Finished beef available for June, July, and into the fall

Pricing:
• Grass-Fed/Grain-Finished: $4/lb hanging weight + processing
• Grass-Fed/Grass-Finished: $6/lb hanging weight + processing

One of the most common questions we get is, “What will this actually cost me?” So let’s break it down.

🐄 GRASS-FED/GRAIN-FINISHED BEEF

These cattle finish out larger due to the grain, averaging about 850 lbs hanging weight.

A quarter beef would be approximately 212.5 lbs hanging weight.

• Beef cost: 212.5 lbs × $4/lb = $850
• Processing: Approximately 212.5 lbs × $1.25/lb = $265

Total investment: About $1,115

Keep in mind that hanging weight is the weight of the carcass before cutting and packaging. Once processed, you’ll typically take home about 60% of the hanging weight, or roughly 130 lbs of packaged beef including steaks, roasts, and ground beef.

🐄 GRASS-FED/GRASS-FINISHED BEEF

These cattle finish smaller because they are leaner and raised solely on pasture and hay.

A quarter beef is approximately 167 lbs hanging weight.

• Beef cost: 167 lbs × $6/lb = $1,002
• Processing: Approximately 167 lbs × $1.25/lb = $208.75

Total investment: About $1,210.75

With an average yield of about 60%, you can expect to take home roughly 100 lbs of frozen, cryovac-packaged beef.

This is an investment, but there’s something special about filling your freezer with high-quality, locally raised beef and knowing exactly where it came from. It’s also a great way to save on premium cuts like steaks compared to buying them individually at the store.

One thing to keep in mind: when you purchase bulk beef, you’re getting a mix of cuts from the animal. We occasionally have people ask if they can get “only steaks,” but that’s not quite how it works. 😉

If you’d like to reserve a quarter, half, or whole, send us a message or place a deposit on our website.

We also have plenty of steaks, chuck roasts, pork chops, and more. Baked goods are available only on Saturday.

You’ll also find ice cream, local maple syrup and raw honey, organic goat milk soap, elderberry syrup, and more!

Happy Mother’s Day Weekend! Thank you to everyone who stopped by on Saturday for sourdough. Once again, I was amazed at how quickly it sold out! I’m starting to offer pre-orders to help those who live farther away still have a chance to snag a loaf, so keep an eye on our stories early in the week for details. We truly appreciate all of your support!

We also picked up more beef on Friday and spent Saturday night getting everything stocked and organized, so the freezer is packed full heading into Mother’s Day weekend. We are especially well stocked on steaks right now, including Porterhouse, T-bones, Delmonicos, Bone-In Ribeyes, Sirloins, New York Strips, Tenderloins, and Sizzlers. We also stocked up on hamburger patties in both 1/3 lb and 1/4 lb sizes (4 patties per pack).

In addition to beef, we still have a great supply of fresh eggs, locally crafted elderberry syrup, raw honey, fresh spring maple syrup, and organic goat milk soap available in the farm store.

As a mom, this weekend feels especially meaningful. My 11-year-old helped me restock tonight, and it reminded me how sweet these moments really are. The work goes so much faster with helping hands, and the time together is such a gift. Wishing all of you a wonderful and joy-filled Mother’s Day!
