Are you new to the idea of purchasing beef directly from a local farm? If so, you probably have some unanswered questions!
The most popular scenario is for the end customer to purchase beef from a farmer based on the hanging weight of the animal (which includes the skeletal structure, excess fat, etc of the animal, by the way). You make two payments, one to the farmer for their "price per pound hanging weight" and a second one to the processor. You have a little more control over the cut instructions but you also get everything in, say, a 1/4 cow whether you like it or not! The price per pound can vary greatly based on how the livestock were raised.
Over the years we've looked for ways to simplify the process for our customers and have settled on a slightly different model. Our on-farm cold storage makes it possible to maintain inventory and fill orders all year long, usually within a couple of days! You can order by-the-cut or fill your freezers up with a bundle. You can order online or swing by our market building to purchase Cash & Carry beef at your convenience. Our prices include 100% grassfed & grass-finished beef, processing and vacuum packaging so you only ever make one payment to us for the finished product. There really is no "middle man" or extra logistics when you shop directly with us!
