Our Beef-Share Program

As our world continues to grow, so does the importance of access to healthy, sustainable food. That’s why we are committed to offering natural, high-quality beef through our shares—because we believe nourishing your family with wholesome, responsibly raised meat is more than just a choice, it’s our purpose.

OUR BEEF SHARE PROGRAM

What Is a Beef Share?

Starting in 2025, we’re excited to offer a special way for you to connect more deeply with your food — through our Beef Share program.
This initiative gives you the opportunity to own or co-own the animals that will become your family’s meat, fostering a greater appreciation
and understanding of where your food comes from. It’s about transparency, education, and gratitude, all while supporting ethically raised, nutritious beef.

Choose Your Animal

You can select a whole or half beef steer, or even share a portion through co-ownership—like a quarter or half share—making it more accessible and
perfect for sharing with friends or family. We’re happy to help coordinate group ownership to keep things simple and enjoyable.

Affordable, Transparent Ownership

Your initial purchase covers the animal’s cost, giving you an upfront stake in a sustainable, ethical process. We’re working to offer shares
throughout 2026 and 2027, so you can get your freezer stocked sooner. After the initial investment, there’s a modest monthly farming fee that
helps cover ongoing care, feed, and animal welfare.

We raise the animals from calf to finish — a commitment we’re proud of — and this project helps spread out the cost and effort, making it easier
than ever to enjoy high-quality, locally-raised meat without multiple trips to the store.

Visit the Farm

We’ll host scheduled “Visit the Farm” days so you can see your animals, ask questions, and get a firsthand look at where your food is raised.
Stay tuned for dates!

How It Works

  1. Reserve Your Share
    Reserve your portion with a non-refundable deposit (some exceptions may apply). The deposit is fully refundable if we can’t fulfill your order.

    Deposits:
    Quarters: $500
    Halves: $700
    Whole beef: $1,500
  2. Growing & Caring
    Your animal will be raised on lush pastures (with hay in winter), with fresh water, essential vitamins, and lots of care.
    The process is stress-free for the animals, ensuring top-quality meat. This cycle runs from August 2025 to June 2026.

    Monthly farm fee:
    $45 (quarter), $90 (half), $140 (whole)
  3. Processing
    When the time comes, we handle all the butchering, cutting, and wrapping. We’ll provide you with cut sheets and options to customize your meat package.
  4. Cutting & Packaging
    Your beef will be cut and packaged according to your preferences, whether you prefer whole, half, or smaller portions. Before we begin cutting, we’ll provide you with the exact weight and final price, which could vary slightly. The monthly farming fees are intended to cover feed costs, but if your share ends up being larger than expected, any additional charges will be communicated to you before delivery. If your beef share is smaller than anticipated, the final price may be adjusted accordingly. Any changes will be communicated to you prior to delivery.
  5. Pick-Up or Delivery
    Pick up your meat from the farm or opt for delivery—usually frozen and ready to enjoy!

This program is designed to create a meaningful, transparent connection between you and your food, supporting local, ethical farming
while making high-quality beef more accessible. We look forward to sharing this journey with you!

Beef Share Infographic

  1. Co-Ownership Model — When you purchase a beef share, you become a co-owner of a portion of an animal while it’s being raised.
    You’ll receive updates on how your animal is cared for, and at butcher time your share converts into a freezer full of premium beef cuts.
  2. Flexible Monthly + Settle-Up Plan — No deposit upfront. Simple monthly payments:
    $75 (Quarter), $150 (Half), $300 (Whole).
    Final settle-up happens at butcher time based on the actual hanging weight
    (approximately $8.75/lb HW, including butcher fees).
  3. Why Hanging Weight? — Hanging weight is the weight of the animal after slaughter, before cutting & packaging.
    Your final cost is based on this weight, ensuring fairness and accuracy for everyone.
  4. Expected Weights — Holstein beef: ~560 lbs HW (priced per pound).
    Dexter beef: ~400 lbs HW — flat fee pricing
    (see Cattle page here).
  5. Your Benefits as a Co-Owner — Transparent pricing, direct connection to the farm, fair processing based on your order,
    and budget-friendly monthly payments instead of one large bill.
