Buying a beef share - a quarter, half, or whole beef purchased directly from a farm - is one of the best ways to fill your freezer with high-quality, locally-raised meat at a price that often beats the grocery store.
Local meat traditions are alive and well across America. Independent butchers, direct-farm beef operations, and custom processors represent a return to quality, transparency, and community connection that the modern food system often lacks.
A quarter beef typically yields 85-100 pounds of packaged meat including steaks, roasts, ground beef, and specialty cuts. A half beef doubles that. Consider your cooking habits when filling out the cut sheet.
Most beef shares are sold in spring for fall delivery, or fall for spring delivery. Farmers often take deposits starting in late winter or early spring. If you want a beef share for holiday cooking, place your order by summer.
