Tote‑Sized Beef Shares for Folks Who Love Buying From a Small-Scale Local Farm
For years of selling our grass‑fed beef, I’ve learned that while people love buying directly from a farmer they trust, most simply don’t have the freezer space for the large quantities many farms require. A whole, half, or even a quarter cow is a lot of beef for most households.
To make our beef more accessible, I’ve created a flexible, farm‑based cow share program. Each animal is divided into 12-18 shares, depending on its size. Every share fits into a canvas shopping bag and typically weighs 15-20 pounds, a manageable amount for most freezers.
Joining is simple:
You reserve your spot with a $100 deposit. Once the beef is packaged and the share bags are assembled, you’ll be able to choose the bag that best fits your needs. Your deposit is then applied to the price of the share you select.
Beef is available for pickup at the farm or at one of our farmers markets and will be ready in early summer 2026.
Shipping is occasionally possible, but all shipping costs must be covered by the buyer.

Example of a "Cut Sheet"
Below is a list of possible cuts from one steer. You can see, when a steer is divided between multiple shares, there will be a great deal of variety between each share's contents. Some cuts are extremely limited and only a couple of people might end up with them. If there is an item or two that is a "must have" for you, please let me know on the form when you sign up. I will do everything I can to accommodate your wishes. The remainder of your share will be filled out with a variety of other cuts that I select.
