CNN: Growing local-farm movement expanding to meat

Click here for an interesting article on how local farms are joining the CSA, Community Supported Agriculture, movement. Our CSA is a little different from what's in the article and video. We don't ask that you pay upfront or by the year. We also don't deliver shares weekly or monthly. Each family's beef use varies widely so it would be hard to provide monthly or weekly installments. Our shares let you team with 7 other families to share one animal. That way, you get a variety of cuts that equal 1/8 of the total carcass. If it takes your family 2 months to use yours and another family 6 months, you can reorder for your family whenever you want. We also do all our own cutting and packaging. We don't do the actual slaughter on premises, but the whole sides are returned here in just a few days to remain under our watchful care as we cut and vacuum seal the portions for your family's share. What we do have in common is the sincere desire to provide the highest quality beef from cows born and raised on our farm. It's exciting to see whole communities working together to help the family farm survive while providing nutritious wholesome food for everyone!
