Which Beef Share Fits in an Apartment Freezer? (Meet the Mini Beef Share)

Wondering if there's a mini beef share for people who don't have space for a chest freezer? Yes. Here's the small-apartment-friendly grass-fed beef option you've been looking for.

A reply came in this week that's been weighing on my mind....

"Hi do you have a small amount option, I live in a small apartment and don't have room for a freezer"

Totally fair question.

We have, apparently, become the Free Freezer People

We have, apparently, become the Free Freezer People.

We are victims of our own success and relentless monomaniacal obsession with giving our customers a Free Chest Freezer with your first Half or Whole Beef Share....

Jesse's videos about it have gone viral.

I write about it constantly.

It's the offer everyone remembers us for, which is a slightly odd position for a farm whose actual product is delicious and nourishing 100% Grass Fed Beef, not refrigeration equipment.

So somewhere along the way, I suspect a lot of people concluded the same thing this reader did: no room for a chest freezer = no Dirty Dog Farm beef for me.....

But do you really think your favorite farmers are gonna leave you hanging?

Not a chance....

Introducing the Mini Beef Share

The Cozy Dwelling Research Division here at Dirty Dog Industries™ (AKA Jackson, locked in a shipping container with a tape measure) has spent literally countless minutes on solving this serious problem!

And today we are beyond proud to unveil the result.

.......drumroll......

Introducing......

THE MINI BEEF SHARE!!!!

Twenty pounds of 100% grass-fed, grass-finished beef, precision-engineered (*checks notes* packed by Jackson once we let him out of the container) to fit:

• In the freezer your apartment ALREADY CAME WITH. Yes, that one. The one currently housing two ice trays and a bag of peas.
• In zero (0) additional square feet.
• Through your front door in one insulated box, frozen solid. No basement, no garage, no chest freezer, no problem.

The name (which took us weeks)

Our marketing department (AKA me and Jesse after a 3 martini lunch) worked on the name for weeks.

The Mini. Because it's.... small.

Nobody is safe from innovation like this, folks.

Who the Mini Beef Share is for

If any of these sound like you, the Mini Beef Share was built with you in mind:

• You live in an apartment or small home with a standard fridge/freezer combo and no room for a chest freezer.
• You're a 1 or 2 person household and a Quarter or Half feels like too much.
• You want to try our beef before committing to a full share.
• You want to send someone a memorable gift (or, more importantly, receive one).

If none of those sound like you and you actually have the room, a Half or Whole Share with a free chest freezer is still the best value we offer. And if you're honestly not sure how much room a share takes up, I wrote up our complete guide to freezer sizes so you can measure before you commit.

(Not sure which size fits? Take our Beef Share Quiz for a personal recommendation.)

What's in the Mini Beef Share

20 pounds, 2 juicy Ribeyes, and a variety of other cuts, apartment-freezer friendly, the easiest possible on-ramp. (For the specifics on what a full Half or Whole includes, here's the full cut breakdown of a half cow.)

How to reserve a Mini Beef Share

So if a chest freezer (or the square footage for one) is what's been standing between you and trying our beef: nothing is standing between you and trying our beef.

You can reserve your Mini Beef Share here: 20 pounds of 100% grass-fed, grass-finished beef, shipped frozen to your door, sized to fit in the freezer you already own.

And if you DO have the room and you're ready for the full experience: a Half or Whole Share reserves your spot in the harvest queue, and yes, your first one still comes with the famous free chest freezer.

Your Farmer,

Josh

P.S. Yes, I know that, strictly speaking, we've had Mini Beef Shares for some time, but I really enjoy a good Dirty Dog Industries bit and it's been a while and clearly not everyone knows they exist and sometimes you just need to make yourself chuckle.
