Frequently Asked Questions

IS YOUR BEEF GRASS-FED AND GRASS-FINISHED?

Yes! Our cattle are 100% grass-fed and grass-finished. They spend their entire lives outside on pasture. During the growing season (roughly April-December) they eat fresh grass, and during the winter months we feed them high quality dry hay.

HOW DO I ORDER?

Go to the "Reserve A Beef Share" tab and explore our products. We accept all major credit cards, and take all of our orders online.

DO YOU SHIP?

Yes! We offer shipping to New York, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Pennsylvania and New Jersey. We ship via UPS on Tuesday's and orders are delivered by Friday. All meat is shipped frozen in insulated packaging.

We also offer free local delivery to Columbia, Dutchess, Putnam, Westchester, and Fairfield counties.

WILL I HAVE ROOM IN MY FREEZER?

1/8 Beef Share: requires approx. 1.5 - 2.0 cubic ft. of freezer space. This will fit in a regular fridge-freezer compartment. It will take most of the space, but will leave some room for other goods. 
 
1/4 Beef Share: requires approx. 3.5 - 4.0 cubic ft. of freezer space. This will fit in a small chest/upright freezer.
 
1/2 Beef Share: requires approx. 7 - 8 cubic ft. of freezer space. This will fit in a medium chest/upright freezer.

Whole Beef: requires approx. 14 - 16 cubic ft. of freezer space. This will fit in a large chest/upright freezer.

We always recommend having a slightly larger freezer so it is easier to organize and access all your cuts!

ARE YOU SUSTAINABLE/REGENERATIVE/ETC.? 

We don't have any formal certifications, but our practices should qualify for any of the terms you can think of. We only produce food that we would eat ourselves or feed to our families, and strive to be transparent about our practices.

Our animals are managed to build ecosystem and soil health, and we never apply ANY synthetic fertilizers, chemicals, or pesticides.

WHAT IF I'M NOT HOME WHEN THE MEAT ARRIVES?

If you choose shipping, your meat is packed in an insulated box with plenty of ice. It should stay frozen until you get home that day.

If you are having your meat delivered by us, we will reach out to you to confirm your delivery time. If you can't be home during the delivery window, just leave a cooler outside or pick a different delivery date!
