As pasture-based farmers, our products are often seasonal. And as a small family farm, we can only raise a limited number of beef steers, hogs, and chickens each year.
I created this blog post to map out when we’ll have beef and hog shares available so you can mark your calendars and start budgeting for any larger stock ups.
When you go to our Online Farm Store to reserve a share, you’ll be able to choose your estimated pickup date at checkout.
The exact date will depend on the processors schedule for cutting and packaging the meat, but these dates give you a general idea when to plan for your beef or pork shares to be ready for pickup.
I highly recommend that if you know you’ll want to stock your freezer with a quarter beef or half a hog in 2024, that you go ahead and reserve it. We have a limited number of beef and pork shares available.
2024 Beef Shares - Estimated Pickup Dates
TBD - Anticipated to be approximately May/June/July and October/November
2024 Hog Shares - Estimated Pickup Dates
Dates TBD - November/December
2023 Thanksgiving Turkeys
Our processor has decided not to process turkeys this year, so we’re working on potential plans for turkeys. We’ll likely source them from another farm who raises turkeys the same way we do, but has access to another processor.
Our chicken raising season will run from April to October 2024. We stock our freezers with chicken cuts every Winter, but we do often start running out of some cuts by Spring.
Purchasing chicken cuts by the box is the most economical way to stock your freezer with our pasture-raised chicken. Cuts by the box are listed in our Online Farm Store when available. If we sell out, I will take preorders before our first processing date in May 2024.
We will continue to add new members to our Monthly Meat Share CSA as product availability allows. This is a great option if you prefer not to purchase in large quantities, but still want to keep your freezer stocked with our products year-round.
