2026 Meat Share Waitlist

You put down a deposit today. The deposit goes towards the final price. On your share pick-up day, we calculated the final cost based on the actual hanging weight of the animal your share came from.

We aim for specific weights with our animals but account for some variation with this actual pricing. Here are some approximate final prices:

• 1/2 lamb: ~$370 ($150 deposit; $270 pick-up)

• Whole lamb: ~$690 ($300 deposit; $390 pick-up)

• 1/4 pork: ~$600 ($200 deposit; $400 pick-up)

Short answer: yes.

Long answer: A half lamb share fits in about one drawer of your standard home freezer. A quarter pork share or whole lamb fits in about two drawers of your standard home freezer (or easily into some chest freezer space if you have one).

October is peak flavor season. Just like vegetables, animals have an ideal harvest time. Our sheep spend all summer grazing regeneratively, soaking up nutrients that make their meat rich, tender, and nutrient-dense.

Now's the perfect time to try it! It's cost-effective, supports local agriculture (goodbye, corporate farming!), and lets you enjoy the incredible flavors of the season all year long.

It depends on how much meat your family eats and how much freezer space you have. Our family of four stocks up with a whole lamb and a quarter pork share, which lasts us about six months. As busy parents, there's nothing better than having a ready supply of meat. Just grab a cut in the morning to defrost, and it's ready to cook by dinner. For sampling, a half lamb share is great. A whole lamb is perfect for planning ahead. A quarter pork share is a game changer—local pork is hard to find!

Whole lambs are fully customizable. We'll reach out to you a few weeks before your pick-up date to go over your cut selection. If you haven't ever thought about what cuts you might want, we'll talk you through it and make some starter recommendations.

Half lambs are not customizable. You'll receive an assortment of standard cuts: chops, ribs, shank, roasts, ground, stew meat, and offal.

Quarter pork shares are also not customizable. You'll receive an assortment of standard cuts: chops, ribs, roasts, steaks, sausage, bacon, and offal.

We pick up the meat frozen from our USDA processor on a set date and do not have space to store your meat. Your meat will be frozen solid and perfect for transport that day.

We raise Berkshire pigs right in our front pasture, under several apple trees. They eat organic grains and apples that fall from the trees and have tons of space to root around and follow their natural instincts. Berkshire pigs are known for delicious marbled meat and rich flavor.

Our sheep are 100% grass-fed and finished. We implement Savory Institute's Holistic Management to steward land while raising sheep. In short, grasslands co-evolved with grazing animals. Through planned grazing, we use this powerful ecological connection to improve the health of our grasslands, increase biodiversity, and restore ecosystem function.

We are serious about regenerative outcomes. To ensure that the land under our stewardship is actually improving, we work with third-party ecological monitoring professionals to conduct Ecological Outcome Verification (EOV). This EOV data then informs our herd and land management decisions to increase land production and improve ecosystem function.

Our end game: healthy and thriving land and animals (humans included)!
