Quarter Cow Deposit: July 2025

Reserve your cow here! Our cows are sold on hoof and brought to a USDA certified slaughterhouse for you. They are raised on pasture and hay, and they are finished on a sweet grain mixture. They also get scrap veggies and fruits throughout the year. Our cows are rotated through our gardens and pastures to ensure they receive the best care and a happy life.

We are currently taking reservations for July 2025. We will have a limited number of cows available. Butcher date is July 23, 2025. Meat will be ready for pickup within 3-5 weeks of butcher date.
