Whole Cow Deposit: November 2024

Reserve your cow now for Fall 2024. 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. This round of cows is an angus/dairy cross breed to ensure the best flavor profile.

We are currently taking reservations for Fall 2024. We will have a limited number of cows available. Butcher date is November 13, 2024. Meat will be ready for pickup within 3-4 weeks of butcher date.
