If you enjoy home-cooked meals using ranch-raised beef, you will love filling your freezer by buying meat in bulk. Besides giving yourself many different cut selections on hand, you will also be saving money! You can make delicious meals any night of the week without the hassle of visiting the grocery store to shop for meat. 


What Are The Benefits of Buying in Bulk?


1. Save Money

Buying in bulk is the most economical way to purchase our premium beef. You pay for our half and whole cow shares based on the animal's weight. That means that you know what you are paying for! Plus, all cuts are priced equally. So while ground beef is comparable to retail, the price per pound on premium cuts like steaks and brisket is outstanding.


2. Confidence in Knowing How Your Beef was Raised

When you purchase meat from the conventional grocery store, the beef you buy can come from many different sources. Many mixed breeds, ages, and varying feeding and handling practices. You cannot be sure what you are getting from the grocery store packages. Knowing your rancher ensures that you feed your family food that aligns with your values. Whether that means understanding drugs given to the cattle, finishing processes, land care, or so much more, we are here to answer your questions and be transparent about our ranching practices so that you can have confidence in your food.


3. Food Security

Having your freezer stocked with beef means you do not have to worry about meat shortages, supply chain issues, inflation, and other factors contributing to increased beef prices at the grocery store. This is especially helpful in today's market, where beef prices have risen almost thirty percent.


4. Variety

You will get a variety of cuts when you buy a cow share. You'll be stocked with favorite cuts of steaks, roasts, and ground beef, and you will also get some cuts you may have never cooked with before. This is a great opportunity to try something new!


5. Support Local

As a small family farm that produces beef to sell to our local customers, we focus on quality rather than quantity. Our practices make the most delicious beef without the conventional practices that large corporations use, like growth hormones and antibiotics. You can eat confidently, knowing you are supporting a local family ranch that is transparent about how your animal was raised.

3 things I always keep in my freezer

3 things I always keep in my freezer

Because dinner shouldn’t be a daily emergency. There are a lot of things I run out of around here—milk, sandwich bread, matching socks… but when it comes to meat, I like to stay stocked. It’s one of the easiest ways I keep meal planning simple, and it means I can always throw something together, even on the craziest days. Here are the 3 things I always keep in my freezer—and why they earn their place: 1. Ground Beef This is my weeknight workhorse.Tacos, spaghetti, nachos, casseroles—you name it, it starts with ground beef. I usually thaw it in the morning, and we’re off to the races. I always keep at least 10 lbs on hand because it disappears fast, and it’s the most versatile thing I cook with. Bonus: our ground beef cooks up quickly, and there is very little grease. I don't even have to drain it! One of our family favorites is this ​Skillet Lasagna—it’s a one-pan, 30-minute dinner that checks all the boxes: hearty, cheesy, and everyone loves it. 2. Beef Chuck Roast I’m not talking about Sunday dinner with china—though that’s great too.I mean a good Chuck or Arm roast for busy nights when I just want to throw something in the Crock-Pot and walk away. Add potatoes, carrots, and seasoning and you’ve got a full meal without hovering over the stove. Roasts also make the best leftovers for tacos, sandwiches, or casserole. I try to keep a few in the freezer at all times. But if I’ve got a little extra time, these Slow Cooker Birria Tacos are worth every second. 3. Bacon Don’t judge me—but I might panic if we run out of bacon.It’s for breakfast, of course. But it also adds flavor to beans, brussels sprouts, green beans, soups… even salad. If I’ve got bacon, I feel like I can make any boring meal taste better. I keep a pack in the refrigerator at all times! I use a stripe or two here and there and always have a few backups in my freezer. A family favorite breakfast this summer is these Bacon Cheddar Scones! They are perfect for a slow morning breakfast with coffee or a quick breakfast on the go! Want to keep your freezer stocked like I do? Check out our brand new Freezer Favorites Box—everything I talked about in this post, bundled and ready to go. A well-stocked freezer means fewer drive-thrus and more real food. If your freezer is looking a little bare, now’s a good time to refill it.  Fill your freezer >> click here! We’ve got pasture-raised pork and ranch-finished beef available now, and you can build your own box with what your family actually eats. Order the Freezer Favorites Box >> Freezer Favorites Box
