Flavor
We saved the best for last
Smaller-scale raised beef, when done well, is impossible to beat flavor-wise
For example, many people have never quite liked ground beef but now enjoy it after trying farm fresh beef because it simply tastes better and is better for you
Many customers have said:
“I will never go back to buying beef from the grocery store!”
Freezer Space
Storage space required
1/2 side of beef (about 150 lbs) needs about 5 cubic feet. 2' x 1.5' x 2.5'
A small chest freezer costing about $200
Power outages? Get a simple power failure alarm for under $10.
What You Get
1/3 will be roasts
Under 1/3 will be traditional steaks
Over 1/3 will be ground beef and stew cuts
Four 8-10 oz filet mignons
Eight 16 oz ribeye steaks
Six 16 oz porterhouse steaks
Six 16 oz T-Bone steaks

Mileage May Vary
Some farms may offer you something cheaper than what you would find in a grocery store by engaging in some mass-produced farming techniques
Many customers demand high quality practices (i.e. the best of the best)
This means paying a premium over mass-produced beef.
If you’re looking to save a buck, buying personalized beef may not be for you.
