BEEF SHARE - DEPOSIT

Bring home the flavor of local pasture-raised beef and stock your freezer with a Quarter, Half, or Whole Beef Share from Goldens Farm. When you purchase a beef share, you’re buying a portion of a single animal raised right here on our farm with responsible practices.

It’s the best way to enjoy premium beef at a better price per pound, while supporting a local farm and knowing exactly where your food comes from.

Why Buy a Beef Share?

• Farm-Raised Quality – Our cattle are raised with care on open pasture and finished for excellent flavor and tenderness.
• Better Value – Bulk purchasing typically lowers your overall cost per pound compared to grocery store prices.
• Freezer Variety – Enjoy a mix of steaks, roasts, ground beef, and other cuts.
• Know Your Farmer – Buy directly from the people who raise your food.
• Stock Your Freezer – No more last-minute trips to the store.

How It Works

1. Reserve Your Share
   Place a deposit to reserve a quarter, half, or whole beef. The non-refundable deposit is $250 per quarter. Please let us know in your order if you would not like your share of the bones (soup/ neck/ marrow) and organ meats. 
   
   
2. Butcher & Packaging
   Our trusted local butcher will process the beef under USDA inspection and package it vacuum-sealed and labeled for your freezer. The lead time from an order to delivery will likely be about a month, as long as there's not currently a waiting list. 
   
   
3. Delivery Day
   You'll pay the remaining balance via Venmo, Cash App, or cash. We will arrange a day to deliver your beef from the processor to your home, so you can enjoy months of farm-raised beef. We deliver within 50 miles of our farm (ZIP code 35044). You'll inspect your order upon pickup and place it in your home freezer to "shop" from whenever you need beef!
