What is a Farm Share?At its most fundamental form, a farm share is your investment into your local food producer. But in reality, it’s so much more than that! The basic process goes like this:
And you don’t just get meat for your investment - our tried and true cooking gadgets, t-shirts, gifts from other local producers, not to mention a huge wealth of cooking knowledge. How about answers to the eternal question - what’s for dinner?? Your Farm Share is so much more than just meat. |
What's In a Share?Only the best beef, pork and poultry you can find in Ohio. Oh - and don't forget about the extras! Or the Add-on Shares!
Twice a month pick up five pounds of beef, pork and poultry plus a foodie extra from a small producer. This can be anything from grill sauce to a knife sharpener. We strive to make sure we do not repeat cuts of meat or sausages often. You might go months without seeing the same stuff. Curious about more details? Want to see a few samples of Farm Shares?

Each month your Farm Share will include ten pounds of meat and two "extras". The extras can be anything from spice mixes to snacks. They will always be from small producers, usually local.
Locals | Twice a month pick up from the German Village Farmer's Market, City Folks Farm Shop or the farm. Non-Locals | Once a month shipments to all lower 48 states |
Not quite sure you're up for a whole Farm Share? Try out our Sausage Share. With nearly 20 options it will take you close to five months to try them all!
Once a month pick up/shipment of four different sausages. |
Fruit and Veggie Share | Get the best fruit and veg from our very favorite farmer, Suzie of The Farmstead Market. Only available for local pick up, May through November.
Egg Share | Grab one dozen eggs from Truest Farms, twice a month. Local pick up only. Cheese Share | Did you know we have 41 Ohio cheese makers?? Two pounds of cheese a month, either pick up or ship. Add-on Shares can only be purchased by those who have signed up for a Farm Share or Sausage Share. |

Local. Pasture-Raised. Loved
Our motto is more than a few words. We live our motto every single day. If our livestock aren't born on the farm they are born in Ohio. The grain we supplement is grown 40 miles from the farm (how many farmers can say that??). Our processors are the Amish 90 minutes away. We stay in Ohio.
All animals are kept on lush, wooded pasture. Nothing is more important to us. Pasture-raised livestock are happier, more nutritionally dense and taste infinitely better not to mention better for our farmland. We truly love our animals. Even the ones headed to your dinner table. To us that means their welfare comes before ours. They eat first. Pigs are named and given belly rubs. Turkeys help us out with chores. We interact with them every single day. |
Are Farm Shares right for you?Let's be real. Farm Shares aren't for everyone and that's perfectly fine! Our goal is your success!

More than just meatYou obviously love small, local businesses. So do we.
Whether it's something to slather all over ribs, fresh fruit, something foraged from the farm or even a kitchen gadget every single pick up involves something that isn't part of the main share. And it doesn't stop there. You don't have to be a chef to be part of the Meat Elite. Even newbie cooks can have a great time with their own Farm Share. Not only do we share recipes, each email includes a video recipe so you can really follow along step-by-step. Still have questions? No worries, Farmer Jamie can answer them all! |
