Beef Shares
Many people have asked us about purchasing whole animals from River Cottage Farm, and we’re happy to say that we are now in a position to start selling wholesale, which is what this amounts to in real dollar terms.
When purchasing a whole animal, you purchase your meat in bulk and truly get to eat nose to tail! We will help you plan the cuts your family enjoys, and you decide how you want your steaks, etc., cut and packaged. On this page, we’ll walk you through the process and help you understand what you need to know to take advantage of these great savings.
100% Grass Fed AND finished
