Meat CSA Shares
We offer monthly meat shares in the CSA format. This is a great option for folks who want healthy, local, chemical-free, and pastured raised meat, but don’t have the freezer space to buy large quantities of beef, pork, and chicken. It’s also an opportunity to ‘sample’ various meat cuts before committing to a larger purchase.
Each Meat CSA season runs for 4 months. The next season begins in June 2024.
The seasons are:
June – September
October -January
February – May
Standard Share
A standard whole share includes Mirror Image Farms grass-fed beef; pastured pork; and pastured poultry. (Our pastured pork and pastured poultry are fed non-GMO, chemical-free feed) Each share will have approximately 1/3 of each type of meat.
The 20lb whole share is geared towards families of more than 2 people and will have larger items, and multiples of the same item. A typical 20lb share includes:
- 2-3lb ground beef
- 1lb beef cubes, chip beef, or hamburger patties
- 2-3lb sausage or ground pork
- 1-2lb bacon
- 2-4lb ‘grilling meat’ such as porkchops, ribs, hamsteaks, or beef steaks
- 1 ham, porkroast, or beef roast
- 1-2 chickens, whole or parted
The 10lb half share is geared towards feeding 1-2 people, and will often only have one package of an item. A typical 10lb share includes:
- 1lb ground beef
- 1lb bacon
- 1lb sausage or ground pork
- 1-2lb ‘grilling meat’ such as porkchops, ribs, hamsteaks, or beef steaks
- 1 ham, porkroast, or beef roast
