WHAT EXACTLY IS A MEAT SHARE PROGRAM (MSP)?

It’s inevitable that this question comes up, and rightfully so.

It’s not a conventional way to purchase meat and people can be curious and want to know more or simply turned off the idea based on little information. So I’d like to offer my interpretation on what a Meat Share can and should be.

The MSP is designed around the idea that well raised animals shouldn’t be regulated to 1 of 2 ways of purchasing. 1.) Through a high end butcher shop that will charge top dollar across the board for any and all the cuts, or 2.) Buying directly from the farmer in which case you’re required to buy the WHOLE animal and have it butchered basically the way the abattoir would like you to while also having to find the space to store such an enormous amount of product.

By opting in to the MSP you get a 20lb Share of the entire animal. Purchased, butchered, packaged and delivered to the pickup location, by me. No sales people, no middle(wo)man. Meaning you will still enjoy a ‘nose to tail’ experience but on a much smaller and affordable scale. If you tried to buy the cuts in the MSP at a retail shop you’d most certainly pay upwards of 1.5x what a Share is worth.
