Simple Pricing, Fair Distribution
Everyone pays a flat rate. Everyone gets wholesale prices. Your portion matches your contribution.
How It Works: Real Example
A grass-fed beef cow costs $4,500 and yields 850 lbs of premium meat
All backers pay the same per-pound rate (~$5.30/lb) but choose different pledge amounts. More backers = same savings, smaller convenient portions for everyone.
