    How It Works

    Collective purchasing made simple. Support local farmers while getting premium quality meat.

    1

    Browse Campaigns

    Explore available whole animals from verified local farmers and ranchers in your region.

    2

    Choose Your Amount

    Select from $25, $50, or $100 flat rates. Your meat share is proportional to what you pledge.

    3

    Campaign Gets Funded

    When 100% is pledged, the animal is purchased and processed by the farmer.

    4

    Receive Your Portion

    Get your share of premium, locally-raised meat delivered or ready for pickup.

    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

    Backer #1
    $100
    pledge amount
    Gets:
    ~19 lbs of beef
    ($5.30/lb vs $12-18 retail)
    Backer #2
    $50
    pledge amount
    Gets:
    ~9.5 lbs of beef
    ($5.30/lb vs $12-18 retail)
    Backer #3
    $25
    pledge amount
    Gets:
    ~4.7 lbs of beef
    ($5.30/lb vs $12-18 retail)
    The Math:

    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.

    Save 50-70% vs retail prices
