A Split n' Share Success Story

Last night, we got an exciting shipment: a split quarter of grass-fed beef. There was eye round, sirloin tip, rib roast, porterhouse steak, all to share among five members.

The organizing was simple. I posted a notice at HVFN, several people responded and we emailed through the site. I put down a deposit at the Awesome Farm website, and Dave Liepmann agreed to go pick it up.

Our split quarter was exactly 150 lbs. at $4 a pound. This varies by cow, but ours almost filled three medium size cardboard boxes. If I'd packed it in good, I'd say my share of that - 37 lbs - fills a little more than a quarter of my freezer.

I'm getting ready to make the porterhouse tonight. I hope all the members write in here with their recipes!

This is definitely an adventure for me - a once 7-year vegetarian - now staring down so many different cuts of beef. But that challenge is what I love about exploring local foods and it's an experience we can all share together.

Please keep me advised when the next split will occur. I would really like to participate, sharing 1/8th with someone. Please contact me. My cell is 917-750-1211 and my email is rklimpl2003@yahoo.com

Comment by Sophie Allen on January 7, 2012 at 4:24pm: Hi Robyn,

No, I'm sorry the order is closed. I went in order of who asked first and was prepared to send deposits immediately. In the future would you like me to contact you directly when I'm organizing a split so you can secure your share? I would be happy to do so. If, however something falls through with a share this round I will let you know.

Comment by Sophie Allen on January 7, 2012 at 12:33pm: Thanks so all. The share is now closed. If however, anything happens and shares become available (which I hope doesn't happen), I will contact those who wanted in the first round.

Comment by LaurenPapot on January 7, 2012 at 12:24pm: Hi Sophie, Dave and I would like to confirm that we are DEFINITELY interested in the remaining 1/8. I will friend then private message you for details.

Comment by Sophie Allen on January 7, 2012 at 11:37am: Hello all,

One of the member's got back to me confirming their 1/8 share order. So as of now I have an 1/8 share left for grabs. It's open to whoever can pay their deposit of $300 to the farm this week.

Comment by Sophie Allen on January 7, 2012 at 10:01am: Good Morning,

Robyn & Anne, I have to put you two on the waiting list until two other member's give me their answer. I will be able to give you a definitive answer by Monday. Thanks for your interest.

Comment by Anne Maxfield on January 7, 2012 at 9:57am: Robyn, I'd be interested in splitting with you. My direct email is anne@accidental-locavore.com

Comment by Sophie Allen on January 6, 2012 at 6:29pm: @ Dave,

I called and checked with the farm, I think it's the hanging weight price, but I'm waiting for a call back to confirm that. I may not get back to you until Monday with that info, so please be patient if still interested. Thanks.

Comment by Sophie Allen on January 6, 2012 at 6:26pm: Hello All,
