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.

Comment by Gabi Scorcher on June 13, 2011 at 6:43pm: I too would be interested in splitting an 1/8 in the future!

Comment by Erin Cummings on June 12, 2011 at 2:14pm: Hi Jess, I would be interested in part of an 1/8 of a share if anyone wanted to split one up further. If not, I'm interested in future purchases, however I'm limited to small shares because I don't have an extra freezer. -Erin

Comment by Jessica M Berardi on June 11, 2011 at 8:03am: The order is in, I will send out an email with all the specifics soon!

Comment by Jessica M Berardi on June 5, 2011 at 6:41pm: Anna, the meat is all cut, and packaged ready for freezing. so there is no need to take it anywhere for further breaking down. It is a closed farm so the meat is born, raised, and harvested all on the farm there :)

if you want an 1/8 and can find someone else to get an addition 1/8th (to equal a 1/4 share) then we can get another

Comment by Sophie Allen on June 5, 2011 at 6:39pm: Hi Jess,

Regina is sharing with me.

Comment by Jessica M Berardi on June 5, 2011 at 6:37pm: just catching up now folks, sorry was away from the computer. Josie great!! I will send an email out tomorrow morning with the breakdown of the meat.

Regina, who are you sharing an 1/8 with? I'm just curious because all the 1/8ths are already shared....

Comment by Josie G on June 5, 2011 at 5:47pm: Jessica,

I'll happily take the 1/8th! jospira72@gmail.com, Beacon. thx!

Comment by regina williams on June 5, 2011 at 3:11pm: anne- crap i was contacted by another member to split there share...so the last 1/8th is still up for grabs....

Comment by Anna Miller on June 5, 2011 at 2:04pm: Regina, I will let you know asap!

Jessica, i have another question... is the meat prepared in different cuts when i get it, or would each portion be whole and need to be taken to a butcher?
