We offer two versions of our meat CSA. Our Winter Meat Orders, and a new "Meat Share" available during the regular Farm season.
Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) means our community invests in BARR FARMS to allow us to raise healthy animals on a sustainable scale, while caring for the land and each other. The CSA provides security to both community members and farmers by putting us in direct relationship with each other. A MEAT CSA is a concept where community members pay for a share of the animals harvested on our farm. We adapted the concept of a vegetable CSA where members pay in advance and receive a harvest of seasonal vegetables each week during the growing season.

WINTER CUSTOM MEAT ORDERS (Winter Meat CSA)
Our winter meat CSA runs in the winter months in two sessions, September-December and January-April. To be added to the email list to learn when signups open for each session, email farmer@barrfarmsky.com.
BENEFITS OF WINTER MEAT CSA: -- FULLY CUSTOMIZED: order exactly what you want, as much or as little (no Minimum order) -- Pick up monthly -- Discount from retail and regular season Meat Share prices -- NEW "Farmer's Choice" option
WINTER MEAT CSA STRUCTURE Currently, we offer Grass-finished Beef, Grass-Fed Chicken and Pastured Pork. (Beef is fed ONLY Grass. Chickens and Pork are pastured and fed local non-GMO grains) The Fall/Winter MEAT CSA runs in 4-month increments, with delivery on a monthly basis. Members agree to pay for the full 4-month session prior to or by the first delivery.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The amount of each meat cut purchased will be a bit more or less depending on the size of the prepackaged cuts. FOR EXAMPLE, if you choose one 3.0 lb chicken each month, you may receive a 3.2 lb chicken one month and a 2.8 lb chicken the next month. We believe this CSA-style flexibility benefits both the farmer and member.
