Meat CSA

Jacob Springs Farm Meat CSA is a significant income-generating program for the farm. It's intended to reduce the significant barrier to entry for customers wanting local meat represented by the locker trade. Many customers are reluctant to buy whole and half animals because they do not have enough freezer space, they want more variety (it takes a long time for a single person who does not eat large quantities of meat to consume an entire side of beef) or because they are intimidated by the process.

How it works

In the community supported agriculture (CSA) model, members become partners with local farm, buying-in at the beginning of the season in exchange for a promise to receive a weekly share of what is produced.

From the flier:

We want to invite you not only to support us, but to join us as stewards of, and ultimately dependents upon, a thriving, healthy ecosystem.

We offer herd shares of our farm’s natural chicken, beef, pork, lamb and turkey. The meat comes in 5 monthly installments starting the first week of July. We believe both animals and people are parts of a healthy ecosystem and community. We want you to feel great about the meat you eat, knowing exactly where it came from and how the animals were treated. Taste and see the difference of our quality pasture-raised meats!
