Jacob Springs Farm Meat CSA is a significant program for the farm. It's intended to be a way for people who want local, clean, pastured, organic meats without the significant barrier to entry 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.

The Jacob Springs Farm Meat CSA is a way to get the clean meat you want from a trusted local source at a good price.

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 regular share of what is produced throughout the season.
