Overview & FAQ about our Meat Share

What is a Meat Share/CSA? what does CSA stand for, and why join a share/CSA?

CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. We offer a variety of "shares" of what we produce on the farm. Members purchase "subscriptions" , and in return, receive a farm products from us. Meat Share is once a month. Herd share is every week. This is a win-win, for the farm and for the member. The farm receives cash flow and we get to meet those that are eating the food we produce. The Meat Share member gets healthy meat in smaller amounts for those that don't have the freezer space for large quantities, and it's a very budget friendly way to buy healthy meat. 

Reasons many people buy from us.

• Buy Local: The money you spend with our farm stays in the local economy. We are less than 25 miles from Grand Rapids and many of the surrounding areas, and make an effort to buy locally too.

• Know your Farmer: Everyone you meet from Woodbridge Dairy Farm works on the farm. We will always answer your questions and love talking about what is happening on the farm.

• Excellent Taste and Quality: Our animals have access to pasture during grazing season, making them full of omega-3 fatty acids, and nutrient dense. We raise most of our own feed for our animals. Our land has been chemical free since 2004. Certified organic in 2018 to 2020. We still can be certified organic at any time but choose to not spend the extra money or paperwork for a little sticker logo. We know happy animals make healthy products.

• Convenience: We have pick up location on the farm at the Growshery Farm Store. We offer delivery in a 25 mile radius of Woodbridge Dairy Farm. Minimum Share purchase of $80 plus delivery cost of $15 dollars

• Customer Service: We want to meet and exceed your expectation of us. Feed back from you is very helpful to us, it allows us a chance to improve upon our services offered to you.

Meat Share seasons

Our Meat Share has two seasons. February to June and July to November. Meat is cut differently at different times of the season. Summer = Grilling meals, Winter = oven meals

PICKING UP: Meat share season. February to November. Pick up during the Growshery Farm Store public hours. (Fridays 4pm-7pm and Saturdays 10am-1pm) Pick up is on the 3rd weekend of each month. Delivery is the following week, Monday or Wednesday by 3pm.

What if shares have already begun, can I still join? Are there any deadlines?

You can register to join at any time during the season. There are no deadlines, only limited number of shares. If you choose to get in one month and cancel the following month there is no guarantee there will be shares available to rejoin.

Can we choose which cuts are in our share?

Our shares are not customizable by the cut. We can plan how many animals to raise, but we can't plan for a scenario where, someone wants New York Strips and Tenderloin fillets, and someone else wants Porterhouse Steaks out of the same animal, only one type of cut can be made out of that animal but not both. We make every effort to keep track of what cuts are provided to you the prior month, so you get a rotation of cuts.

What would I do with cuts that I am unfamiliar with, don't use enough of or like?

Members maybe surprised when trying our recipes with new cuts, which they may not have considered. If there are still come cuts that you don't like, you can share them with family/friends/co-workers. If there are too many cuts that you dislike in our example share, then Woodbridge Meat Share may not be right for you. We can't promise specific cuts per individual tastes. We do ask questions about your food story so we can full fill the meat share fit best.

Where do I pick up my share, or is there a delivery site?
