We need you and you need us.
CSA means Community Supported Agriculture.
Local meat production has never been more important, but we really do need you! We need you to know how critical it is for local farms and ranches to exist. We need you to believe in what we’re doing enough to support local agriculture and to make a difference in the quality, price, value and source of the food you eat. We are asking you to invest in us so we can continue to invest in you.
That is the idea behind CSAs. Community Supported Agriculture is the direct connection between the rancher and the consumer. You are buying more than a “meat box,” you are sharing in the year’s harvest of the freshest and best meat available for you and your family. By sharing in the plenty, you’ll get a diverse variety of high quality meats each month for your table, and experience the pleasure of serving the best proteins available.
We are currently scheduling CSAs for the fourth Saturday of each month.
Why Join our CSA?
-
Your commitment to Sweet Mercy Farms means that you receive your quality proteins at a discount. Often 10% or more.
-
As a CSA member, you get first dibs on the best cuts. Each month you’ll receive 2 steaks, 1 roast, 2 pounds of grind plus additional hand curated cuts to bring you a variety of high quality meats each month.
-
Yes, we all love a fabulous steak, but what about those lesser known gems, like the flat iron, the tri-tip or even pork belly? You get to try a wide diversity of meats in the CSA, varied from month to month.
-
Support your own power to choose where your meat comes from, how the animals are treated and what goes into them. Local ranchers help defend your right to eat real food.
-
There’s a fellowship that happens over food. And there’s an accountability that takes place when we hand you your CSA box every month. When you know your farmer, his family and his values, you have a connection to where your food is coming from, how it was raised and what was put into it - and you can count on that when you serve our meats to your friends and family.

Did you know that there are currently only 4 meat packing conglomerates in the US which control up to 85% of the nation's beef, pork and chicken? (To find out more about the Big 4, please read here.)
The best proteins in the world are local.
All of our beef is grass-fed and grass-finished. Is this important? You bet it is. Read here to see some of the benefits of grass-fed and finished beef. Our pigs are fed only grains and alfalfa, our lamb is pasture raised and our hens are free range. We don’t use hormones, antibiotics or vaccines on our animals and we don’t spray pesticides on our fields. We live on the same land that the animals live on, we drink from the same aquifers and we place the same meat on the dinner table that we sell to you. So we feel like it’s important to treat you the way we want to be treated.
