Buying from a farm is different to buying from a supermarket or butcher. Usually they won’t have meat “lying around” waiting for your order.
Think of it as ordering direct from the paddock, just for you!
In order for beef to be done well, it takes about 3 weeks to go from the farm to your fridge, and abattoirs don’t run every day.. so we recommend people allow between 3 and 5 weeks for a large order – especially when ordering from a smaller farm.
As always, please refer to the individual farm and product when ordering.
You will receive a very high quality product – unlike what you can usually purchase as a consumer.
We just can’t rush the process!
Try and See boxes let you try the quality of the meat before diving into a larger box.
You’ll get mince, steaks and roasts. But remember each farm is different so be sure to check the individual product descriptions.
Every cut is on the table, from the Osso Bucco, to eye fillet!

These 5kg boxes allow a famer to split a full size between many people! You can’t choose your cuts though!
Try and See Box Pro and Con List
The 1/8th box is the most economical way to buy from the farmer – unless you want to buy a 1/4 or a full side of beef.
Many farms sell in 1/8th as it’s an easy way to help get the size of a cow down to something ‘manageable” without incurring the high fees in packing and shipping to do the “Try and See” boxes.
Some options are listed below, but MANY more can be found via the marketplace.

A 1/4 cow is a full side, split between 2 people. You’ll usually get slightly more than double ordering a 1/8th. The reasons for this are complicated, but ultimately come down to ‘trimming’ and preparation of boxes.
If not every steak has to be “perfect” then you’ll end up with more steak
At this sized box you’ll certainly need a chest freezer!
Most farmers will offer a 1/4 as their minimum size due to the cost savings in both packing and butchering.

A full side of beef… lets hope you’ve got a big freezer!
This product is the way to get exactly what you want, with multiple cut up options and the most flexibility!
After all, the entire side of beef is yours and yours alone!
You’ll also end up with the best possible price per kg!
Buying a full side of beef is the best way to support the smaller farmers, as it allows then to keep their costs down. Many butchers will only process in 1/2 and 1/4 cows too … so you’ll find MOST of the farms on the platform offer this option.
