Natick Community Organic Farm Offers Sustainable Meat Shares

Posted on August 16, 2021 by Green Newton

Natick Community Organic Farm raises farm animals on their certified organic pastures and feed them certified organic grain as a supplement. They are raised in the public eye using only the most humane of practices and are slaughtered at the highest quality humane slaughterhouse in Massachusettes. All meat is “fresh-frozen,” by the farm’s local USDA-certified butchers.

The CSA share is composed of:

  • 50-75% ground products including ground beef, ground pork, ground lamb, and sausage
  • 25-50% grilling cuts like steaks, pork chops, lamb chops, etc
  • As with any CSA, all share contents will selected at the Farmers’ discretion. We cannot predict or guarantee share contents.

Small shares cost $200. Small shareholders will receive over $50 worth of meat per pick up at a minimum discount of 5%; it’s likely to be higher.

Large shares cost $400. Large shareholders will receive over $100 worth of meat per pick up at a minimum discount of 10%; it’s likely to be higher.

For $100 more, small or large CSA shareholders can add one whole chicken to each pick up, at a savings of approximately $5/bird.

Pick ups will place every other week, during the weeks of September 6, September 20, October 4, and October 18 during NCOF’s regular staffed hours. (Monday-Thursday 9am-4pm, and Friday 9am-1pm)
