Pasture-Raised Food. Long-Term Value. Real Convenience.

More Long Island families are looking for a better way to feed their families as grocery prices rise and food quality becomes harder to trust. A livestock share gives your family pasture-raised food, transparent sourcing, freezer convenience, and a fair long-term value.

Better Grocery Store Economics

High-quality pasture-raised beef at the grocery store can get expensive fast. Many families regularly see:

  • Grass-fed ground beef often around $9–14/lb
  • Steaks often around $20–40/lb
  • Organic beef cuts often significantly higher

A livestock share helps families stock a freezer with a practical mix of packaged beef at a stronger long-term blended value.

Worth The Drive

Many Long Island families are willing to make the trip because they care about:

  • More transparent food for their families
  • Knowing where their food comes from
  • Freezer convenience
  • Fair long-term value
  • Supporting a real family farm

For many families, one pickup can help stock the freezer for months.

First Time Buying A Share?

We make the process simple and approachable for first-time share buyers.

  • Freezer sizing guidance
  • Typical packaged yield expectations
  • Pickup coordination with the butcher
  • Cut selection guidance
  • Clear next steps before processing

Call or text Samantha and we’ll walk you through it.

Healthy Family Freezer Shares At Fair Long-Term Value.

A freezer share is not just bulk meat — it is a simpler, smarter way to feed your family with pasture-raised protein from animals selected by the farm for flavor, quality, and consistency.

01

Better Value By The Freezer

Reserving a share gives you access to a large supply of cuts, ground meat, roasts, and family staples in one seasonal allocation — often at a stronger value than buying similar quality cut-by-cut.

02

Custom Butchered For You

This is not a mystery-box model. Your share is processed by an independent butcher with cutting selections that can be tailored to how your family actually cooks and eats.

03

Limited Seasonal Availability

Shares are available in small seasonal batches based on animal readiness and butcher scheduling. Once a season is reserved, the next opportunity may be months away.

Fill Your Family Freezer with Real Farm Meat

Participating farm animals are raised on open pasture with a slow, careful approach. Request availability for a half or whole share and stock your freezer for months.

What's in Your
Freezer Share?

A freezer share is one of the best values in food — but it helps to know what to expect before you order. Here's a simple breakdown by animal.

Black Angus Beef No Hormones  ·  No Antibiotics
Black Angus beef share pricing is based on hanging weight (approximately 700–900 lbs for a whole). Here's what that means for your freezer — and remember, every cut is fully customizable to your preferences.

How It Works

Reserving a farm share is designed to be simple. Four clear steps from availability request to freezer pickup.

01
Choose Your Share

Select beef, lamb, or pork — and whether you'd like a half or whole share. Not sure? Reach out and Samantha can help you choose the best fit.

02
Place a Reservation Deposit

Reserve your share with a reservation deposit after availability is confirmed. Samantha will coordinate updates with the farm as your share moves through the seasonal process.

03
Custom Butcher Cuts

Share your preferred cut selections. The independent processor handles cutting, wrapping, labeling, and freezing according to the final cut sheet.

04
Pick Up Your Share

Pick up your finished share through the processor or as otherwise coordinated with the farm. Packages are boxed, labeled, frozen, and ready for your freezer.

You Know Exactly
Where It Comes From

100% Pasture Raised

Participating farm animals live outside on open pasture — not in confinement — and are raised according to the farm’s animal-care practices.

No Hormones or Antibiotics

Livestock is raised without added growth hormones or routine antibiotics, according to the farm's stated practices.

Better Value Per Pound

Reserving a bulk share directly through the farm can create a stronger blended value than buying similar cuts one package at a time.

Real Family Farm

Wild Boys works with a real family farm in Chenango Forks, NY, where livestock is raised in small seasonal groups rather than anonymous commodity supply chains.

Beef, Lamb & Pork

Beef, lamb, and pork share options are available seasonally. Stock your freezer with variety — or focus on the share your family uses most.

Vacuum Sealed & Labeled

Finished cuts are processed, packaged, labeled, and frozen by the independent processor — ready to store in your freezer.

Raised With Purpose.

At the participating farm, animals are carefully selected and purpose-raised for meat quality, flavor, and consistency — not simply pasture access alone. From Black Angus cattle to Yorkshire pork and quality lamb stock, the farm focuses on genetics, nutrition, and responsible pasture management to produce well-finished meat for local families.
