Meat CSA

Beef • Lamb • Turkey

The students in Smokey House’s Youthwork Program raise our livestock from start to finish—they feed and water the animals, herd them to new pastures, clean barns, and manage their health. Through these experiences, our students gain valuable personal, academic and workplace skills.

Our Pasture Stewardship

Smokey House cows and sheep are grass-fed, rotationally grazing through pastures and our poultry forage in paddocks and fallow gardens. Our practices minimize fossil fuel consumption and maintain soil fertility, benefiting the animals and the environment!

Our Grass-Fed and Naturally-Raised Meats

When you purchase meat from Smokey House you know how and where the animals were raised and can be confident that the meat is healthy for your body. Meat from grass-fed animals is lower in total fat and calories than meat from animals raised on grain and it can actually lower your cholesterol levels. Our cows and sheep are grass-fed and all of our animals are raised naturally—we use no growth hormones and only use medications when it is necessary for an animal’s health.

Beef, Lamb, and Turkey—the Smokey House Meat CSA

We sell Smokey House beef, lamb, and turkey through our Meat CSA program. For each type of meat, CSA customers purchase “shares” of the year’s harvest and receive a variety of cuts. A beef share is one eighth of a cow, approximately 50-60 pounds; a lamb share is a whole lamb, around 28-35 pounds; and a turkey share is one bird, generally 15-20 pounds.

Lamb shares are custom cut and packaged to your preferences while beef shares include an assortment of standard cuts. Common cuts include steaks or chops, ground meat, roasts and ribs.

When you buy a share, you pay an average price per pound for all the types of cuts you receive. The cost of a share is determined by the total packaged weight of all cuts upon delivery. Shares are available for pickup at Smokey House on specified dates between late summer and late fall. Some of these meats may be available by the cut directly from our farm.

We retail pastured turkeys as whole roasters, sold by the pound in late summer and fall. We raise our birds outside in mobile “tractors,” where they can forage for insects and eat seeds and plants while protected from predators. Whole turkeys are dress at 15-20 pounds.
