Support Grassfed Ranching with CSA

We at Pawnee Pride Meats believe that Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is an idea whose time has come to sustainable ranching. CSA is a special relationship between the meat lover and the rancher, in which the meat lover commits to the purchase of a share of the annual production (in this case a half beef), thus becoming a "share holder" in the ranch. As a shareholder, the consumer secures his annual grassfed beef needs while enjoying many of the benefits available to the on-site ranch family including a preferred customer status.

Why a CSA? We all support causes and organizations that we would like to have available to our futures. Today's rancher and the meat they produce are at risk. Joining a CSA is a win-win-win! You secure your annual meat supply, your support sustains the ranch, and the sustainable ranch prospers into the future.

What does membership require? Membership starts with a "handshake" commitment to six, twenty-pound CSA bundles over the period of the year. No membership fee, no contracts, no rigid delivery schedule. We currently delivery to several locations in southeast Nebraska and will simply delivery your bundle as requested.

What does the bundle consist of? The "bundle" consists of 20 pounds of mid-range value beef cuts. Usually about 10-12 pounds ground steak, 4-5# of roasts, 2-3# of steaks, and 2-3# of stew meat, stir-fry strips, and/or beef shanks. This can be adjusted upon request and availability. You will always receive more value than if ordered separately.

What is the cost? The cost is $120 per bundle ($720/year), payable upon receipt of your bundle. You mayl notice that the cumulative annual cost is about the same cost as a small half beef. That's the intent. Additional items can be added to the package at a discount and delivered at the same time.

Are there any membership perks? A foundational concept of CSA is that it's membership will be treated as a preferred community of consumers. This will be exemplified by frequent communication, annual CSA events, and by giving preferential treatment for products in limited supply.

Must we join the CSA to buy from Pawnee Pride? We will continue to welcome everyone interested grass based meats to buy from us at our drop-off locations and Farmer's markets. In fact many of our customers that already buy a "self designed" share of our meat each year will be treated as members. Members will simply have secured their meat supply and the benefits of being a member of the ranch community.
