Bulk Buying From May Hill Farm is Easy!

March 17, 2023

Stock Up

Ordering meat in bulk means more possibilities in the kitchen and less stress for your meal planning. But it requires thinking ahead, and we’re here to help. Before picking a bulk option, like a bundle or whole animal share, it’s helpful to think about how much meat your household consumes. 

To do so, use the simple chart below. Then, think about which size share might make sense for you. Before going all in on half a cow, you could try a smaller share, like an eighth or quarter, and see how it fits with your cooking habits.

How to Store

One of the common questions we get from bulk buying customers is how much space they’ll need at home to store all the cuts that come in their share. For many of our shares, you’ll be able to fit them neatly in the freezer you already have. Check out these graphics to get a better sense of how much space you’ll need.
