2021-22 Winter MEAT CSA SHARE
Get a chance to try nose-to-tail cooking and eating by signing up for this share which we run through a partnership with Stoneboat Farm in Helvetia. In each full share pickup (2/month – matching the Stoneboat veggie box schedule) you will typically receive 4 (sometimes more) different meat/animal items from our farm (and we offer ½ shares as well, suited for individuals, smaller families, or people who eat less meat). Our meat is frozen, so you can always choose whether to thaw and cook the food soon or save it in your freezer.
Expect everything from beef roasts to ground lamb to bones for making stock and the occasional adventure challenge (but mostly things you’re used to!). To get some ideas of the range of possible offerings, you can look at the examples we’ve listed at the bottom of this page, or at our farm meat cuts/price list. Fall is butchering time, so most of those “sold out” notes will soon be going away, and we’ll have full freezers to pick from for the winter CSA meat share.
Our meat is truly different from the grocery store. The animals are completely pasture-raised and finished, ensuring the benefits from things like leaner cuts, more Omega-3 fatty acids and more antioxidants, as well as freedom from things like antibiotics and hormones. We also provide recipes every week to help you learn how to cook this different style of meat – such as slow cooked dishes that make healthy collagen more accessible. We’ve been Stoneboat winter CSA customers from the start, so we focus on recipes that will use what’s in your Stoneboat veggie box, as elements of your meat dishes or a harmonious part of your overall meal. For those who have participated before, there are always new recipes!
- Runs November 6 (Hollywood; 9th for Stoneboat) to March 12th (15th) – 20 weeks as 10 pickups on alternate weeks (following the Stoneboat vegetable pick-up schedule)
- $410 whole share; $205 half share – either payable bi-monthly as $41/$20.50 upon pick up or with a discount for paying in advance in full ($386 full share, $193 half share)

- Pick up at Stoneboat Farm (Tuesdays) or Hollywood Farmers’ Market (Saturdays)
If the CSA seems like too much commitment right now, our meat is also available for purchase by the piece on request, and we bring it to Stoneboat/Hollywood for you to pick up alongside your vegetable box. Check our our meat cuts/price list on our web site, make your selections, and email (daniel@winghamfarms.com) a day or more ahead of the box delivery date to make your request. We send you the price (with a preorder discount!) and can pay by cash or check when you pick up the items, or contact us to pay over the phone.
