Your deposit is applied to your final balance (estimated $6,400 for ~430 lbs). Add-ons can increase the final total.

We’ll email you our standard cut sheet so you know exactly what to expect. You can note simple preferences like steak thickness (and a few other small processing notes).

After processing, we’ll reach out to schedule farm pickup or coordinate shipping and send your final invoice.
Note: Checkout may display “pickup only,” but we do ship whole steers statewide.

Tip: If you’re ordering multiple items, choose the same date so everything goes out together.
Freezer space & storage tips
Freezer space & storage tips
How much space do I need?
A solid rule of thumb is 1 cubic foot of freezer space = about 35–40 lbs of packaged meat.
- 430 lbs needs about 14–16 cu ft freezer space
Real life tip: if your freezer is already part-full, plan on 21 cu ft so it stays easy to stack and find things.
Storage best practices (easy wins):
Keep your freezer at 0°F / -18°C.
Freeze it fast: get everything into the freezer the same day you receive it.
Organize by type (ground / roasts / steaks) so you’re not digging with the door open.
Use a small bin or basket for “use first” items.
Write the date received on the outside if you want quick rotation.
How long will it last?
If it stays frozen solid, it’s safe for a long time. Quality is best when you rotate through it within 12 months.

Our farm standards
Our farm standards
We raise beef the way we feed our own family. Simple, clean, and done with care.
- 100% grass-fed & grass-finished (no grain)
- No added hormones
- No routine antibiotics
- No chemical inputs on the animals
- Raised on open pasture with rotational grazing
- Responsibly processed and packed in clean, labeled, freezer-ready packages
When you buy a share, you’re not just buying meat. You’re backing a local Hawaiʻi farm that’s working to build healthier land and stronger food security, one animal at a time.
FAQ
FAQ
Can I request specific cuts?
We keep shares consistent for everyone, so we can’t guarantee special requests. If you leave a note at checkout, we’ll do our best when it’s possible.
How is the beef packaged?
Everything is vacuum-sealed and labeled. It’s freezer-ready and easy to organize.
Where is pickup?
Pickup is at the farm on the Hiloside of the island, in Pepeekeo/Honomu. About a week before pickup, we’ll email an online sign-up sheet so you can choose your pickup time.
Can I send someone else to pick up for me?
Yes. Just forward them your pickup details and have them give your name at pickup.
What if I add other items to my order?
We’ll bundle everything together so it’s ready/shipped on the Pickup/Ship Date you selected—as long as those add-on items are available for that same date. If something has a different harvest or processing timeline (like a half pork share), it may need a later pickup/ship date. If that happens, we’ll reach out with options (move the date, split the order, or swap the add-on).
Is the beef fresh or frozen?
Shipped orders arrive frozen. Pickup orders are packaged freezer-ready (many customers freeze everything right away).
