What is CSA?

CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture.

By purchasing a share in our ranch, you the consumer and we the ranchers create a relationship that builds sustainable agriculture by ensuring we have a market for our meats and you have plates full of very fresh, very healthy, very humane dinners for months to come.

The 8 O'clock Ranch CSA:

Put the best of both worlds at your feet, literally! Want grass fed beef and lamb, pastured pork and chicken? How about delivered to your door once a month....and you can give us a shout with questions about cooking, a good recipe for that roast or just to chat about what we are up to!
8 O'clock Ranch will send you a monthly delivery of 20 pounds (full share) or 10 pounds (half share) of the best organically raised, dry-aged beef ribeyes, pork loin chops, lean ground beef and more right to your door, in an insulated box, so there's no fear of spoilt meat.

Thanks so much Kassandra!
Your high quality product and your excellent service and communication are two of the reasons that my family will continue to be a part of your CSA
in the future!
Happy New Year!

What we offer:

We offer 1, 3, 6, and 12 month CSA memberships. One month shares can be used to get the feel of a Meat CSA share or if you just don't eat as much meat!

Memberships are available in full (20 lbs/mth) and half (10 lbs/mth) shares of mixed cuts of beef and pork, with add-ons of lamb, chicken and maple syrup.

We also offer an Economy Share which includes ground meat, sausages, stew, some roasts and lower grade steaks in the same amounts as the other shares.

Single meat shares such as All Beef and All Pork are also available.

Shares are shipped on the first Monday of every month, except 1- month shares which will be shipped anytime. You will receive email notification with a tracking number when we ship your package.


Please Note:
Summer shares will only be shipped within the one-day shipping area. The summer heat makes it difficult to maintain quality over a longer shipping period.
If you are unsure what areas are included, please send us your zip code and we will let you know if you are eligible for summer shipping.

A Shared Commitment:

The ham steaks in last month's CSA were fantastic!
I added a little glaze & finished them in the broiler. YUM. We also really enjoyed the leg of lamb.
Looking forward to the delivery this week.
