Local Florida Beef · Serving Jacksonville & Surrounding Counties
Angus beef by theQuarter.Half.Whole.
Farm-fresh Angus beef you can trust — raised and finished on a family farm in Palatka. Shares of the whole animal only — no individual cuts.
Our Standard
Three promises, kept on every animal.
Grass first, always
Open pasture and native grasses, with room to roam — never confined, never rushed, never a feedlot. That's the flavor foundation you can taste in every cut.
Natural grain finish
Grass fed, then finished naturally on grain for the final 45 days on the same farm. That's where the marbling, buttery texture, and rich beefy finish come from.
The whole animal, nothing less
We don't run a cut list. You buy a share of the animal — quarter, half, or whole — and our licensed butcher handles the harvest and every cut. Every steak, roast, and pound of grind is yours.
From Our Herd
Real animals. Real beef. Real freezers filled.
No stock photos here — this is our cattle, our butcher's work, and our customers' shares.
How It Works
From our pasture to your plate, in four steps.
No grocery store mystery. You know the farmer, the animal, and the butcher — and you pay one honest price per pound of hanging weight.
Reserve your share
Choose quarter, half, or whole and place your deposit. We set aside one of our animals and book your harvest date.
Raised by the farmer
Your animal is grass fed on pasture, then finished naturally on grain for its final 45 days — all on the same farm. You get updates along the way.
On a half or whole
Every order is discussed on a personal call — we go over the cut sheet together, cut by cut. Thick-cut ribeyes? More grind? Your call. Quarters receive the butcher's standard cut, a balanced mix of everything.
Fill your freezer
Once your animal is harvested, your beef is cut, vacuum-sealed, labeled, and frozen by the butcher. Pay the balance on hanging weight and we meet you to hand it off.
Pricing
One price per pound of hanging weight. That's it.
Only 4 steers left this season
Less per pound than the grocery store — and you know exactly where your beef comes from. Quarters and halves are $7.25/lb, whole steers $7.15/lb on the hanging weight — subject to change — with all fees included: cut, vacuum sealed, labeled & frozen by North Florida Custom Meats. We do not sell individual cuts of meat.

What's Included
This is what a quarter actually looks like.
Ribeyes, T-bones, sirloins, tri-tip, roasts, cube steaks, short ribs, brisket, 35+ lbs of ground beef, soup bones, and fat for tallow. Exact amounts vary with each animal — you're priced on the actual hanging weight, never a guess.
Half and whole orders scale up from here and go fully custom.
Organs (liver, heart, tongue, oxtail) upon request — first come, first served. One customer per animal.
By special request
Prefer 100% grass fed? We also offer grass fed, grass finished beef — no grain finish at all — at a more premium price. Just mention it when you reserve or when you call Stacy.
Who We Are
Farm to table, the way it should be.
Our Angus cattle are raised and finished by a fourth-generation farmer in Palatka, Florida — grass fed on open pasture with a natural grain finish for flavor and marbling. No feedlots, no hormones, no routine antibiotics, no mystery meat — ever.
You buy a share of the live animal, and North Florida Custom Meats — our licensed butcher — does the harvest, dry-aging, cutting, and wrapping. All processing fees are included in your price, so everything stays simple and by the book. When you reserve, you get our phone number and a straight answer to every question.
"He makes grass grow for the cattle, and plants for people to cultivate — bringing forth food from the earth."
Psalm 104:14
