Sure, you could buy cheaper meat at the store.
Multiple weekly store runs, throwing out spoiled meat, that funky smell as it cooks. Is it worth it?
Imagine shopping your home freezer first, making each grocery store run quicker.
Imagine sharing meat with your newly-launched adult children or easily blessing the new parents from church with a home-cooked casserole.
Imagine clean plates and full bellies from everyone, toddlers and teenagers alike.
Imagine sitting down to a steak dinner for two on your back porch in May and savoring what beef tasted like when you were growing up.
The point isn't to stuff the freezer with cheap meat.
It's about unlocking a better life by being connected to the food on your plate.

I didn't know what great meat tasted like before buying from Blue Silo. So happy to find such an easy & convenient way to support our local farmers!
This was a very simple & helpful buying experience. I got a quarter of a cow and have been loving it so far!
I ordered a couple smaller packages first. All of it was delicious so I just ordered the 1/2 Cow.
How to order bulk meat packages from Blue Silo
When do I pay the deposit?
Your deposit is paid by card when you order online. The charge will be posted 1-2 days after you place your order. We must manually process it. You will receive a receipt by email. Your deposit is a payment toward the total cost. The balance is due 10 days before your meat is ready. Watch for an order update email 3-4 weeks before your scheduled delivery date.
When will my meat be ready?
The "Delivery Date" listed will be the day your meat will be ready for pick up.
How do I get my bulk meat order?
Home delivery is available for addresses in Springfield, Willard, Nixa, Ozark, & Republic, Missouri. Anyone outside the delivery area should plan to pick up at The Farm Store. Most deliveries will be made on Monday or Wednesday afternoons by our delivery driver. Approximately 2-4 weeks before your meat is ready, we will contact you by email to finalize your delivery details.
Are discounts available?
Customers get a 3% discount for paying their final balance with cash or check. You will select that option as part of the cut instructions form.
Do you charge by hanging weight? Do I have to pay the processor?
NO! Our obsession is making this process simple, and understanding what "hanging weight" is is NOT simple or straightforward. You do not pay by hanging weight. All butcher shop processing costs are included in the total price. There are no surprise fees. All payments are made directly to Blue Silo.
How can I customize my bulk meat package?
Every bulk meat package starts with a Standard Cut List. You have choices to customize the cuts you receive using our simple Cut Instruction Forms. Follow the link to preview what options you'll have. *Please note: filling out the form does NOT constitute placing an order*
What size of freezer do I need to buy a 1/2 Cow or 1/2 Hog?
A standalone freezer is required for any bulk package. Either a chest or upright style freezer will work. Chest freezers can fit more and maintain a more consistent temperature. Rule of thumb is 1 cu ft storage space for every 25 lb frozen meat. From personal experience, I know that a 1/2 beef fits comfortably fits in a 12 cu ft chest freezer with room to spare for organization.
How long is frozen meat good for?
So long as the product isn't subjected to temperature fluctuations and the vac-pac seal stays intact, our frozen beef retains its freshness for 9-12 months after packaging, sometimes longer. We recommend you aim for a side of meat your family can eat through in less than a year to ensure you enjoy our meat's peak flavor.
