Looking for freezer beef - Central IN

[Bruenor]

My wife and I have been getting tired of the quality of meat that we're finding in the local grocery stores, and are thinking about buying a quarter or half cow. Does anyone here raise their own for sale? If not, does anyone have any recommendations in the Central IN area?

Thanks.

If I didn't personally know someone who raised and sold beef, I'd try to find a local locker plant in a small town and do some investigating. When we run out of the 1/2 beef, I usually buy from the Locker until the next one is ready. They could probably lead you in the right direction.

Smith Family Farms

Just down the road from me. Good people, good beef. The pumpkin patch is cool also.

Give them a call. I think they were trying to raise coby beef also just getting the proper paperwork and a butcher who was qualified.

I've thought about Smith's. I live pretty close to there (15 minutes or less), and have been to their farm during a garage sale once. I've not had any of their beef before though. Thanks for the recommendation.

Columbus, IN natural grass-fed beef - Local grass fed beef owned by a couple of good ole boys who are pretty young but the Glick farmers are long established in Columbus. I buy cuts from them on a regular basis. They have excellent "steak burger" grindings.

I've bought more from Fleming Farms because it is cheaper. It tastes delicious. He is a good person to deal with. I was asking the difference between two cuts of meet. I bought one because I had burned through my fancy-steak budget. I paid for my purchase and as I was stuffing the receipt in my now empty wallet and walking away he said to hold on a moment. He dug in the deep freezer and presented to me with a free cut of meat that I did NOT pick up that day due to my budgeting and told me that if i liked it to come back next week and pick up more.

Yea, that's pretty amazing customer service.

Columbus may be a bit far for you, I don't know. If you find out prices and things and you can see if they will wheel and deal. If you need help splitting a cow, I can help you with this, too.

We have a deep freezer now and have plenty of room for beef purchases. Good luck in your search.

Knightstown Locker is another good resource. We make a trip out there about every other month.

We just bought a 1/4 cow from Archer's Meats in Fishers. I like the meat. I didn't really check the prices around other places--maybe I will shop around to get a better price next time?

Do you go to Muncie much? Fisher packing has a store there on Walnut.

There is a member on here that sales beef. I cannot for the life of me remember who. I believe he is from Connersville
