The County Connect Meat Share Program is now up and we are currently featuring Beef.
The County Connect Meat Share Program was created to bring high quality, naturally raised, healthy, local meat to the people of our community.
Through County Connect, you can purchase a “share” of an animal lovingly and sustainably raised by local farmers you know and trust. Meat from the whole animal is used giving you a variety to enjoy with your family.
Benefits of Participation…
Know where your food comes from and how it was grown and raised. Feel good about eating a high quality natural product that is safe for your whole family. Also, know you are supporting the farmers in our community who love what they do, nurture the animals they share and have a commitment to quality of food you can enjoy.
Discover many ways to enjoy beef. The whole animal is custom cut by our Butcher, Jamie Waldron who believes some of the most flavourful cuts are often ignored and/or overlooked. Each share gets a selection of both the popular cuts which include the well known steaks, and other cuts for you to discover and enjoy. Tips and recipes will be included to ensure you enjoy every portion.
Save Money. By purchasing a share, your overall cost of the premium product that you receive will be lower than what you would pay for an equivalent quantity and quality of pre-cut meat at retail. In addition, you can feel great about knowing you are supporting a sustainable local economy.
Help farmers. With your commitment in purchasing a portion of the animal and paying a deposit up front, you allow farmers to plan yields and grow their farms. Farming is hard work that is not always profitable. By supporting our local farmers, you help to ensure a sustainable supply of fresh, quality food.

All the beef offered has been naturally grown and fed here in Essex County. No hormones, steroids or antibiotics have been used, nor are the animals fed any animal by-products or GMO grain. Grain and hay are used during the winter months and at the end to add greater fat content and marbling which creates tenderness and develops the flavour in the beef. The beef is then dry aged for 4 weeks to maximize the flavours and tenderness.
Cost
The shares are available as follows: 10 lbs = $89 = ($8.90/lb) 25 lbs = $210 = ($8.40/lb) 50 lbs = $399 = ($7.98/lb) 100 lbs = $649 = ($6.59/lb) 200 lbs = $1230 = ($6.15/lb)
