Today, we wanted to answer some common questions we get from customers looking to buy in bulk and stock up! Storing a bulk order of cuts in the freezer is an easy way to keep your kitchen stocked up. To start your bulk order, head to blacktansyfarm.com.

When you buy meat in bulk from us it helps us better plan for the year and remain a sustainable part of your local economy. As owners of Black Tansy Farm, we wear many hats: land stewards, animal raisers, soil scientists, small business owners. Juggling all this is can be hard and unpredictable, so we always appreciate when our business can feel a little more predictable. Bulk orders do just that. When customers buy in bulk, it can help us prepare for each season and make sure we have all we need to face the year’s challenges and continue to offer good meat for your table.

That’s why this month, we’re encouraging you to stock up on our local meat, so that your freezer is always full of the ingredients you need for a special meal. We’re sharing recipe ideas, guides, and how-to videos to help you make the best of every cut you get. If you haven’t heard, we’re also giving away a chest freezer! Enter now for your chance to win a chest freezer to make bulking up even easier.

Grill. Braise. Roast. Sauté. That’s it! If you know those four cooking methods, you’ll be able to cook any cut Black Tansy Farm could throw at you. That means cooking everything you get in one of our bulk shares is easy, and you’ll barely have to plan ahead aside from moving a few cuts at a time from the freezer to the fridge.

It’s all about knowing where the cut came from on the animal. Harder working muscles, like from the shoulder or legs, need to be cooked lower and slower, making them great for braising or roasting. Less-used muscles, like the tenderloin, can be cooked more quickly, making them excellent on the grill or in a sauté pan. After that, turning any cut into a meal can be as simple as adding your favorite sauce, vegetable or starch. This series of videos will show you how: https://www.goodmeatbreakdown.org/local-meat-local-flavor (scroll halfway down).

Did you know you can fit half a hog in an average home freezer?

One of the common questions we get from bulk buying customers is how much space they’ll need at home to store all the cuts that come in their share.

If you’re daydreaming about having more space to stock up and make fewer trips to the store, then you should enter our Fill Your Freezer sweepstakes to win a free chest freezer! To enter, head here: https://app.viralsweep.com/sweeps/full/6f3f3f-127130?framed=1.

Buying in bulk not only offers peace of mind because you know you have secured a local supply of meat for the year, it also saves you money!

At the butcher counter or grocery store, you’ll see a different price per pound for every cut under the sun: roasts, steaks, ground. But by buying a bulk share, that all gets simplified to one price per pound, no matter what type of meat or which cuts are included. That means tender steaks are now priced the same as delicious, slow cooking shoulder cuts. And guess what? If you know some very basic cooking methods, every one of these cuts is delicious and nutritious.

To get started, head to blacktansyfarm.com, and reach out if you have any questions.

Have you ever tried a ranch steak? What about a teres major? Buying in bulk from local farmers can give you access to cuts you just won’t find anywhere else, which is all the more reason home cooks should give it a try.

One of our favorites at Black Tansy Farm is the Tomahawk Steak. It is a ribeye steak with 8–12 inches of bone cleaned and left on. The bone helps insulate the meat and keep it juicy and tender. The best way to prepare this amazing cut is by doing a reverse sear after dry-brining for 12-24 hours.

If you’re nervous about how to cook new cuts, our friends over at have created easy guides for learning how to cook any cut with simple cooking methods.

To get in touch about ordering in bulk, head to our shop or shoot us a message.

To help celebrate the benefits of buying in bulk this month, we’re launching a very special sweepstakes, giving away prizes that make it easier for you to stock up on local meat and local flavor!

One of these freezers can easily be placed in a garage, spare room, or basement and can hold all the bulk meat you desire! You can also win a free virtual cooking class from Meredith Leigh, a butcher, author, and one of our favorite local meat advocates.

When you stock up on good, local meat, you’re ready for whatever life has in store.

If you’ve bought directly from a local rancher before, you know that meals made from thoughtfully raised meat just taste better, not to mention it feels better to support your local economy. But it can be hard to keep the fridge filled with good meat from the grocery store each week on top of work, family, and everything else. That’s why we encourage customers to buy in bulk, fill your freezer, and ensure that even when you have less time to plan, shop and cook, you’ll have the main ingredients you need already right at home.

This month, Black Tansy Farm will be providing tips about how to buy in bulk, store it at home, and easily turn your cuts into delicious meals. We’ll also be sharing opportunities to enter an exciting sweepstakes to win a new chest freezer and other prizes that can help you stock up on local good meat!

At Black Tansy Farm we offer an affordable pastured Meat CSA in a variety of share sizes, and we’re here to help you choose the option that’s best for your household. Head to our shop to get started.
