When costs go up, we feel it too
This is not an email we wanted to write.
We’ve reached the point where we have to increase our prices.
We’ve been talking about it for a few months and holding off as long as we could. We were really hoping fuel would come down and things would ease a bit, but that hasn’t happened.
You’ve probably heard it said that 2026 could be “the most expensive crop ever put in the ground.” We’re feeling that on our end too. Since 2019 (before everything changed), farming costs have gone up by about 50%.
This isn’t about taking more profit. It’s about covering the real cost of raising animals the way we do.
Just this past weekend, it cost us $110 in fuel for deliveries alone. That doesn’t include tractor fuel, feed, processing, or all the other day-to-day costs that go into getting meat from our farm to your table. Processing prices have gone up as well.
We’re a family of four, and we feel the same pressure to stretch a dollar as everyone else right now. That’s part of what makes this decision so hard.
We don’t take raising prices lightly. But the reality is, we can’t keep farming if we’re losing money.
We’re committed to continuing to raise animals with care and doing things the right way. This change helps make sure we can keep going.
The updated pricing will take effect on May 17, after our next delivery.
On a more positive note, we do have two animals heading to the butcher this Tuesday.
That means we’ll have more cuts coming back soon and added to the website for you to choose from. We know how frustrating it can be when certain items are out of stock, so we’re looking forward to being able to offer a fuller selection again.
A quick note as well—our website inventory update didn’t happen tonight. We apologize for that. We were busy getting cows moved out into bigger pens and ran out of time.We’ll get things updated as soon as we can.
