Purchasing – Mountain Pastured Beef — from West Wind Farm
1. Our focus is on selling our beef in bulk, by the half beef or quarter beef (also known as a split half, since both forequarter and hindquarter cuts are included). ORDER IN BULK by JULY 11 for delivery August 7 to Bethesda or Gambrills, or order late summer for delivery in November to Annapolis, Gambrills, Owings Mills, or Columbis, MD (details later). 10¢/lb. or 5¢/lb. discounts are available through July 5.
2. Smaller amounts of Mountain Pastured Beef are also available, as mixed-cut "sampler packets," hamburger patty packs, and some other separate items such as organ meats; these may be ordered year-round as long as supplies last. We make one "samplers" delivery a month to Accokeek, Annapolis, Columbia, Gambrills, and Owings Mills, MD; customers may also make arrangements to pick up their sampler orders most any time by appointment at our Bethesda home office or in Silver Spring (1 mile from 495 exit 28A).
Sorry, we do not ship either sampler packets or bulk orders of Mountain Pastured Beef. |

What is a bulk order? Bulk orders comprise whole, half, or split-half beefs. Orders of split-half beefs have standard cuts. Orders of half or whole beefs are cut to customers' individual specifications. See an example of weights/number of cuts for bulk orders. The order form lists both the standard cuts and choices of cuts. The chart below indicates median weights for split-half, half, and whole beefs. Pricing Prices are based on the dressed — or hanging — weight of the beefs, according to accepted practice by small family-owned farms that sell custom-processed beef. The average "hanging" or "dressed" weight for a split half beef is about 125 pounds; the actual weight of meat received is 25-35% less than the dressed weight, depending on shrinkage during aging, and on your choice of bone-in or boneless cuts. Cost per pound of bulk orders after processing averages $6.00 to $6.50. Sample prices for bulk orders, Summer 2008
Processing, Transport, and Delivery of Bulk Orders Our beef is slaughtered under USDA inspection by Greenbrier Foods, Inc., a respected, family-run custom processing plant in Lewisburg, WV. The beef is dry-aged for at least 2 weeks to enhance flavor and tenderness. After careful custom butchering and wrapping with butcher paper in marked packets suitable for your family size, the meat is flash frozen, then stored at ~0°F until delivery. We use no chemical wash, irradiation, gasses, sodium or sugar “enhancements,” or plastic wrap when processing and packaging the meat. Your beef will be transported by reefer truck at or near 0ºF to the Maryland suburbs of Washington, D.C. We usually have both a mid-summer and a late fall delivery of bulk orders at several delivery points in Maryland, depending on orders: Bethesda (north of Washington), Accokeek (south of Washington), Annapolis, Columbia, Gambrills, and Owings Mills (northwest of Baltimore).
