Why We Don’t Focus on Bulk Beef: Flexibility, Accessibility, and Convenience

At Tyner Pond Farm, while we occasionally offer bulk beef options, it’s not our primary focus. We believe that selling meat by the cut offers more flexibility and makes high-quality, sustainable food accessible to a wider range of people. Here’s why we’ve chosen this approach:

Order What You Want, When You Want

Buying in bulk can be convenient for some, but it often requires customers to invest thousands of dollars upfront and accept cuts they might not prefer. At Tyner Pond, we focus on selling individual cuts to give you the flexibility to order exactly what you want. Whether you’re looking for steaks, ground beef, or specific roasts, our approach ensures you only get the cuts you enjoy, with free delivery directly to your home. Many of our customers place smaller, regular orders—often every other week—so they always have fresh meat on hand without the need for a large freezer.

More Economical and Less Risk

Purchasing smaller quantities as you need them can be more economical than committing to a bulk order. It allows you to manage your budget without the need to invest in a large amount of meat all at once. Smaller, frequent deliveries also reduce the risk of waste—no more losing track of cuts buried deep in the freezer for years, only to be discarded later. Plus, in the event of a power outage, there’s no fear of losing a significant amount of meat.

Making Sustainable, Healthy Food More Accessible

One of our core goals at Tyner Pond is to make sustainable, healthy food accessible to as many people as possible. Focusing solely on bulk beef would mean catering to a smaller group—those with the financial means and space to store large quantities of meat. By offering smaller orders with free delivery, we ensure that anyone, regardless of their budget or storage capacity, can enjoy our locally-raised, nutrient-dense meats.

Freshness at Your Fingertips

Our meat lasts weeks in the refrigerator, so it’s always fresh and ready when you need it. And when it’s time for more, reordering is just a click away. We believe in making the best quality food as accessible and convenient as possible without requiring our customers to commit to bulk purchases. At Tyner Pond Farm, we’re proud to offer a more flexible, sustainable way to enjoy local, grass-fed meat that works for everyone.
