Summer Meat Bucks
Committed to amazing local eating: farm-raised meats and poultry that are more nutritious, better tasting and raised in a humane, conscientious manner. Considering a CSA, but want the freedom to select your type(s) of protein and cuts? Introducing the Stillman’s Summer Meat Bucks program, a unique, 100% customizable CSA option for farm members to purchase our local meats and poultry.
What are Summer Meat Bucks?
Stillman’s Summer Meat Bucks is a unique customizable CSA program for share members. Available in four different levels, the program allows members seeking great tasting, nutritious, humanely-raised local meat and poultry products to purchase direct from our farm in a manner that meets the personal needs and eating habits of the individual. In exchange our farm benefits by receiving much needed capitol to maintain a positive cash flow used towards raising, keeping and processing our animals. Memberships in our Summer Meat Bucks program work in conjunction with the farm’s summer farmers’ market season, starting in May/June and continue through the end of the summer market season (October/November). Share members receive Summer Meat Bucks (SMB) that can be used like cash to be spent on any of our meat or poultry products- including eggs at our participating farmers’ market locations. Meat Bucks can be spent at any point throughout the current season and must be used within the same season.
