What is a Meat Share CSA in Maryland?
Welcome to Genuine Food Company, where we believe in the power of community and fresh, ethically-sourced meats. A Meat Share CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) in Maryland is a subscription program that provides members with regular shares of locally-sourced meats like beef, pork, and lamb. This model not only ensures a steady supply of premium meats but also supports local farmers and strengthens our community bonds. By joining our CSA, you’re not just getting meat; you’re investing in quality, sustainability, and a vibrant local economy.

Understanding the Meat Share CSA Concept
How Meat Shares Work
When you join our CSA, you become part of a partnership that connects you directly with local farms. Here’s how it works:
- Purchase a Share: Choose the share size that fits your household:
- Full Shares: Ideal for larger families, offering a generous 19-21 lbs of assorted meats.
- Half Shares: Perfect for smaller households, providing 9-11 lbs of delicious meats.
- Select Your Packages: Decide on the type of meats you prefer:
- Beef: Enjoy cuts like steaks, roasts, and ground beef. Learn more about our Grass-Fed Beef.
- Pork: Savor options like pork chops, sausages, and bacon.
- Combination: Get the best of both worlds with a mix of beef and pork.
By subscribing to our CSA, you’re not just buying meat; you’re becoming part of a community that values quality and sustainability. For more details on how our program works, check out our Community Supported Agriculture Agreement.
