If you've never bought meat directly from a farm before, you may not even know what you don't know.

This free guide walks you through 10 things to consider before you order, so you can ask better questions and feel confident about what you're buying.


  • KNOW YOUR FARMER

    Learn what to ask about where the animals were born and raised—and who has cared for them along the way.


  • UNDERSTAND HOW THEY'RE RAISED

    Know what questions to ask about feed, animal care, antibiotics and added growth hormones.

  • KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT

    Learn what to ask about packaging, pickup or shipping, and how your meat will arrive.
