How does your donation help?
-
✽
We buy direct from farms here in Michigan. All of our products are keeping your dollars flowing through Michigan family farms.
-
✽
We pay our farmers full price for their products. Every donation you make is not only helping feed families in need, but helping support our farmers as well and allowing them to continue to do what they do best!
-
✽
Buying direct from the farm, we are able to get the meats at a cheaper price so we can fill more boxes for more families in need and support our local Michigan based butchers as well. Every step is helping small Michigan businesses.
-
✽
Once we receive the meat back from the butcher we inventory the cuts and put together 8-10lb boxes consisting of a variety of cuts and meats to ensure the people in need are getting quality, nutrient dense protiens.
-
✽
We work with local churches to identify the people in need of our boxes and distribute the bundles to those in need. Every month we ship out boxes of fresh, local, nutrient dense meats to those in our community.
-
✽
We believe community requires us ALL to participate. Whether it is 1 or 100 dollars every donation counts. When the whole community supports, we are able to move in massive ways.

FAQs
-
We pay the farmers their full price. We buy whole animals from the farmer and pay them based on the hanging weight then bring the processed meat back to our facilities to be packaged into bundles or be sent out to customers who order ¼ ½ or whole animals.
-
That depends on a number of factors - depending on how many bundle subscriptions we sell, how many donations we receive each month, and how many ¼ ½ or whole animals we sell. Our profits from the bundles and bulk orders help us build more bundles for those in need.
-
We work with local churches to determine who is in need of the bundle boxes. We just tell the church how many bundles we have available that month and they determine who they are given out to.

No. This whole business started as an accident. We started by giving away a few extra Thanksgiving Turkeys from our farm and some people reached out asking if they could donate monthly so we could give meat away monthly. Thinking this was a good idea I reached out to see how many people would be interested figuring we could help 2-3 families each month and was blown away by how many people responded. We decided to open a separate business from our farm to ensure that all the money stays separate from our farm and is used to help make bundles for those in need. I talked with a tax consultant and he shared that due to new tax codes and the time it would take to set up a non-profit, it would be more beneficial to just open another business so we could get to helping people sooner than later. Our goal is to help as many people as we can, we would love to have you join us in this journey!
