In other states, I would start by googling your state’s beef council, but you can also google “freezer beef near me” or “buy a side of beef in your state .” I recommend calling a few different farmers to compare prices and make sure you’re getting exactly what you want. Most farmers are very happy to talk about their process with you.
Then, how to buy a side of beef?
