Our Vision
Find Your Plan

“Eat Food. Not Too Much. Mostly Plants.”

Michael Pollan, The Omnivore’s Dilemma

We believe that eating less meat– and eating high-quality, pasture-raised meat– is better for the earth, animal welfare, farmers, and consumers.

Three Steps to Help You Determine if Our Meat Membership is Right for You 

1.) Check out the pictures of the sample shares on our membership page to get a sense of what the average volume looks like with each share size. Bear in mind that you get to put your own order together, so the volume of your order may be smaller with cuts like Filet mignon, or larger with a Picnic roast or broth bones.

2.) Check out the meat tabs on our website. We have images and descriptions of most items that we keep in stock with a price per pound and estimated price for package for each item. Check the tabs on the home page banner. Note: Our prices are comparable to what you might find at a reputable local farmer’s market that features pasture-raised meat. They are also subject to change.

3.) Try it! Receive a free dozen eggs with your first delivery. Sign up for a Monthly payment at first, and increase your commitment with a Quarterly or Yearly payment plan when you’re comfortable with the system.

If you would like to stall or cancel your subscription at the end of a payment cycle, send us an email at edensmeats@gmail.com and we will take care of it for you.

We will consider cancellation requests in the middle of a payment cycle, but in general we ask for members to continue with the payment plan they signed up for. We have tried to incentivize a longer term commitment with discounted rates for Yearly, Quarterly, and Monthly payment plans because this helps us with cash-flow and planning.

Yes! You are welcome to order as much as you want each time as long as the total order is at least $50.

Any overages will be invoiced through our online store (using Square) where they can be easily paid with a credit card.

Short answer, yes.    

There are three options: 

  1. We can try to match you up with a buddy–someone you see regularly, or another member who lives close to you inside of the free delivery zone.
  2. We will deliver to your home for a $10 fee
  3. You can pick up at our farm in Cedar Grove for free.
