Side of Beef
Update We have some samples from our local provider of beef but unfortunately some of the local farms are sold out. We were interested in gathering enough people to order our own beef and pork to be raised by the local farmers.

Would any of our customer be interested in a portion of a side of beef from a local farm? We have access to grass fed beef in bulk we would have to pre-sell enough in order to consider getting the order. Would you be interested in more beef? What cuts? Please email any of your feedback so we may compile a list and research more Thanks! Suncoastcoop@gmail.com

In Search of Website assistance
We would like to update our website to have more information about our co-op, a place for the members to talk as well as our grower converse, and more information about what our mission is about.
