Are you looking for a more economical way to feed your family healthy, delicious, and responsibly raised meat? Our Quarter Beef offer an incredible opportunity to enjoy a diverse selection of premium cuts, straight from our regenerative farm in Appomattox, VA, right to your freezer.

When you buy a quarter beef, you get:

Exceptional Value: At just $6/lb (based on carcass weight), it’s the most cost-effective way to get high-quality, grass-fed beef directly from the farm.

A Full Freezer of Flavor: Typically providing 60-90 lbs of delicious meat, a quarter beef can feed a family of four for 4-6 months, reducing your trips to the grocery store.

Diverse Cuts: Experience the best of the whole animal! Your quarter includes a variety of steaks, roasts, ground beef, and more – perfect for every meal.

Uncompromising Quality: Our beef is 100% pasture-raised, chemical-free, and processed by a Virginia State-inspected facility. You'll taste the difference that humane, regenerative farming makes.

Support Local & Sustainable: By choosing Purple Mockingbird Farm, you're investing in responsible land stewardship, improved environmental health, and a local family farm dedicated to "food the way nature made it."

Our Low-Stress Field Harvest: We believe that a high-quality product starts with a stress-free environment, which is why we utilize field harvesting. Instead of loading animals onto a trailer for a stressful trip to a facility, the butcher comes to our farm to perform the harvest right here in the pasture where the cattle are comfortable. This "one bad second" approach eliminates transport stress and the surge of adrenaline that can negatively affect meat tenderness and flavor. Once harvested in the field, the animal is transported to the abattoir for professional aging and processing.

Know Your Food: We're transparent about our practices, ensuring you know exactly where your food comes from and how it's raised.

While exact quantities vary, a typical quarter beef share offers a fantastic mix, perfect for any kitchen. You can expect:

Steaks: Ribeye, Sirloin, New York Strip, Flat Iron, Flank, Skirt

Roasts: Chuck Roast, Rump Roast, Arm Roast

Ground Beef: Generous quantities, perfect for countless meals
