If you are searching for Vermont grass fed beef delivery, you probably want three things at once: cattle that actually lived on grass, a clear price, and beef that shows up frozen and ready for the freezer. One honest note before the details: our cattle are pasture-raised on a forage-first diet. That is not the same as a 100 percent grass-fed label, and we would rather tell you exactly what it means than borrow a claim. This guide explains how delivery freezer beef works in Vermont, what to check before you order, and how Vermont Natural Beef handles boxes, quarters, and sides from the lower Champlain Valley.
What pasture-raised and forage-first mean here
Our herd is on pasture through the grazing season, rotated paddock to paddock so grass can recover, and most of each animal's daily nutrition comes from forage: pasture, hay, and baleage. No hormones. No antibiotics. No confinement finishing. We do not label our beef grass-fed, because that term has a specific meaning and we would rather be precise than impressive.
"Grass-fed" at a supermarket case can still mean ground beef blended from many animals. If origin and grind integrity matter, ask how grinding is handled.

Quarter of beef
$7.55 / lb hanging · $1,494 fixed on the typical animal we price to. Same single-animal standard, smaller freezer. Often split between two households.
Side of beef
$7.35 / lb hanging · $2,910 fixed. Roughly a small chest freezer (about 8 cubic feet packed). Full cut sheet control.
Bulk reservations hold your place for the season with nothing due today. You pick the delivery month. If hanging weight runs under the typical animal, we credit the difference.
Freezer math vs the meat counter
Buying the same pack-out cut-by-cut at typical Vermont grass-fed retail (strips around $22/lb, ribeyes $24, roasts $12, ground $9) can push a side past $4,300. A farm side at the fixed hanging price lands at $2,910. Many households keep about $1,400.
Single-animal ground
We clean the grinder between every side. Your ground is not a blend of a dozen animals.
How delivery works
- Order a box online or reserve a quarter or side.
- For bulk, complete the cut sheet with us before processing.
- Beef hangs at least seven days, then is cut, vacuum sealed, and frozen.
- Delivery to your door in our region, or pickup.
Replace-or-credit if a cut is not right.
