CSA – Custom item Membership

Description

As a Custom items member, based on our contract to produce offering, we will allocate and reserve a designated production of a specific farming or ranching operation for each Custom items member. We expect to allocate 30% of the total production as designated production of the farm to fulfillment for Custom items members. For example, we are able to offer whole calf, 1/2 calf “side”, 1/4 calf “front quarter” or “hind quarter” directly to limited items members while the animal is living. This method of selling beef is afforded an USDA exemption called “Custom Exempt”. For these limited items members will take ownership of the animal and will then provide the direction “cut sheet” for how the animal is to be processed and delivered. All Custom Exempt yield is restricted from further or subsequent sale and must be delivered to and consumed by the Custom items member owner or co-owner of the animal. multiple Custom items members may co-own the same animal subject to USDA restrictions.
