Join a CSA.

Farm Burger is proud to introduce you to the Moonshine Meats CSA.

When you sign up for the Moonshine Meats CSA, you’ll get a generous share of our signature meats each month. Our animals are 100% pasture-raised and grazed throughout the great state of Georgia. They live happy and healthy lives under the sun, enjoying a veritable salad bar of southeastern grasses and legumes.  The intensive management and ethical care required to balance both herd and farm health results in a product unmatched in nutritional value, cleanliness, and succulent, mouthwatering flavor.
 
Our beef…
We are dedicated to providing top quality beef to you at below market prices. All of our beef is 100% grass fed, antibiotic free, and treated with love, respect and dignity from calving to slaughter. We minimize transportation to keep our cattle stress-free. All beef is slaughtered in a state certified facility, aged for a minimum of 14 days, craft butchered, cryovaced, flash frozen, and labeled.
 
Our pork…
Our pasture-raised hogs are truly the gem in our comestible crown. We raise heritage breeds (Tamworth and Berkshire), closer in nature to their ancient, forest-dwelling predecessors and showing natural resilience, grazing aptitude and incredible flavor profiles. Our hogs spend their lives in close family units, foraging and frolicking in our range of diverse woodlands and pastures. The quality of life translates directly into the quality of our meat. The eye-opening flavor of our prized pork will be a memorable meal for you and the lucky few with who you share it.

*Moonshine Meats wants you to know that we encourage share splitting. Don’t think you can handle a whole share? Get your friends, neighbors and family members to chip in and share the wealth.

Because we never stop giving…
Along with your share you will receive a monthly newsletter telling you the who’s who and what’s what behind your meat, and filling you in on the goings-on around the Moonshine Meats and Full Moon Farms family. You’ll also receive recipes and tips on how to best enjoy your selections.
 
And because we believe education is an integral part of our work, this year  your share comes with the incredible opportunity to have a bonafide culinary class with one of the talented faces behind Farm 255 and Farm Burger. During the season we will offer you the opportunity to learn just how to use that hog trotter, tongue or whatever unusual cut of animal came with your share this week. Become a better and more knowledgeable home chef. Learn to butcher at home. Find out what charcuterie is and how to share in its timeless pleasure.
 
We will be offering three different classes throughout the CSA season/year. One class is included with the cost of your share. If you would like to sign up for a second class, cost will be an additional $20. Or sign up for all three classes for only $35
 
And because we love nothing more than to offer you more, we are proud to announce that our highly sought after pastured poultry is back and will be made available to Moonshine Meats CSA members first. Reserve your chickens now. They will be clucking your way in May. Claim your spot by contacting Darla at darla@moonshinemeats.com or 215.356.5740.

Who is Moonshine Meats?

Moonshine Meats is an integrated community of pasture-based meat producers, working to develop both local markets and livelihoods by offering the finest quality products possible. Moonshine’s mission is to support producers and consumers from pasture to plate by promoting and distributing ethically-raised meats. Moonshine is a different kind of meat purveyor. We pride ourselves in setting a standard for the farmer/butcher/chef/eater relationship ....or rather reviving a lost standard, and a forgotten art.. Whether you are a producer, a chef, a restaurateur, or just plain eater, we work with you to create an individual program that caters to your exact needs. Moonshine is just meat the way meat should be.

Our farmers provide the various meat options you find everyday at Farm Burger and Farm 255, its sister restaurant in Athens. Everytime you bite into a juicy Farm Burger you are enjoying a little bit of Moonshine.
 
Moonshine Meats CSA Program is our way of serving families and individuals, delivering our meats directly from the field to your table. We offer a number of different options to allow you the flexibility to choose how you experience our meat.

The way it works…
This year Moonshine Meats has partnered with “Farmigo,” a program dedicated to helping farmers and consumers interface more efficiently. It will provide you with a streamlined way to sign-up, manage your subscriptions and communicate with us. There’s also a simple process for ordering additional items such as that whole pork loin you’ll need for your party this weekend. In turn, we will be able to communicate more directly with you to ensure you are getting the best customer service possible.
 
1.     Email Darla at darla@moonshinemeats.com and let us know you want your meat. We’ll send you a link to sign-up.
2.     Once you sign-up, choose your shares.
3.     Pick your method of payment (cash, check, credit card, PayPal or a bank transfer) and decide if you want to pay in advance for 1 month, 3 months, 6 months or a full-year worth of your selected shares.
4.     Pick-up your shares at Farm 255 in Athens on a designated Friday or at Farm Burger in Decatur on a designated Saturday once a month starting in April.
5.     At any time, log onto the site and order additional products to pick up at your designated location along with your regular share.
6.     Enjoy sustainably-raised and locally-produced meats all season long.

Thank you,
 
The Moonshine Meats and Full Moon Farms family is looking forward to many prosperous seasons together.
