Before you pay a deposit: confirm price, price basis (hanging vs. take-home weight), deposit refund terms, processor and pickup date directly with the farm. Ask whether your share is processed custom-exempt (household use only, marked "Not for Sale") or USDA-inspected. Pennsylvania doesn't run its own meat inspection program. Beef sold by the cut in Pennsylvania must come from a USDA-inspected plant. Beef Share Finder is a directory and isn't part of your purchase. Terms
