Find your farmer!

Fill your freezer!

Meatsuite.com is a free online tool to help you easily find locally produced, affordable, delicious meats in bulk. Use MeatSuite to find farmers across New York State, and connect with your farmer to purchase the full suite of great local meats.

Why Buy Meat in Bulk?

Save Money
Because bulk local meat offers a low price-per-pound on desirable cuts, you can expect significant savings over meat sold by the piece.

Support Local Farms
Buying whole, half, or quarter animals is efficient and profitable for the farm, and your purchase supports the local economy.

Taste the Difference
Locally raised meats are delicious and flavorful, and you'll have the chance to try new cuts and recipes.

Farmers Can Join MeatSuite For Free!
MeatSuite.com is a free resource provided by Cornell University where NY meat farmers can create a farm profile and list their bulk (wholes, halves, quarters) and bundled (i.e. Grilling Bundle) meat products.

Why should farmers join?

1. It's free and easy!
2. Connect with more local customers. In the past year the MeatSuite.com farm directory had 8,300 visits from New York consumers. Farm profiles get as many as 25 views per month from potential local customers. We also spotlight MeatSuite farms on social media and bring attention and purchases to farms through highlights and giveaways.

How do I join?

Farmers can visit https://www.meatsuite.com/farmers/ to create a free farm profile. You must list at least one product for your farm's profile to go live. You'll also have access to Cornell's free Meat Price Calculator, a helpful tool for pricing your meat to make a profit.

While you're on MeatSuite, check out the "Creating Consumer-Friendly Bulk Meats" publication on the log-in page. It has tips on how to create bulk meat products that are easier for first-time buyers to say "yes" to.

If you have any questions as you create your farm profile or products, we're here to help! Please email Matt LeRoux at mnl28@cornell.edu.
