Online Directory for Local Meat

Do you sell meat raised on your farm in bulk quantities (quarters, halves, and wholes)? Consider creating a FREE account on MeatSuite, an online directory where consumers can connect with livestock producers. After you create your profile, a site administrator must approve the profile. We believe in truth in advertising so avoid any false label claims, or bashing other producers. Access the site at meatsuite.com. View simple instructions for creating your profile here.

There is also a new online tool to help you calculate the cost of carcass-to-retail yield for your animals called the "Cornell Meat Price and Yield Calculator". Visit calculator.meatsuite.com to access this free tool.

Learn more about both web tools here.

There will be an on-line webinar held via Zoom on Tuesday, January 14 at 6 p.m. Register for the training here. Please contact April Bowman, at 336-703-2855 or awbowman@ncsu.edu with questions or for help with these tools or Zoom. If there is a need, producers may access the Zoom training at the Forsyth County Agricultural Building.
