How It Works and More
We are an online co-op style gathering where people order food and meat direct from producers in bulk for local pickup or delivery.
How it works
Who should buy through Food and Meat Co-op?
We could be the perfect solution for you if.....
1. You are trying to reduce your grocery bill
2. You are picky about what types of quality and where your food comes from
3. You want to get closer to your food sources and be a part of a food project locally
This sounds too good - what is the catch?
We are a co-op, not a traditional grocery store or club store. So we do things differently for a reason - to save money, be picky and get closer to our food sources.
To accomplish this as a community, there is a "catch" if you are willing!
1. You are willing to buy in bulk between 10-40lb boxes without fancy retail packaging. Most products are in 10lb boxes. This also provides convenience and food security and BIG savings.
2. You are willing to pickup your food at a local pickup event (happens about every 6 weeks in an area).
3. You are willing to put in just a little bit more work in repacking some foods how you want. When you buy in bulk, there is a little bit of prep work need for some foods.

Local Grassfed Beef
Golden Hour Farm - Hyrum, UT
After living 8 years in Europe while Spencer played professional basketball, we were ready to slow down and live the simple life. Chelsey has always had a passion for animals and admires the "self sustaining" lifestyle. Once Spencer met his Highland Cattle he couldn't get land fast enough. Since acquiring our land and adding 2 kids to the bunch, we have been fully devoted to making Golden Hour Farm a fully operational, self sustaining, and beautiful farm. We hope our love, passion, and authentic lifestyle gets passed down through our livestock to our customers. Whether we serve 1 or 1 million people, we are honored to be part of the farming community. We believe there is no better place to raise a family than right here on our farm, Golden Hour Farm.
Local American Wagyu Beef
Bennion Beef - Vernon, UT
In 1997, Alan and Elizabeth left the rat race and took over the family ranch which included living off-grid and 6 miles off the pavement at the foot of Greenjacket Hill near Vernon, Utah. Determined to restore the ranch, the family remodeled the house, rebuilt fences, plowed, planted, irrigated, bred, and calved-out cattle. They improved range for wildlife, especially the western Sage Grouse and were once named Ranchers of the Year by the Society for Range Management. Read more Here.
Local Raw Unfiltered Honey
Rocky Mountain Honey, Blackfoot, ID

It was later bought by current owner David Dance in February 2015 where it then became Rocky Mountain Honey in 2017 and relocated in a new location in Idaho Falls, Idaho.
