Michigan and Ohio
Amish beef, delivered to your freezer.
Beef raised by Amish families in Michigan and Ohio, cut and packaged at a USDA-inspected plant, and sold by the share. The first harvest is being scheduled now.
Whole, half and quarter shares. 50 lb and 25 lb boxes, shipped free.
Most beef in the store was raised by nobody you could name, in a place you will never see.
The Amish families who raise beef the old way sell it from a shed at the end of a gravel road. Unless you live nearby, you never get any.
Your freezer stays full of whatever the grocery store had that week.
What you get
Beef you can stand behind, in a size that fits your freezer.
Raised the old way
By Amish families on pasture, grass-raised and grain-finished, no added hormones, no antibiotics.
Cut under USDA inspection
Every animal goes to a USDA-inspected plant, so the beef can be sold by the cut and shipped across state lines.
A fixed weight, a fixed price
A half is 200 lb. A quarter is 100 lb. You know what you are getting and what it costs before you reserve.
Picked up or delivered
Pick up your share in mid-Michigan, or have it shipped. The boxes ship free, frozen, anywhere in our region.
Who we are
A Michigan cattleman and the Amish families he buys from.
We know what it is to want beef from a farm you trust and have no way to get it. Great Lakes Amish Meats is run by a Michigan cattleman who works with the Amish families directly, and a team that has helped family farms sell beef by the share for years.
Every farm signs our standard before its beef carries our name. We do not say anything about the beef that the farm has not put in writing.
How it works
Three steps from here to a full freezer.
Reserve
Pick a size. A whole, half or quarter is reserved with 35% down. A box is paid in full and ships from stock.
We harvest and cut
The animal goes to a USDA-inspected plant and comes back cut, wrapped, frozen and labeled.
Pick up or we ship
Collect your share in mid-Michigan, or we ship it. Boxes arrive frozen with gel packs, shipping included.

American families want beef they can trust: raised the old way, with nothing in it that should not be there. Amish families across Michigan and Ohio already raise it, but most people can only find it by driving to an Amish store. We give those farms one trusted brand and one place to order, so a family in Detroit or Columbus can put real Amish beef in the freezer without the drive. The farms get a fair price for every animal. You get beef with a name on it.
