How it works

Buying lamb from us is simple

There are two ways to buy: reserve a whole lamb for the freezer, or request individual cuts as you need them. Here's exactly what to expect with each.

Reserving a whole lamb

  1. Send a reservation request. Use the form or give us a call. Tell us how many lambs you'd like and how you'd prefer to pick up. This is a request, not a purchase.
  2. We confirm your spot. Processing is seasonal and each cycle has a limited number of animals, so we check availability and get back to you, usually within a day or two.
  3. Pay the $100 deposit. We'll send our Venmo; cash, check or Zelle work too. Your reservation is confirmed once the deposit is in hand, and it counts toward your total. (Refund/transfer terms to be confirmed.)
  4. Choose your cuts. We send the standard cut sheet. Most people use it as-is; minor changes like chop thickness, whole vs. half legs, or more ground are welcome.
  5. Processing. Your lamb goes to the USDA-inspected processor with the batch. We let you know the pickup window.
  6. Pick up and pay the balance. $600 by Venmo, cash or check when we meet. Bring a cooler; everything is frozen and vacuum-sealed.

Requesting individual cuts

  1. Browse the cuts. The catalog shows what's on hand, priced per pound, with an estimated price per package.
  2. Send a request. Pick a cut and how many packages; the form is pre-filled for you. Add anything else you'd like in the message.
  3. We confirm. We weigh the actual packages, confirm your exact total, and set up farm pickup, a market meetup, or local delivery.
  4. Pay when we meet. Venmo is easiest; cash or check are fine. No deposit, no online payment.

Why "estimated"?

Lamb is sold by the pound, and a leg roast doesn't come out of the processor at exactly 3.0 lb. We show you the typical range up front so there are no surprises, and we confirm the exact number before you pay.

How to pay

We keep it simple: Venmo when we meet, or cash, check or Zelle if you prefer. We don't take payments on the website, and skipping card fees is part of how we keep prices where they are. We send Venmo details when we confirm your request or reservation.

Never send a deposit to anyone who hasn't confirmed with you directly from dave@bethlehem-farms.com or 479-256-4283.
