Soggy Bottom Farm is a 34-acre farm in Yellow Point that raises free-ranging, grass-fed, hormone-free Hereford cattle. The cattle have free range of the farm. During the winter, their grazing land is supplemented by high-quality local hay. During the summer, the farmers hand-feed apples to the cattle! Soggy Bottom Farm cares deeply for its animals. The animals do not receive growth hormones or feed that contains chemicals of any kind. Although Soggy Bottom Farm did not pursue certified organic status, it considers itself to be as natural as possible.
Please note that our cattle are grass-fed. For optimal taste, this requires a specific type of cooking and has a different taste from grain-fed animals.
We can personally recommend the use of a sous vide, but recommend you do further research.
Ordering Beef
We take orders for "sides" (1/2 of 1/4 of an animal) on a first-come, first-served basis, and we always sell out. We plan our beef to be processed in October of each year, so we recommend you request an order before summer of the year in question.
Due to increased prices of fertilizer, hay and processing, we currently do not have pricing available. Please contact us for details.
If you purchase a side (1/2 animal), the hanging weight of a side is approximately 250lbs.
If you purchase a 1/4, the hanging weight of a 1/4 side is approximately 125lbs.
There is a difference between front and hind cuts, so whenever you purchase a side you will receive a mix of front and hind cuts, as will whomever purchases the remaining side(s). This ensures all customers receive a balanced order.

Wait, what? No beef by the piece?
You may have noticed that we no longer have a price chart for specific cuts of beef (ie. T-bone steak). Our beef has been exceptionally popular and sells out completely, leaving no individual cuts available. Sorry for any disappointment this may cause.
