Cuts We Carry

Our producers sell beef by the cut, from everyday ground beef to cuts that are hard to find at a grocery store. What is in stock changes week to week, and the shop restocks when it opens Thursday. Here is the range you can expect.

Ground beef and patties

Ground beef by the pound and in tubes, pre-formed patties, and Farm 47's Ancestral Blend, which mixes ground beef with organ meat for a higher-nutrient burger. Ground bison is usually available alongside it.

Steaks

New York strip, ribeye, T-bone, porterhouse, filet, sirloin, tri tip, and whole picanha. Cube steak and minute steaks come in for quicker weeknight cooking, and cowboy steaks and coulotte show up seasonally.

Roasts

Chuck roast, shoulder roast, and sirloin tip roast in the two to three pound range, plus osso buco cut into cross-sections for braising. These are the cuts to look for if you cook in a slow cooker or Dutch oven.

Ribs

Beef ribs and short ribs, usually packed two to a pack at around two pounds. Short ribs sell out quickly once grilling season starts.

Organ meats

Sliced and whole beef liver, whole beef heart, ground heart, beef tongue, and ox tail. Organ meat is hard to find locally at a grocery store and our producers sell it regularly. There is also a beef liver jerky made as a dog treat.

Soup and stock bones

Beef soup bones and larger stock bone packs, sold by average weight for broth and bone stock. Ask for marrow bones if you are after a richer stock.

Brats, stew, and kabob meat

Beef brats from Farm 47, plus cubed stew meat, fajita meat, and kabob meat trimmed and ready to cook.

Bison

Rapid River raises bison alongside their cattle. Ground bison is the most consistent offering, with bison ribeye available in smaller quantities as the herd grows.

What Makes Our Local Beef Different

Is Raised by a Small-Scale Producer Within 100 Miles of Huntsville

Every beef producer in our marketplace raises cattle on farms in North Alabama or Southern Tennessee. You can ask them questions about their farming practices and know exactly where your food comes from.

USDA-Inspected Processing

All beef sold through the Huntsville Food Hub is processed at USDA-inspected facilities. This means every animal is inspected before and after processing, ensuring food safety standards that protect your family.

No Fillers, Hormones, or Mystery Ingredients

Our producers don't use added hormones, fillers, or dyes. What you get is beef — nothing else. Each product listing tells you exactly how the animal was raised.

Direct From Farmer to You

When you buy through the Hub, you are buying directly from farms. They set their prices which in some cases are lower than a comparative product in the grocery store. When you buy from local farms more money stays in our community.
