How much does a share cost?

To purchase a share, you will pay a deposit to reserve your share ranging from $100-$250. This is not the total price of a share. After we put your share together, we will calculate the total price of your share. Beef shares cost $13.80/pound. Pork shares cost $12/pound. We will deduct the deposit that you paid to reserve your share from the total of your share before charging you the balance.

When can I expect my share to be delivered or ready for pickup?

We have a limited number of shares available throughout the year. When you purchase a share, you can estimate that your share will be ready for pickup or delivery the next month unless a different date is specified. Want to guarantee that you get a share but don’t have the freezer space yet? Reach out to us at sales@aldenhills.com and we are happy to reserve a share for a later month.
