MeatSuite is a website designed to help consumers find locally produced, high quality meats to purchase in bulk. Search by zip code to find farms near you.

The website was created by Cornell Cooperative Extension Agriculture Educators in 2013 with the intention of increasing “freezer trade” (the sale of whole, halves, quarters of animals and bulk bundles of meat). It provides a platform the consumer can use to find a farm that fits his or her needs and preferences when sourcing locally raised meats. Farms may be searched by neighborhood or by species across our region. Consumers will learn how each farm raises their livestock and about their farming practices, enabling consumers to choose the meats that meet their family’s wants and needs and, ultimately to Find Your Farmer!
