Buying meat direct from a farmer has become easier in recent times. Over the last couple of years, there has been a big shift to moving traditional businesses online. One industry to benefit is the direct farmer to consumer, providing the farmgate to plate experience.
If you want to buy half a cow, or any meat directly from a farmer, it’s easy – once you find them. The difficulty lies in finding the right local farmer or butcher that has the products you want and is either located near you, or delivers to you. This post will list local farmers that you can purchase meat directly from in Alabama.
If you want to:
- Buy bulk meat in Alabama

- Support your local farmers
- Allocate some (or all) of your meat purchases away from the major grocery stores
Then let’s dive in!
Buy Half a Cow: Alabama
TRINITY FARMS
Trinity Farms began in Hope Hull, Alabama which is in north Alabama about 10 miles from the Tennessee state line and about 10 miles from Huntsville. The farm began in 1989 as a 4-H project raising hogs and stocker calves. It has since grown into a full cattle operation where we raise Angus mama cows and finished calves.
Here at Trinity Farms, our mission is to provide an excellent, healthy product that exceeds customer expectations. From our family to yours, we work hard to raise premium cattle and hogs that will ensure quality results and nutritious meals for your home.

BLUEWATER CREEK FARM
Bluewater Creek Farm was founded in 2013 by Liz & Collins Davis and Liz’s parents, Doug & Donna Woodford.
We provide 100% Grass-Fed & Finished Beef to our community.
Our mission is to produce nutrient dense, clean food in a sustainable way. To us, this means using farming practices that work with nature. This in turn increases the nutritional value of the food produced, shows respect for the living beings in our care, and makes a positive impact on our local environment.

HERITAGE HILLS FARMSTEAD
Karl, Karli, Klaire, & Kate Amonite here – we have taken pride and complete ownership in what we believe in here at Heritage Hills Farmstead from DAY ONE. What started out as raising 50 meat birds to stock our own personal freezer, has now turned in to our family operation that is expanding each day.
It is our top priority to nourish our bodies with the most beneficial meats raised the way they once were – the way they should still be, but unfortunately, are NOT.
Instead of purchasing the so called “organic” labeled meat from the store, we are choosing to raise our own and doing it our way. This is what we are passionate about – this is what we want to share with you.

BUY: Sides of beef, pork. Chicken, turkey. Bulk boxes
