Signing up for Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is one of the best ways you can show up to support your local farmer. When you sign up for a CSA box, you pay upfront for a subscription to a local farm or ranch for the season. The farmer uses the funds to pay for production costs, and in return, you get a regular share of the harvest. 

While you may have heard of CSAs for vegetables, there are all kinds of CSAs available locally. We're now offering a CSA beef box that allows you to purchase a share of beef upfront at a discounted price, and get regular deliveries of grass-fed, grass-finished beef from Colvin Ranch.

With our CSA Beef Boxes, you'll get 4 boxes of meat (about 50 pounds of beef total), available for pickup in March, June, September, and December. Each box includes 4 pounds of ground beef, 4 steaks, 1 roast, and a few extras (rancher's choice), so you'll have an opportunity to try some new cuts. By paying upfront, you get our best prices and guaranteed delivery. 

The beef is vacuum sealed in USDA packaging, and flash frozen for freshness. Each box includes about 12 packages of meat - just enough to fit in your standard freezer. Pickups are available in Tenino, Tumwater, or Tacoma. Sign ups are available online year-round.

Colvin Ranch Day 2025

Come join us to celebrate the 20th anniversary of our NRCS conservation easement. We'll have live music, food, ranch tours, wildflower walks, and fun activities for kids.

Agriculture is more than just farmers

It takes a whole network of people, businesses, and infrastructure to get food from the field to your fork. Here's a snapshot of the agriculture-related people and businesses in our region who all contribute in some way to making it possible for us to sell the best grass-fed, grass-finished beef in our region.

Community Engagement in 2024

At Colvin Ranch, our mission is to take care of the land, animals, and people in our community. We accomplish this through conservation practices that enable us to produce healthy, high-quality meat for our community, while helping native plants and animals flourish alongside our livestock. In 2024, our focus was on community engagement. Here's a quick snapshot of what we accomplished with our small but mighty team.
