Terms of use

Who we are

Pasture Direct connects people who want to buy meat by the share (a quarter, half or whole animal) with farms near them. These terms cover your use of this website.

What the site does today

Right now the site collects a waiting list of buyers and sign-ups from farmers. Nothing is sold through the site yet. Joining the list is free and doesn’t commit you to buy anything.

The waiting list

• Joining the list doesn’t reserve meat for you or promise that a farm will come to your area, or when.
• Prices, weights, freezer space and butcher costs on the site are estimates. When a farm lists an animal, its own price and terms apply, and you’ll see them before you pay anything.
• Sign up only yourself, with your own email and phone number.

Farmers

Signing up your farm doesn’t list anything or create an agreement between us. Before anything is sold, we’ll agree on seller terms with you separately. You stay responsible for your animals and for following the rules that apply to raising, processing and selling them.

Emails and texts

We email you about your place on the list and about farms near you. Every email has a link to take you off the list. We only text you if you ask us to, and you can reply STOP to any text to stop them.

Using the site fairly

Please don’t send fake sign-ups, sign up other people without asking them, try to break into or overload the site, or copy large parts of it. We may remove sign-ups that look fake.

Photos and words

No guarantees

We work to keep the site accurate and running, but it’s provided as it is, without promises that it will always be available or free of mistakes. As far as the law allows, we aren’t responsible for losses that come from using it.

Changes

We may update these terms as the site grows, for example when buying through the site begins. The date at the top shows the latest version.
