A useful option for shoppers willing to plan ahead
When you are buying from outside your immediate neighborhood, ordering clarity matters as much as a good photograph. Start with the actual products, package details and fulfillment choices. A farm visit should end with the cuts you planned to collect, not a guess about what is still available.
This guide is for Blacksburg and New River Valley households considering a Troutville pickup. It does not establish a Blacksburg storefront, farmers-market stall or delivery route. If you need home delivery, check address eligibility before investing time in a larger order.
Choose individual cuts when you want control over the mix. Ask about a larger order only after checking storage space, cooking habits and the terms the farm can offer. A thoughtfully chosen smaller order can be more useful than a large purchase filled with cuts you rarely cook.
Build a freezer selection around three cooking methods
Skirt steak for sliced-beef meals
A cut to consider for fajitas or a sliced-steak dinner. Read the listing, choose a cut-specific recipe and plan portions around the package you buy.

Chuck roast for batch cooking
Useful when you want a slower meal and leftovers. Choose a package you can store comfortably and cook when your schedule allows.

Plan the size of your order before you fill the cart
Start with the number of beef meals you expect to cook before your next order. Write down the raw amount your recipes use, then compare that list with available packages. This connects the purchase to actual meals and avoids using a freezer-share estimate that may not fit your household.
| Planning question | Why it matters | Your next step |
|---|---|---|
| What do we already cook? | Familiar cuts are easier to use consistently | Choose staples before experimental cuts |
| How much freezer space is free? | A large order needs usable storage, not just nominal appliance capacity | Clear and measure the space before ordering |
| Who will cook the slower cuts? | Roasts and braising cuts need a place in the schedule | Assign a meal to each cut |
| Can we collect when it is ready? | Online packing follows the farm's weekly schedule | Wait for confirmation and coordinate pickup |
If several people share the household shopping, agree on the cut mix first. One person wanting steaks and another wanting inexpensive meal staples can build very different carts. The steak collection and slow-cooking collection make that comparison easier.
Choose a freezer order you will actually cook
Browse current packages, make room at home and confirm your pickup plan. For a larger request, call before assuming a share is available.
Order online, then plan your pickup
Place your weekly order by Monday night. Choose farm pickup or the delivery option offered for your address at checkout. We pack orders mid-week and notify you when yours is ready for pickup or delivered.
The published local-delivery minimum is $50. Reaching that amount does not establish delivery coverage for a Blacksburg address. Check your actual checkout options before arranging your week, especially when ordering from farther away.
Farm pickup is at 457 Country Club Road, Troutville, VA 24175. Current store hours are 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday; closed Wednesday and Sunday. Wait for your ready notification before collecting an online order.
Read the current ordering instructions and get farm contact details. If a specific steak or roast is the reason for your trip, order it ahead or call (540) 240-9955 to check availability.
Prepare for the journey home
Bring suitable insulated storage and cold packs. Keep the collection part of the trip focused, then take the order home promptly. The farm's ordering page describes frozen, vacuum-sealed and labeled cuts; use the individual package instructions once you receive them.
At home, arrange the order so labels remain visible. Group steaks, ground beef and slower-cooking cuts separately, and keep a simple list of what you have. The point is to make the next meal easier, not to turn the freezer into a storage puzzle.
For a quarter, half or whole-beef inquiry, transport and storage become larger planning questions. Ask about the expected packaged quantity, collection location and timing before committing. The bulk beef planning guide separates those questions from normal retail checkout.
Know the farm behind your beef
Our cattle finish on grass. We rotate them through pasture and give the grazed ground time to recover. The laying hens follow the cattle, scratching through the grazed ground and spreading fertility as part of the same working farm.
Our published practices are specific: no feedlot, no growth promotants, no routine antibiotics and no pasture spraying. Read how we raise our animals for the full explanation.
For a shopper, the useful distinction is traceability. You can identify the farm, read its approach, choose an actual cut and ask the people selling it a direct question. Start with a familiar meal, then decide which products you want to keep in your regular rotation.
Questions before you order
Is Pure Grass Farm located in Blacksburg?
No. Our farm and store are in Troutville at 457 Country Club Road. This page helps Blacksburg shoppers plan a purchase from that location. Use the Troutville address for pickup and contact the farm if you need to resolve an order question before traveling.
Do you have a Blacksburg market pickup point?
This guide does not advertise a Blacksburg market stall or pickup point. The confirmed farm pickup location is in Troutville. Review the fulfillment choices for your order at checkout, and ask the farm directly about any alternative arrangement before relying on it.
Is delivery to Blacksburg available?
Delivery has to be confirmed for the actual address at checkout. A general local-delivery option on the website does not establish service to every Blacksburg address. If no delivery option is offered, consider farm pickup or contact the store before placing an order that depends on delivery.
Can I choose my own mix of beef cuts?
Individual retail product listings let you build a cart from the cuts currently offered. Choose the package and quantity for each item. This is different from a whole-animal share, whose cut mix and cutting instructions need a separate discussion with the farm.
Which cuts suit a small freezer?
Begin with the available packages your recipes will use, such as ground beef and a few steaks, instead of committing to a share based on its name. Check package sizes and your actual space. There is no universal order size that fits every small freezer.
How do I plan an order for a shared household?
Agree on the number of meals, preferred cuts and available storage before checking out. Decide who will cook the slower cuts as well as the quick meals. Choose package quantities from the product pages, and keep a list so everyone knows what is available after pickup.
Can I ask for a larger quantity than the website lists?
Yes, contact the farm about the quantity and timing you have in mind. Availability and processing schedules need confirmation. The online inventory and individual-cut prices do not by themselves establish the terms for a larger freezer order, quarter beef, half beef or whole beef.
When will my pickup order be ready?
The current process is to order by Monday night, with packing mid-week. The farm then notifies you when pickup is ready. That notification is the signal to plan collection. If your travel schedule is fixed, ask about timing before completing an order.
What should I bring for pickup?
Bring insulated storage and cold packs suitable for the amount of frozen meat you are collecting. Have your order information available and follow the farm's pickup instructions. Plan to take the order home promptly rather than leaving it in the vehicle during a long day of errands.
Is the beef frozen and labeled?
The current ordering page describes meat as frozen, vacuum-sealed and labeled. Read each product listing for any item-specific information and follow the instructions on the packages you receive. Keep the labels visible in your freezer so you can identify the cut when choosing a recipe.
How is grass finishing different from buying a local label?
Location tells you where the farm is; finishing describes how cattle are fed at the end of the raising period. Pure Grass Farm states that its cattle finish on grass without a feedlot. Read the farming-practices page for the specific approach rather than treating every local beef claim as identical.
Can I tour the farm during a normal pickup?
A retail pickup does not automatically reserve a guided farm tour. If seeing the operation is part of your visit, contact the farm first and ask what can be arranged. This helps you plan a visit around the farm's work and your own travel time.
