Have You Been Overwhelmed by Dinner?
It's 6 PM. You open your fridge and that familiar stress hits.
You want to cook healthy meals at home. You've heard about grass-fed beef, local farms, and meal planning.
But right now:
- Your brain is fried from making decisions all day
- Nothing's thawed or ready to cook
- You are missing ingredients for what you want to make
- Takeout is calling (again)
The worst part? Tomorrow at 6 PM, you'll do this all over again.
You're not alone.
And it doesn't have to be this way.
My Dinner Struggle
You'd think owning a farm with freezers full of delicious, homegrown grass-fed beef would make dinner decisions easier. But even I struggled.
After a long day of making business decisions, I'd stand in front of my freezer feeling overwhelmed, defeated, and guilty - not knowing what to cook.
Living out here, there's no takeout delivery, no food trucks brave my long driveway, and pickup is 20 minutes away.
I had to figure out how to make cooking at home easier.
So I did...

Here's What Changed Everything
When I really looked at it, I could see exactly what was going wrong:
I was so drained from all the decisions I'd made that day, my brain couldn't handle figuring out one more thing.
My freezer was full of frozen beef, but without a plan, nothing was thawed when I needed it.
Every day felt like starting over because I didn't have a system - just making it up as I went along.
Then it hit me - keep it simple:
- Bring the same 18 lbs mix of steaks, roasts, and ground beef to my freezer each month
- Create an easy rhythm: ground beef Tuesdays, steak Thursdays, slow cooker Sundays
- Thaw tomorrow's meat while cooking tonight's dinner
Just like that - no more staring at my freezer wondering "what's for dinner?"
Ready to take back your dinner time?
It's simple - sign up and you'll get 18 lbs of beef delivered right to your door:
- Steaks for quick weeknight meals
- Ground beef for easy dinners

from 57 reviewsmeaty rich and delicious... wonderful turkey eggs; they taste great like all of Shelly's other meats and eggs... my personal favorite though is these Turkey Eggs

This is the only beef I buy these days! I did not eat beef for years, until I discovered Oldtime Farm! I appreciate the way the way the beef is raised and that it is local.

We got the thickest cut of these steaks. They aren't Texas size, but just the right size. Marinated them, seasoned them and put them on the barbie. They came out great; the right consistency (not mushy 'melt.in.you.mouth') well textured, flavorful (tasted like beef, not just marinade and seasoning) and were devoured, because they were delicious. Full stop.

Got my order a couple weeks ago and I'm so happy with it. So far I've had steaks and ground beef. Everything tastes great and cooks really well. I'm looking forward to next month. Great quality as always.

Not much more to add beyond 'awesome beef'... It tastes absolutely great. one thing i can say is that when i cook a pound of this down, the amount of render that i pour off is extremely reduced, compared to the usual beef one might find at the usual food sources. That invariably has more wasted weight, more impurities, more fat generally, and less flavor than this Old Time Farm beef.
I worked in specialty foods for years, and health food (primarily organic wholesale and retail) for decades. I kid you not; this meat is the bar. I haven't ever had better. Thank you Shelly

My husband is the meat fan in our family, BUT, this boneless chuck roast is turning me into a meat eater, too. I used big chunks of the roast in instant pot stew this week, and it was delicious. Very flavorful, and tender. Very little waste.

Old Time Farm roasts are always great. I made this on a Friday with some simple roast veg and then used the rest a couple days later to make beef stroganoff. Delicious.

We bought two 4lb roasts for Christmas and added on a homemade dry rub. We added some carrots and potatoes and put it in the oven and cooked it long and slow, The roast fell off the bone. It was amazing!!! Everyone loved it.

These are beautiful cuts of meat. Tender and very flavorful, they grilled up perfectly!

I made pot roast in my Instant Pot pressure cooker with this chuck roast. It was delicious!!

This is the only ground beef we eat. It cooks up lean, with wonderful natural flavor. By far, the best ground beef you can buy! Thank you, Old Time Farm, for offering a healthier alternative to store bought meat.

The sliced sirloin steak from Old Time Farm is the best! Top quality beef, that is so convenient for cheesesteak sandwiches.

Delicious, will keep buying through the winter. Fiancé said it was the most delicious thing I’ve cooked, but I used the same recipe, so it’s the meat! So grateful to have found Old Time Farm!

We always buy our ground beef from Shel. We love the flavor it has which boosts the taste of every dish we make with it. Also, we prefer supporting a local grower who provides beef with flavor!


Meet Shel
Hi there! I'm Shel, and as a business & personal development coach, I totally get how overwhelming daily decisions can be.
Back in 2010, I started Old Time Farm because I wanted beef I could feel good about eating.
By 2014, I was raising more beef than our family could eat, so I started sharing it with the 'Burgh at the Bloomfield Farmer's Market and delivering to busy families.
Now I help busy families take back their dinner time with a simple solution: a monthly grass-fed beef share delivered from my Mercer County farm right to their door. Because home-cooked dinners should be simple, not stressful.
