Does anyone have experience using Home Place Pastures in Como MS? I have been looking for a new source for Beef and don't know anything about them or know anyone that has used them.

Yes, I have some experience with them. I received some of their products in a Christmas exchange with our good friend Jim ( JLeonard ) and fell in love with them. Mostly I've gotten pork products and all have been outstanding. I also got a couple Osso Bucco cuts of beef that were incredible!! I'll get the links to the threads and post them here in a minute.

Here is the link to the Osso Bucco thread I did a while back.

Osso Bucco: My First Time, Please Be Gentle (Detailed Pics)

Among the fantastic stash of goodies I got from our good friend @JLeonard in the Christmas exchange were some items from a company called Home Place Pastures. Every one of them was absolutely top shelf. Decided to check out their web site and wound up placing a considerable order....to get free...

This is a pork thread I just posted a couple days ago. It's still on the main page but these were the best chops ever!!

Seared Cajun Pork T-Bones (W/Pics)

Once again I found myself with my back up against the wall insofar as having time to cook a decent meal yesterday. It had been a while since we had pork and I was in the mood for something bold and spicy. Decided to get some of these fantastic pork chops out of the freezer that I ordered not too...

I recommend a drive down to Como and have lunch at their shop (their hamburgers are great). They have a case with different cuts of meat as well as a freezer section. Of interest also is that they have a "oops" freezer. You can get highly discounted cuts in there. Also in their shop they have rubs and sauces from local places. Its about an hour drive from Memphis. So if anything you have only lost 2 hours and the cost of lunch to go down.
Also they might work you a deal if you want to buy in bulk.

Placed an order from them last week but haven’t received it yet. Nice selection and good prices. I was surprised by the shipping cost though. 6lb of various meats plus some other small stuff for $144 which was very reasonable. However, $57 for shipping was then added on… $57! I decided to place the order because I have heard great things about them and I really want to try their meat but come on. If Weber can ship a 358lb grill for free how can 6lb cost $57? I get that they might not have huge margins and all that but still. $10-20 for shipping would’ve been more reasonable imo

This is the trick that everybody needs to check on before placing an order anywhere. Find out what the minimum order is to get free shipping. When I placed my order not long ago it was a $200 minimum to qualify for free shipping. You spent that much but if you'd added the food to your cart, you'd have $57 dollars more food for the same amount of money and no shipping cost

If that’s the case then I’m really pissed at myself haha. I checked everywhere on the site and found no info on minimum order for free shipping

Don't be pissed. Be happy and chalk it up as a learning experience. After I looked over the site I saw a few things I'd have liked to order but was curious about shipping costs so I emailed them....for the exact reason you noted: I saw nothing on the web site. Almost every company out there offering online ordering has a minimum for free shipping. You just have to ask. If you have not gotten shipping notification you might be able to cancel the order and start over.

I just called them. They don’t offer free shipping at any order size at the moment. They ran that as a special promotion for a period of time and probably will again at some point in the future but not right now.

The local butcher shop I buy pastured pork from gets their beef from home place pastures.

That does seem high but then again, the styrofoam box, freezer packs plus actual shipping. Still a bit high but they also ship off dimensional weight. It’s a goofy deal but keeps from paying very little for large light products. Not saying it’s the right price but it’s a bit more than just weight.

Edit: I do like their idea with buying whole pigs or half cows. That they break it up into four shipments is cool. Won’t over stuff the freezer.

And the price is off whole inches, not half. I have paid twice what I thought it should cost because they rounded up the measurements to whole numbers. Had I known that, I would have cut the box down to fit the next smaller size!

Yup, they always round up for charging you. Then they destroy the box so it’s much smaller when it’s delivered. That is the cost you should pay off of.

I have a $100 credit at https://grasslandbeef.com/ to use up but I will be checking out HPP in the future.

I have ordered from US Wellness/GrassLand a few times and have been happy with the service/product.
