If you still haven’t figured out what to purchase your family or loved ones for Christmas, how about some home-grown beef. According to the 2022 USDA Census of Agriculture, Putnam County is home to approximately 13,400 head of cows and calves. We have a few folks that raise local beef, have it processed and then market it to local residents. Whether is a just a few specific cuts you want, a quarter of a cow cut to order, or an entire cow for your family to feast on for the year, all options are available. Some even offer a tour of their ranches. Please make sure to look through the list below and either visit their social media pages or give them a call directly. All of the farms listed below are family owned and operated right here in Putnam County. This is a great way to support our local farmers and make this a moo-morable Christmas!
