Fill Your Freezer For Months At These 5 Mississippi Farms Selling Beef And Pork In Bulk

Grocery store meat prices keep climbing, and that pushed me to start looking at farms around Mississippi instead. What I found surprised me: quiet gravel roads, small farm stores, and families who raise cattle and hogs on open pasture and sell straight to you. Buying beef and pork in bulk can stock your freezer for months, save trips to the store, and give kids a real look at where dinner comes from.

Here are farms across the state that make filling that freezer simple.

1. Home Place Pastures, Como, MS

Since 1871, one family has worked these 1,800 acres in north Mississippi, and five generations later the farm is still running strong. Pork, beef, and lamb are raised entirely on pasture here, using regenerative methods that the farm happily explains on tours.

For stocking up, the on-site retail store carries fresh butcher cuts alongside regionally sourced goods. Beef and pork packs make an easy first bulk purchase, and monthly meat shipments are available for families who would rather have a steady supply arrive at the door. Delivery and in-store pickup are both options.

Kids tend to love this stop because it feels like more than a shopping trip. A lunch counter serves a fried pork chop sandwich, monthly farm-to-table dinners bring people together, and campsites let families actually sleep on the farm. Seasonal events round out the calendar.

Plan around the hours, since the store opens Tuesday through Saturday from 8 AM to 5 PM and stays closed Sunday and Monday. Saturdays and Thursdays get busy, so an early arrival helps. The farm sits at 1630 Home Place Rd in Como, and calling 662-426-6223 ahead is a smart move before a big order.

2. Gnarled Oak Farm, Hernando, MS

Saturday mornings are the only window to shop in person at this small family farm, and that two-hour slot is worth planning a weekend around. From 10 AM to noon, the gates open for neighbors who want meat raised just a few miles from home.

Variety sets this place apart. Beef, pork, lamb, and poultry come off the land, along with heritage and ancient grains, which is unusual for a farm this size. Everything is raised regeneratively, with the stated goal of producing food that is good for people and for the planet.

Families who buy here often leave with enough to fill an entire freezer. That makes it a practical choice for households in the Hernando area and greater DeSoto County who want to cut down on weekly grocery runs. Mixing beef and pork in one haul keeps dinner plans flexible for months.

Kids get a quick, low-key taste of farm life during pickup, and the short hours keep the visit easy. Before driving out to 4460 Treadway Rd, check availability at 541-556-6330 or browse the farm’s website. Arriving close to opening gives the best shot at a full selection.

3. Nature’s Gourmet Farm, Petal, MS

Same-day pickup is not something most people expect from a farm, yet orders here often come together fast and accurately at the farm store. That speed makes it a strong pick for busy parents who need to restock without a long wait.

The beef is grass-fed and grass-finished, raised with organic methods, and the pork comes from pigs kept in calm, low-stress conditions. Popular picks include ground beef, ground pork, pork sausage, and beef kabob meat, all handy for quick family meals. Eggs are sold too, including large tray quantities.

Price is a big draw. Per-pound costs here rank among the lowest around for this kind of meat, which matters when buying ten pounds of ground beef or more at once. Regenerative farming practices also support healthier soil and pasture, a nice bonus for families who care about the land.

Hours are generous, running Monday through Saturday from 8 AM to 8 PM, so an after-school pickup works well. The farm is located at 367 McKenzie Rd in Petal. Call 601-434-9081 or visit the website to place an order before heading over.

4. Black Creek Farm llc, Picayune, MS

Pigs, chickens, ducks, and cows all share the land at this veteran-owned farm near Picayune, and children usually spot the animals before the car is even parked. Few stops on this list feel quite as much like a petting-zoo-meets-butcher-shop experience.

Animals are raised free range and drug free, using a natural approach the owners describe as raising livestock the right way. Every cut sold is fresh and then flash frozen, which locks in quality and makes the meat ready to go straight into a home freezer.

Pork smoked sausage is a standout product, perfect for quick weeknight suppers or weekend breakfasts. Stocking up on frozen farm meat here means fewer store trips and a freezer full of food with a clear story behind it.

Visits require an appointment, so call 601-916-1612 before driving to 4421 MS-43. Curbside pickup, in-store pickup, and in-store shopping are all available, though delivery is not offered. Stops are usually quick, which keeps little ones happy.

Bring a cooler for the ride home, since everything leaves frozen solid.

5. Mitchell Farms, Collins, MS

Picture a cooler packed with ribeyes, pork chops, and smoked sausage, all raised just down the road. That is the kind of haul families bring home from this Covington County farm, where cattle and hogs roam open pasture surrounded by south Mississippi pines.

Bulk buyers can reserve a quarter, half, or whole beef, and pork shares are often available too. Cuts are processed at a local facility, vacuum sealed, and labeled so your freezer stays organized.

Here is a handy tip: a half beef usually needs about eight cubic feet of freezer space. Call ahead to check processing dates, since popular slots fill quickly each season.
