This is a paid piece from Redmond Prime Cuts.

Simplified: You don't need an extra freezer in the basement to get a quarter beef share anymore. With Redmond Prime Cuts' unique subscription service, you can get high quality, locally raised beef delivered monthly to your door.

Why it matters

• Founder Justin Redmond grew up on what's now a third-generation farm in Henry, South Dakota. His dad and brother now run the farm, and several years ago Redmond began raising some cattle from the same bloodline on his own acreage north of Sioux Falls.
• Redmond started selling beef to friends and family, and the demand grew to the point where he decided earlier this year to leave his job in the banking sector and go full-time in his own business: Redmond Prime Cuts, which specializes in high quality beef that's raised locally, ethically and sustainably.
• Through that process, Redmond realized there were some significant barriers to folks being able to buy beef in bulk. When purchasing beef from a local farm, a bulk beef share is the most efficient and cost-effective way to purchase. On average, a customer saves 30% by purchasing a bulk beef share rather than buying the cuts individually. However, storage and the need to pay in full upfront can be issues. Redmond is helping people overcome those barriers with a new subscription service.

"We are the first and only ones who offer this type of subscription model," Redmond said. "We offer the benefits of buying bulk beef, but just in 12 month installments."

How do subscriptions work?

You can sign up for a subscription starting at $60 per month for one eighth beef share up to $240 per month for one half beef share. Beef is delivered monthly to your door with a variety of cuts, depending on the package.

Subscriptions are flexible, too. You can pause at any time if, for example, you're going out of town.

• You can also cancel anytime.

Tell me more about the beef

Redmond Prime Cuts is grass-fed, grain-finished, hormone-free and raised with a commitment to environmental sustainability. Cattle have ample room to roam, and rotational grazing helps preserve the health of the pasture, reduce soil erosion and promote biodiversity.

• Redmond Prime Cuts steaks are featured at the Rivage Oak Kitchen in downtown Sioux Falls, and currently, Pinz in Dells Rapids is featuring Redmond Prime Cuts ground beef for the 605 Rural Burger Battle.

It's also all raised locally, meaning you're getting a true farm-to-table experience and quality.

"It's just a more natural way of consuming beef," Redmond said.
