Ararat Farm Store
Welcome to Ararat Farm’s Store. We offer beef and pork as well as some other exotic items. So please check back often. We currently have in stock select cuts by the pound.
We offer a Spring and Fall beef order as well as the Summer and Winter pork order to supply you bulk meat to fill your freezer through the year.
We are now offering a retail option which is purchasing select cuts by the pound. This will work like an online store order with deliveries once a month. The delivery info is on the order page.
To simplify the store front we are combining all products in one page that will show when we are in stock. Click on the picture to start your order.
Below is purchase information of how orders work both in retail and bulk meats as well as the Bulk Beef cut sheet layout.
If you have any questions call Matt Watson: 276-708-6913
Purchase Information
In the following we provide you with all the information on how Ararat Farm does bulk beef and pork orders. There is also a brief summary on how our cuts by the package work as well. Please read through the process carefully and sign up for our newsletters so you can stay informed about when orders are open.
Order Frequency
At Ararat Farm we do seasonal orders. Spring (May) and Fall (September). This ensures that you will always have the ability to fill your freezer with meat throughout the year. Occasionally we will process a cow between scheduled orders if we fill an order for a whole cow.
Bison and Chicken are available when in stock. They will not always be an available product so it’s a first come first serve basis.

How to order Bulk Beef
For ordering beef you will receive an update of when orders are open a month in advance to the order close date. During this time you will fill out your order sheet and what package you would like on the website and submit along with your deposit. Your deposit is your purchase of a share of the animal with the rest of your total paid on the delivery day. Typically the order close date is a week before the cows go to butcher. That way if there are any changes that need to be made we can make them before the butcher gets your order sheet. The beef is $5.11 per lb. with a discount if you order 1/2 0r whole cow.
When the beef is ready for delivery (roughly two weeks after the cows go to butcher), you will receive an update that your beef is ready and info on your total and a drop date, place and time. Customers are welcome to pick up at the butcher but for your convenience we do two centrally located drops in Kingsport and Knoxville. After the delivery date you get to enjoy your delicious grass fed beef. As an extra bonus we offer 5% off your order for every new customer you refer us to when they purchase.
Below are the package options and what cuts will come out of a quarter beef. We have recently added this to make it easier for you to choose when order time comes.
How to order Cuts by the Package
We are now offering select beef cuts by the package. This means that we are selling cuts in a bundle of more than 1lb./package. For Example: Ground beef will be a 5 package bundle of 1lb. packages.
This is how the order process will work. You will select through the store the quantity of meat you would like. When you add to cart and choose your quantity you will be prompted to choose a location and check a shipping fee. These locations are set and will be updated monthly.
“Pick Me!!” “No Me!!”
How to order Bulk Pork
For ordering pork you will receive an update of when orders are open a month in advance to the order close date. During this time you will fill out your order sheet on the website and submit along with your deposit. Your deposit is your purchase of a share of the animal with the rest of your total paid on the delivery day. Typically the order close date is a week before the pigs go to butcher. That way if there are any changes that need to be made we can make them before the butcher gets your order sheet. The pork is $4.75 per lb. for 1/2 and a whole pig.
When the pork is ready for delivery (roughly one and a half to two weeks after the pigs go to butcher), you will receive an update that your pork is ready and info on a drop date, place and time. Customers are welcome to pick up at the butcher but for your convenience we do two centrally located drops in Kingsport and Knoxville. After the delivery date you get to enjoy a freezer full of juicy pork.
