The People Behind Your Food
The Robinson Ranch began in 2016 with a simple goal: raise quality beef and pork our family could feel proud to serve and offer that same confidence to our neighbors.
Today, we continue building relationships with families throughout Waynesville, Dayton, Cincinnati and surrounding Ohio communities. When you reserve a share, you are not buying from an anonymous distributor. You are supporting a local family business and gaining a direct connection to the people raising your food.

Hanging weight is the weight of the animal after initial processing but before the meat is cut, trimmed and packaged. Your final take-home weight will be lower than the hanging weight.
Are butcher processing fees included in the listed price?

Can I choose how my beef or pork is cut?

Where do I pick up my finished meat?
Pickup instructions depend on the butcher handling your order. You will receive the location, payment details and pickup information once processing is complete.
How much freezer space do I need?
Freezer space depends on the size of your share and the cuts you choose. A quarter beef requires less space than a half or whole beef, while a half hog generally requires less room than a whole hog.
Can I buy Robinson Ranch meat without purchasing a full share?
Yes. Participating local butcher shops and retail partners may carry individual cuts such as steaks, ground beef, roasts, pork chops, bacon and sausage. Inventory varies by location.
Do you sell smoker wood and firewood?
Yes. The Robinson family also offers kiln-dried smoker wood and local firewood through Kiln Dried Wood Company.

How long does the process take?
Timing depends on the reservation schedule, butcher availability and the type of share ordered. You will receive updates as your order moves through processing.
Do I need to know all of my cuts before reserving?
No. You can reserve first, and the butcher will guide you through the available cutting and packaging options when it is time to complete your instructions.
