Locally Raised Beef & Eggs — From Our Farm to Your Family.

The Harvest at Cross B is becoming an on-farm beef store in Oklahoma — built intentionally, seasonally, and with room to grow.


When you pull up to our farm, you won’t be walking into a polished retail chain. You’ll be stepping into a working ranch that is slowly transforming part of its space into something more — a place where the food we raise can meet the families who value it.


This store is an extension of what already happens here every day. It’s simply opening the gate a little wider.


Starting Where We Are

Building an on-farm beef store in Oklahoma doesn’t happen overnight.


Early on, availability will be tighter. Building a direct-to-consumer beef supply doesn’t happen overnight — it happens one retained calf at a time.


As we grow, we will intentionally retain more animals for the farm store and expand freezer capacity to match. Over time, that means greater consistency and more availability.


We are beginning with what we have today, while building toward what this can become tomorrow.


Seasonal Availability


We live in a time when nearly every food is available year-round. Grocery stores are stocked in every season, and that convenience has become normal.


A working ranch operates differently. There are rhythms here. Calves arrive in seasons. Animals grow at a natural pace. Processing is scheduled months ahead. Production moves in cycles, not impulses.


Our herd is structured with both spring and fall calving, which allows us to stagger growth and build greater consistency over time. Modern freezers give us flexibility, but they don’t override biology.


Availability will reflect those rhythms. Some periods will feel fuller. Others will be tighter. That rhythm is steady, even when availability isn’t.


Clear Expectations


The Harvest at Cross B will not be fully stocked in every category at all times.


We will not rush herd decisions, processing schedules, or expansion simply to meet short-term demand.


Any product offered here will meet the same standards we hold for our own — clearly labeled, responsibly produced, and aligned with how we believe food should be raised.


Availability will shift with the seasons. Our standards will not.


Growth will happen in step with the land, the herd, and the infrastructure that supports it.


Why We’re Starting Before It’s Perfect


We could wait until supply feels abundant.We could wait until the store space is fully transformed.We could wait until every freezer is filled and every detail is finished.


But waiting for perfect often means never beginning.


The Harvest at Cross B is being built in real time — thoughtfully, steadily, and with long-term vision. What you see in this season is the foundation. Expansion will come.


Availability will grow. The space itself will continue to evolve.


We’re choosing to begin where we are, instead of postponing what we believe in.
