Come say hi at the farm store!

Ever wish you could just buy your meat from a farmer you actually know? Saturdays, that's us.

Every Saturday since June 2025, Jared and I (hi, I'm Erica!) hang out behind the counter, ready to answer your questions, help you shop, and talk through whatever you're looking for. Jared will pack out your meat for you, the kids pop in and out all day, and Bo — our farm dog — will probably meet you at your car.

We keep it easy: rolling shopping baskets so you're never stuck carrying a load, and a store built around making buying straight from the farmer as simple as grabbing groceries. Whether you stock up once a year with bulk meat, fill a cart monthly, or stop by every week, we welcome everyone — and we think you'll taste the difference the first time you shop direct from the farm.

No guesswork. No mystery labels. Just real food from real people.

📍 Benoit Family Farmstead Store 🕙 Open Saturdays from 10 AM to 2 PM 14844 Audrain Rd 924, Centralia, MO (Look for the red and white metal building)

🔔 Join our email list and you'll get:

  • Weekly updates on what's in stock

  • First dibs on limited cuts and bulk meat deals

  • Behind-the-scenes farm news and specials

👉 Sign up today and come say hi this Saturday — I'd love to meet you!
