Customer reviews
We love Air2Ground Meats!
We have been on a health journey for several years and were so happy to find that we can pick up grass-fed beef, forested pork, and pasture-raised chicken and lamb right nearby at the Forsyth Farmer's market.
Ordering is easy at their website, and they are always really friendly, responsive and helpful when we have any questions.
Our favorite products are probably the delicious pork loin chops and the pork ribs. We also use a lot of the ground pork and ground beef. In winter we like to get the beef stew meat and some beef bones for stew.
I am a Philly girl and so grateful to have found Air2Ground Meats! I didn't realize how pasture-raised meats can have such great flavor and is so much better tasting than the pale meat sold in pre-packaged containers at my local grocery store. And, ordering my meat is so simple since A2G Meats offers subscription boxes.
The best part is their customer service as they make sure you are 100% satisfied with your order. My meats arrived at my door on a very warm day and everything was still frozen. My family LOVES dinner-time now and I am a customer for life!
Rich and Shelley are great folks. Awesome meats in their air2ground store in this awesome little SW MO town of Ava. Wish we lived closer! We have had their pasture raised pork and chicken and lamb. All amazing!
But my favorite has always been the BEEF! The flavors are memories of my childhood. Back when people knew how to cook real food. And raise it! Always a pleasure to stop in when we can get to Ava MO.

Why it matters
Regenerative farming works with nature instead of against it. Done well, it rebuilds soil, supports biodiversity, treats animals like living creatures instead of units, and helps create a more resilient food system for families.
Fresh air, sunshine, movement, and room to live like animals should.
Healthy land grows better forage and helps build a stronger farm for the next season.
Shorter supply chains and honest sourcing make families less dependent on mystery meat.
Shipping and pickup
Eligible frozen orders can ship through UPS using insulated boxes, gel packs, and 1–2 day shipping options. We ship Monday through Wednesday so your food is not sitting somewhere over a weekend. Prefer local? Choose Ava store pickup or Forsyth Farmers Market pickup at checkout.
Frozen shipping requires a 10 lb minimum and is available only when your cart contains shipping-eligible items. Some items are pickup only, and some items are Missouri pickup or Missouri shipping only. Restricted items are clearly marked and state the restriction at the beginning of the product description.
Our Story
Air2Ground Farms and Air2Ground Meats were built by Rich and Shelley for families who want a direct relationship with the people raising their food.
Air2Ground is a family farm in the Ozarks, not a faceless label. We raise and source food with purpose, keep the path from farm to freezer clear, and tell customers what they are buying without the soft language and mystery that has become normal in the meat case.
That means real meat, practical cuts, honest expectations, and a storefront built around trust instead of tricks.
Families should not need a decoder ring to know what is for dinner. Transparent sourcing, regenerative care, and direct farm relationships make the food system feel human again.
Raised with purpose in the Ozarks means animals, land, staff, and customers are treated like they matter. Because they do.
Clear product names, marked restrictions, sold-out items shown plainly, and final packed weights confirmed before your card is charged. No mystery meat, no industrial fluff, just real food for your family.
Life on the farm
Shipping and Pickup
Eligible frozen orders ship through fast UPS options, packed frozen in insulated boxes with gel packs. Local pickup is always available for pickup-eligible items.
Frozen shipping requires at least 10 lb of meat so the box has enough frozen product to travel well. At checkout, you will see eligible 1–2 day UPS options only.
We ship Monday through Wednesday to reduce weekend delays. Very large orders may need a custom quote so we can pack and route the order properly.
Orders are packed frozen in insulated boxes with gel packs. When the label is purchased, you may receive tracking before the box is physically handed to UPS. Tracking can show “Label Created” until UPS has the package in motion.
Ava pickup and Forsyth Farmers Market pickup are available when offered at checkout. Pickup Only products cannot ship. Missouri Only products can be picked up locally or shipped to a Missouri address only.
Restricted products are marked on product cards and product detail pages so you know before checkout.
