Beef Headquarters Update 🔨

Oak Barn Beef is moving! Earlier this year, we purchased a building to turn into Oak Barn Beef's new headquarters. It's about 5 miles away from the farm where our headquarters are located now. To read that announcement, click here. I also shared a more detailed post with our plans for the space. You can view the plans by clicking here!

Our initial goal was to have the storefront opened sometime this summer (2022). We are still be on track for that, considering summer technically goes until September 22 ;) We are predicting a soft-opening sometime at the beginning of September, but of course this could change. We will definitely keep you all in the loop!

The Construction Update:

We're still in full-on construction mode for our new storefront and beef head quarters in West Point. It's not pretty yet, but we have big plans to transform this space in the next few months.

Eric has a full-time job, but he is doing most of the work himself and with family. Luckily, we have a lot of talented relatives and they have been so helpful through the construction project so far! We're also very thankful for the professional contractors who have helped us with plumbing, heating and cooling, and electrical. They are so busy and booked up, and we're very grateful for them making time for us to keep the project moving.

What we're currently working on:

  • Drywall in the storefront retail space, office, and bathroom!
  • Installed the 'shell' of the walk-in freezer
  • Framed the freezer doors and waiting for installation
  • Ordered new garage doors - yipee!
  • Laid block in the existing doors/windows that we no longer needed
  • Making decisions for paint colors, flooring, shelving, and all the things!

Future retail/store front area:

Walk-In Freezer 'Shell' :)

Thanks for following along with us on this big project! We are so excited for the completed project that will come later this year!

We are nearly finished with our first quarter pack and have loved all of it. We will be ordering another quarter pack this fall. Congratulations on the new store. If we ever get to your area we will be stopping in.

My name is Julie, and I work for Oak Barn Beef—mostly on Saturdays. I got the job last fall when my volleyball coach recommended me to Hannah. I expected the job would involve helping customers buy their beef and keeping the store clean. Nice and simple, right?

Wrong.
Little did I know how much heart goes into keeping this store running.
