A.W.Cox is a family owned and operated 7th generation farm. We grow produce, Christmas trees and raise beef cattle and hogs the natural way on our family farm in central Alabama. Our family has many years of experience in farming including raising and selling livestock. We have been providing farm fresh products to Alabama families for generations.

When we buy for ourselves we want to pay a fair price for a quality product and when we sell we want you to get a quality product at a fair price, therefore we focus on producing the highest quality farm fresh goods for our customers at the lowest price possible.
Our farm fresh produce is grown in-season and when available is sold from our produce stand on the farm.

Cox Hollow Christmas Tree Farm grows a variety of choose-and-cut Christmas trees. The trees are growing and will be available in the future.

We raise Hereford and Hereford-Angus naturally raised and grass-finished beef cattle along with old-fashioned hogs. They may be sold by the quarter, half or whole share and are processed and vacuum packaged into freezer beef/pork. Afterwards your frozen meat will be ready to pick-up at A.W.Cox Farm or we can make free delivery to you in Alabama within a 50 mile radius of Centreville, AL 35042. Delivery outside the radius is available for an additional fee.

You are purchasing a whole live animal or a share of the live animal. You are not purchasing meat by the pound. For half shares (side of beef) you along with another individual are each purchasing half of the same live animal that will be processed and divided in equal amounts between the two of you. For quarter shares you are purchasing one-fourth of the live animal and will receive a 1/4 share portion of all cuts from one side of the animal from front to back. There are no complicated pricing structures, guessing, estimating or waiting to find out what your final cost will be. The price you pay when purchasing an animal share from A.W.Cox includes everything necessary for raising you a healthy animal on our pastures to the packaged frozen meat ready for your freezer.

We do not sell individual cuts of meat.

If we are sold out please check back often for availability. The only way to guarantee you receive a share is to make a deposit and by doing so you have essentially purchased a share in a live animal that we will continue to raise until it is ready to process.
Whole beef share is the entire animal. If you purchase a whole beef share you are purchasing the entire live animal and will receive all of the beef from that animal. This is the most economical way to purchase beef from us and depending on family size can usually feed two or more families for an entire year.

Half beef share is half of the animal and is also known as a side of beef. If you purchase a half beef share you along with another individual are each purchasing half of the same live animal and the beef will be divided in 1/2 between the two of you.

Quarter beef share is a fourth of the animal. If you purchase a quarter beef share you are purchasing one-fourth of the live animal and will receive a 1/4 share portion of all cuts from one side of the animal from front to back.

All shares of the live animal must be sold and paid for in full before the animal is delivered for processing.
No problem, you can have that too. Just select an All Ground option in our online STORE when making your purchase. The percentage of lean/fat you receive will be 80-90% lean, i.e. 85% lean/15% fat. This will be very tasty dry-aged premium ground beef as it will comprise meat from all cuts of the same animal. Highly recommended as this is prime burger.
We are a 100% grass-fed and grass-finished farm. We never supplement our cattle with any grains. Our cattle graze on high quality pasture during the growing season and are fed stored forages as needed during the winter months. There is never a feed yard or feedlot involved in raising our cattle.
Yes. The custom processing facility will hang the beef carcass a minimum of 14 days in a controlled cold room environment for the dry-aging process. This naturally tenderizes and enhances the flavor of the beef.
You will receive a quarter, half, or whole beef share that has been processed, vacuum packaged and frozen. Ground beef will be packaged in chubs (tubes).

If you don't provide us with a completed and signed Cut Sheet when we receive your final payment the beef you receive will be packaged in what is known as the "Standard Cut".
