The Benefits of Choosing Country Meats for Your FFA SAE Fundraiser
Quality Meat Products
We’re renowned for our high-quality ingredients, starting with premium pork as the basis for each delicious meat stick. When you choose Country Meats for your FFA fundraiser, you’re not just selling any meat – you’re offering a prime selection of handcrafted, homemade smoked meat stick recipes to your supporters. Country Meats’ savory flavors also pack 9 grams of protein per stick as well as minimal or no fat, sugar, or carbs.
Support for Agriculture
By partnering with Country Meats, you’re not just raising funds for your FFA SAE project; you’re also supporting a family-owned and operated agriculture business. We understand the value of agriculture and the impact of FFA on the next generation of American farmers and leaders in the field. We’re proud to support young people dedicated to learning about American farming, food, and natural resources.
Easy and Profitable Fundraising Options
With Country Meats, you get both online and traditional fundraising options, which gives you the flexibility to choose the method that best suits your needs. You can choose one method, combine methods to boost profits, run a limited-time fundraiser, or keep your Country Meats fundraiser ongoing throughout the year.
Online Fundraising
Take advantage of the wide reach of the internet and social media promotion by hosting a Country Meats online fundraiser. It’s easy to set up an account on our website and receive a custom URL for your specific FFA fundraiser. All you have to do is get the word out, give people your URL, and let them buy as many meat sticks as they want. We fill the orders and ship them directly to your customers. Twenty days after your first successful order, you can start requesting account payout and funding your FFA SAE project.
Traditional Fundraising
Traditional fundraising with Country Meats remains the most powerful method to engage with your local community. Set up booths at sporting events, outside local hardware, agricultural supply, or big box stores (with permission, of course!), or at your school. The personal touch of traditional fundraising can create lasting connections with your community members as well as build interest in FFA and the SAE projects they’re supporting.
