ORDER
What's the difference between a subscription and a share?
When you create a subscription with us, you choose the exact things you want shipped at the frequency of your choosing (every 30 days, every 60 days, every 90 days). Subscriptions are a great way to keep high quality proteins stocked at your home at all times. With our updated customer portal, you can easily access your account and make necessary changes to your subscription and effectively eliminate your dependence on big grocery stores and the commodity meat industry.
We offer Whole Animal Shares for our Pastured Pork or Grass Fed Beef and come in quarter share, half share, or whole share. We have a couple of different options for each- you choose one breakdown and come pick it up! It's the best value for your buck, but you have to commit to a larger quantity and its pickup only!
Why are the Shares the best value?
- The shares are pickup only, so there are no shipping and packaging costs! That means a better price for you.
- You are buying a larger quantity of meat so we can offer a price break based on volume!
- Most importantly, you are helping us sell the whole animal, nose to tail, which is essential to making our farm and on-farm harvest and processing business model work. In return for our customer committing nose to tail, we offer the best price we can!
Can I just buy one off products?
Yes! You have complete freedom to shop for any cut of meat we sell as a one-time purchase. However, by subscribing our customers receive 10% off every product for every purchase. To purchase products just one time, be sure to select “one-time purchase” at checkout
SHIPPING
When will my product ship?
We have a fulfillment goal of shipping orders within 48 hours of time of purchase. Orders made on Friday Saturday Sunday will experience a slightly longer fulfillment window as we only ship Monday through Wednesday. You will receive shipping notification and tracking information when we ship your order.
How will my package arrive?
Your package will arrive frozen or partially thawed and very cold to the touch. We ship all products frozen in insulated, recyclable packaging using drain safe ice packs and sometimes dry ice!
Do you use dry ice?
Yes. Dry ice sublimates over time, so if your box arrives without any visible dry ice, rest assured it has done its job. Your meat should be frozen or thawed but very cold to the touch. Contact us if you are concerned about the product temperatures!
My meat was thawed, is it safe?
If your meat arrives thawed, it should be very cold to the touch, similar to products from your refrigerator. It is safe to refreeze or put in the fridge!
Why is my meat frozen as opposed to fresh?
We flash freeze all of our products as soon as they are butchered and packaged in our USDA inspected processing facility. We have found that this is the best way to lock in the highest quality and freshness and ensure safety while the product is in transit to your home.
What is the shelf life of your products in the fridge?
We recommend consuming bone in products within 7 days of thawing, and boneless products and ground products within 14 days in the fridge.
What is the shelf life of your products in the freezer?
If the seal remains intact, products remain safe to eat in the freezer for up to 2 years, although some decline in quality can occur after 1 year. If the seal is broken, “freezer burn” can affect quality within a couple of weeks.
PRODUCTION PRACTICE
Do you use mRNA Vaccines?
No. Here is our blog post about this topic!
Is your beef 100% grass-fed and finished?
Yes. Our cattle never receive corn, soy, or grain byproducts for their entire lifespan.
Are you certified organic?
While we do not use herbicides, pesticides or synthetic fertilizers, we are not certified organic. This is mostly because of the exorbitant cost and regulatory burden on us and network of small family farms. We have also found that this claim has largely been assumed by huge brands in industrial production, where animals are still confined and fed corn. Our beef, pork, and eggs, are Certified Humane and No Antibiotics Ever. Our beef is certified grass fed and our pork is certified pasture raised.
Do you use antibiotics?
No. Never. We run a “No Antibiotics Ever” program.
What is "regenerative agriculture?" I’m new to this buzzword.
Regenerative agriculture is style of farming that focuses on soil health by managing a farm like an ecosystem, with multiple species of livestock working together to emulate a natural environment and create abundance. Regenerative farms BUILD soil health, SEQUESTER greenhouse gases in the soil, ENHANCE watershed health and water infiltration, and INCREASE biodiversity. Here is a link for more information.
Where do you slaughter and process your livestock?
Right here in the middle of our farm in Como, MS. We are only of the only meat producers in the country that has a USDA inspected processing facility on the same land where our livestock is raised and finished. It's a very challenging, very special part of our program, and it means that you know 100% where your meat is coming from and who is responsible for getting it there!
