How do I safely handle/dispose of dry ice?

Dry ice is added to every box to ensure that your product arrives at safe temperatures. It is not unusual for the dry-ice to be completely dissipated by the time the order arrives. Dry Ice is extremely cold at -109.3°F or -78.5°C and should always be handled with protective gloves to protect your skin, (an oven mitt or towel will also work). If touched briefly it is harmless, but prolonged contact with the skin can freeze cells and cause injury similar to a burn.More safe handling tips:• Dispose of dry ice by letting the unused portion dissipate in a well-ventilated area. Be sure that this is not left in a public area or where it can be accessed by children or pets.• You should never dispose of dry ice in a sink, toilet, or other similar places. This can destroy the structure because of temperature differences.• Do not place dry ice on a tiled or solid surface countertop as again the extreme cold may cause damage.• Do not dispose of trash or garbage.

Freshly frozen!

Unlike a common industry practice, our product does not spend time fresh on a sales shelf and then frozen as a last resort to extend its life. Rather, all of our meat products are flash frozen immediately after processing to preserve freshness!

Do you accept EBT payments?

Currently, we don't have a system established to accept your requested payment option. However, we're always looking for ways to improve in order to satisfy all customer's needs and will continue to consider implementing this option in the future. We make announcements regarding such changes and updates via our e-newsletter, so if you haven't already, I encourage you to take a moment to sign-up.

Can I buy a half or quarter cow?

We do offer bulk beef options for a quarter (70 lbs) and 1/8th cow (35 lbs). We also have smaller options like our Best Butcher Box (14 pounds) that include a variety of beef products. With this, we're able to warehouse large quantities of these bundles, meaning there's virtually no waiting period for your order/cow to be freighted to and from the processor.This also eliminates the need for customers to pay by the hanging weight, as the bundles guarantee the pounds of product included.The only disadvantage to this method is the ability for customers to customize the cuts included in their bundle, as the product has already been pre-assembled. When we offered a custom option in the past, we found that 90% of our customers chose our "recommended cuts" anyhow, so the decision to simplify was clear for us.

Can I be put on a waitlist for a certain item?

At this time, our system is not set up to alert customers when particular items come back into stock. Most items will be back in stock within 2 weeks to a month, although lamb and some other items are seasonal and only come into stock once or twice a year. Our website will be updated as soon as we get items back into stock, so the online store will serve as the most accurate log of what items are available to order.
