What are your animals fed?

The answer to this question will depend on the animal species in question, thus we've outlined the details for each below. BEEF• 100% Grass-fed and finished | Our cattle are raised outdoors in the open pasture, consuming a strict 100% forage diet. These animals will not consume any grains in their lifetime• No antibiotics or Growth Hormones | It is our goal to keep your meat as 'Weird-Free' as possible.• No GMOs | These animals consume grasses and hay that has not been genetically modified, nor sprayed with any chemicals. POULTRY• Pasture-Raised | As the season permits, our chickens are moved to fresh green pasture each and every day and are given access to non-GMO grain rations (corn & soy), as these birds are not ruminant animals.• No antibiotics or Growth Hormones• No GMOs | All forages and feed rations are completely GMO-free.LAMB• Pasture-Raised | Our sheep are raised similarly to our cattle–rotated to fresh pasture consuming grass during the growing season.

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.
