We’re a Florida family farm delivering 100% grass-fed & finished beef, pasture-raised poultry, and wild-caught seafood direct to your door. We offer grass-fed beef delivery and meat subscription boxes nationwide with GAP 4 animal welfare standards. No middlemen—just transparent sourcing and farmer-led service.

No. We do not use mRNA vaccines and have no plans to adopt them. In rare, life-threatening cases (e.g., tetanus or avian influenza), we may use traditional vaccines; all vaccines are cleared from the animal’s system well before harvest.

Here’s what we are: Our farm is third-party certified by the Global Animal Partnership (GAP) for high standards of animal welfare, and our cattle are rated GAP 4. We follow organic-aligned practices (no GMOs, no routine antibiotics, no added hormones, pasture-forward management) and our beef is 100% grass-fed & finished. Learn more About Our Farm.

No—we focus on beef, poultry, and wild-caught seafood.

“Grass-fed & finished” means cattle eat grass for their entire lives (never grain finished). This supports better fat profiles (omega-3s, CLA), micronutrients, and clean, robust flavor. Shop Grass-Fed Beef Delivery.

Yes. Our poultry is raised on pasture with outdoor access and foraging, without routine antibiotics or added hormones. Shop Pastured Poultry.

Longer ground routes (typically 3–4 day ground) sometimes require a small handling fee to cover thicker insulation, additional dry ice, and added packing time to ensure your box stays safely frozen the entire way. If applicable, this fee is clearly shown at checkout. See How Home Delivery Works.

Orders ship fully frozen in an insulated box with dry ice. Every cut is individually vacuum-sealed (cryovac) to lock in freshness and maximize freezer life; ground items are packed in standard sizes. All meat is USDA-inspected. See our shipping tips on the Blog.

We use heavy-duty corrugate, recyclable liners where available, and dry ice. Please recycle cardboard and plastics per your local guidelines; handle and dispose of dry ice safely. Packaging may vary by season/route to ensure quality. See How Home Delivery Works.

No signature is required. Your box includes enough dry ice to stay frozen for hours after delivery. Please unpack and freeze/refrigerate items shortly after arrival.

If items are still cold to the touch (≤40°F), they’re safe to cook or refreeze—similar to grocery meat. For best quality, if thawed in the fridge, cook within 1–2 days. If anything arrives warm or you’re unsure, contact us—we’ll make it right (see How Home Delivery Works).
