How are items shipped?

    All meat products are shipped frozen via FedEx or UPS via 2-day ground. For your safety, we cannot ship to locations outside a 2-day shipping zone for our product to reach you in quality condition. As we are a small farm, we ship weekly on Wednesdays. All product ordered by Sunday at midnight will be shipped Wednesday, orders received after midnight will be shipped the following week. 

Our meat is cooled to -5F and packed in insulated coolers with ice packs. Due to weather and shipping temperatures, it is possible a portion of your order may not arrive completely frozen. We suggest consuming any frozen items within three days or refreeze the items upon arrival. 

The U. S. Dept. of Agriculture (USDA) advises: “Once the food is thawed in the refrigerator (40℉), it is safe to refreeze it without cooking, although there may be a loss of quality due to the moisture lost through thawing.” After cooking raw foods that were previously frozen, it is safe to freeze the cooked foods. If you believe the temperatures didn't drop below average refrigerator settings, we suggest you refreeze. If you are concerned about any of your products, we suggest cooking them and then freezing
