What farms do you work with?

Do you dry age your meats?
We know many of our customers have a low tolerance for aged meats. Our meats are received the same day they are harvested, we then process and vacuum seal everything the next day. Immediately we freeze our meats for shipping and keep fresh meats for deliveries and pickups
Are your meats grassfed?
We select only the highest quality animals with the best rearing and husbandry practices. We have been working with local family farms and Amish communities since we began our journey to providing you with the best meats.

Goats are natural grazers and their diet consists of grass and weeds, this is what makes their meat very lean.

Lambs are naturally grass-fed and pasture-raised on the family farms and Amish communities where we source our meats from. The last 30 days before harvesting most farmers will feed them local grains. This is what leads to domestic lamb having a mild and buttery flavor. 

Lamb and Goat, per USDA & FDA regulations, are antibiotic free and hormone free at harvesting.

The Black Angus Beef we have is also sourced from local family farms. They are pasture raised and fed diets based on their farms own practices.

Our chicken is sourced from Amish farmers who raise their chicken hormone free, antibiotic free, cage free, and are fed a 100% vegetarian diet. Our goal and intention is to bring people back to the source of their meats and provide people with the best quality well-raised meats right to their door. We believe that these practices is what makes the difference in the taste and quality of our meats.
Are your meats USDA Certified?
