How does buying a whole, half or quarter animal work?
When you order a whole, half, or quarter animal from us we deliver the animal to the processing facility. We will contact you with the hanging weight of the animal.

Is the meat organic?
Our farm is not certified organic. We believe our standards reach beyond those of USDA Certified Organic meats. Pasture raised meats are healthier, tastier, more nutritious, more humane, and environmentally responsible. Our goal is to promote animal health via low-stress handling, good nutrition and clean habitat. By utilizing these practices and allowing our animals to consume the feeds they were designed to consume eliminates any need for added chemicals, hormones, and antibiotics.
