Why was my beef to tough the first time I cooked it?
Often times with grass-fed organic beef, people often overcook it the first couple times. Our meat is very lean because we do not feed our animals any grain or corn. We suggest low and slow for the bigger cuts and quick on either side for the smaller cuts to keep it from tasting like shoe leather.
We suggest following some recipes specifically made for grass-fed organic beef. Christine Sheriff is a nutritionist that we work with and she has curated recipes specifically for our beef. Find all of her recipes here.
Cooking tips for grass fed organic beef and other organic pastured meats!
Everyone enjoys their food and specifically meat a little different. We often suggest low and slow for roasts and ribs and high and short for your smaller cuts. However, we work with Christine Sheriff and she uses our meat in all of her recipe's.

When will you prepare my order and when can I pick up?
We prepare orders primarily on Wednesday morning's and the occasional Friday. Once your order has been prepared and is paid in full we place it in the self serve freezer and you can pick up at your convenience.
For all of the bulk orders of a quarter or larger we schedule pick up times as there are usually many boxes that go along with an order of that size.
