Frequently Asked Questions
Do you sell beef only?
We have recently begun raising pastured pork. We have pork for sale on a first come first serve basis. Our country breakfast sausage is very good and comes in a 1lb. bulk package. We usually have a good supply of this. We will have pork chops, hams and Boston butts. If you're interested in purchasing any pork, just ask us what we have available when you order.
How can I preorder my beef?
The quickest way is to go to our Contact Us page, fill in the required info and send us a message along with your order. When I get your message I will send you a conformation email. You can also use the phone numbers provided to call us.
What size packages does the beef come in?
Our beef comes in portion sizes just like conventional grocery store beef. Ground beef is packaged in approximately 1 pound packages. There are 2 - 6oz. patties in a pack of patties. Steaks are normally packaged 1 to a pack and package weight will vary from steak to steak. Most roasts are 2-3 lbs. depending on the cut.
Can I choose the cuts I prefer when I order a Sampler Pack or a Family Pack?
Yes, just tell us in your message which cuts of steak and roast you prefer. We normally will give you either ribeye steaks or NY Strips in a Sample Pack or Family Pack. All steak and roast orders are based upon availability of product. If your choices are not available I will email you and we can work something out. Speciality packs exclude filet mignon.
When will my order be available for pickup?
If the product you order is available it will be ready once you recieve conformation from us. If certain cuts are not available I will contact you and you may wish to wait until we pick up a new load of beef at our processing plant. Southern Pines area customers may pick up their orders at the Farmer's Market. All other customers may pick up at our farm by appointment. Please tell us when you order where you wish to pick up. See the Farmers Market schedule to find us. See our Contact Us page for our winter season schedule.
How do I pay for my order?
Cash or check when you pick up your order. We can now take credit cards at the markets.
How long will my beef stay fresh in my home freezer?
Because our beef is sold to you so fresh, usually no more than 2 weeks old, your vacuumed packed beef should stay fresh and safe in a home freezer for at least one year from date of purchase.
What if the seal is broken on my meat?
Occasionally the vacuum seal on our meat will break, this may happen when a piece is dropped or roughly handled. We try to catch these pieces before they are sold but occasionally they slip by us. There is no harm in eating this meat, although we usually try to eat it as soon as possible. Do not try to thaw a damaged package in water as the water will seep into the bag of meat. If you find that you have a damaged package, we will be glad to replace it for you.
