Factoids
| "Globalized industrialized food is not cheap: it is too costly for the Earth, for the farmers, for our health. The Earth can no longer carry the burden of groundwater mining, pesticide pollution, disappearance of species and destabilization of the climate. Farmers can no longer carry the burden of debt, which is inevitable in industrial farming with its high costs of production. It is incapable of producing safe, culturally appropriate, tasty, quality food. And it is incapable of producing enough food for all because it is wasteful of land, water and energy. Industrial agriculture uses ten times more energy than it produces. It is thus ten times less efficient." Dr. Vandana Shiva, scientist, world-renowned author, and grassroots leader in India.

| Why is the meat frozen? |
|
The biggest reason is that is MUCH safer to store, handle and deliver frozen than fresh. For safe handling purposes, we would never deliver meat that isn't frozen. Once it is processed & packaged it is flash-frozen at the processor before the farmers even pick it up, and it stays that way until we deliver it. A quickly frozen and properly handled cut of meat will suffer no loss of quality from the freezing process. Most cuts can thaw in a few hours or overnight for large roasts and chickens. If you're in a hurry, try soaking the package in warm water. Never thaw meat in a microwave, it will become tough. |
