⁷ THE WEEKLY PROCESS

From pasture to your door.

01

Sunday — order cutoff

Place your order any time before Monday at midnight to make that week's route. You'll get an automated confirmation immediately.

02

Monday — schedule email

We email your delivery day and a (very approximate) delivery time window so you can plan to have a cooler or porch space ready.

03

Wednesday — pack day

Whole orders pack at the farm in Colonial Beach, VA. Meat goes in frozen, eggs in their carton. Cardboard box, no insulation, no plastic.

04

Thursday–Saturday — drive day

Our driver runs the route. Meat arrives frozen-solid. Get it in the freezer within ~4 hours of delivery. Eggs straight to the fridge.

⁸ FAQ

Questions we get a lot.

We recommend leaving a cooler out, or leaving instructions with your apartment/condo reception. Orders are delivered frozen solid (except eggs) in a corrugated cardboard box. Frozen meat stays cold for ~4 hours unrefrigerated on a cool day.
