What families are saying.

★★★★★

The bacon alone was worth it.

We did a quarter beef and a half hog for our family of four. Everything came frozen solid and labeled, and the pork chops are thicker than anything at our grocery store. The bacon alone was worth it.

The ribeyes sold us.

Ordered an eighth to try it before committing to more. The ribeyes sold us. Already asked about a half for spring.

Arrived in perfect shape.

Great ground beef and roasts. Shipping took a little longer than I expected, but it arrived in perfect shape and they kept me posted the whole way.
