Arrival of your Meat
Your product is vacuum sealed and frozen to preserve quality and to provide a wholesome product. Depending on the season and the amount ordered your products may arrive frozen or slightly thawed. As long as the meat is cool to the touch you may cook or refreeze with confidence.
Thawing the meat
For best results thaw in the sealed packaging overnight in your refrigerator. Leaving the meat in the original packaging during thawing preserves the flavor and natural juices. The meat can also be thawed in the original packaging in cold water. Keep the water cold by changing every 30 minutes until the meat is thawed. Using a microwave to defrost meat is not recommended.
Storing the meat
Refrigerate or freeze your order upon arrival. Refrigerated vacuum sealed meat products will hold for 1 week if properly refrigerated at 34 degrees F or lower. Once the vacuum seal is opened use the product within two to three days. If you will freeze your product, set your freezer as cold as possible–preferably under zero degrees F for the best results. Up to six months is the standard storage time for frozen meats.
