FAQ
What's included in a 10kg beef box?
Each box contains approximately 3–4 kg of steaks (such as rib-eye, sirloin, striploin, chuck, and round steak), 3 kg of mince, 2–3 kg of roasts, and 1 kg of stewing beef.
Is the meat frozen upon delivery?
No, the beef is shipped fresh from the butcher and has not been frozen. All products are packed in temperature-controlled cardboard boxes with a sheep’s wool insulating layer to maintain freshness during transit.
Why are there no deliveries between December and April?
The farm feeds animals exclusively on grass and grass silage and does not house them during winter months. This natural feeding cycle means animals maintain body condition without becoming overly fat, aligning with their commitment to sustainable farming practices.
Can I request specific cuts like Bavette or beef ribs?
Currently, specialized cuts aren't available due to the farm's small scale and the need to balance cuts from each carcass to prevent waste and honor the animal's contribution.
