FAQ
Where do you source your meat from?
We partner with small, local farms in the Okanagan Valley who are dedicated to practicing traditional animal husbandry, raising their animals humanely and providing them with quality, non-GMO feed. Learn more about our partner Farmers.
who are your butchers?
All of our meats are processed, packaged, and frozen for freshness in reputable, Provincially Inspected facilities. Specific facilities will vary from ranch to ranch, as most Ranchers have typically built good working relationships with their butchers and we fully support this.
Our home ranch works closely with FarmHouse Butchery in Westbridge, BC.

why frozen?
Our meats are frozen at the butchers immediately after packaging to ensure optimal freshness and quality of product. We understand this may be a change for customers who are accustomed to purchasing non-frozen meats to cook the same day; however, the overall freshness of product and low-waste is well worth a bit more planning in our opinion!
Do you sell sides or quarters?
No, but we are happy to provide contact information to individuals who would like to purchase a side directly from the Ranchers! Our meats are cut and wrapped in 1-5lb packages to accommodate families who may not have the freezer space, or the need for a large quantity of meat, and who may not be able to dedicate the significant upfront cost associated with purchasing a side. We believe that these factors should not be a barrier for families who want to eat great quality, local farm fresh meat.
what are your payment options?
We accept Visa, Mastercard, Debit, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and good ol' cash.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY "FOOD SECURITY"? WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT?
During the COVID-19 pandemic, all of us experienced the effects of supply chain issues and it became clear that we needed to re-evaluate the way we get our food, and from where. Simply put, we want to ensure that our community continues to have reliable access to high quality, reasonably priced, fresh meats. We believe the best way to achieve this is by building strong relationships with local farmers, and supporting the expansion of local agricultural infrastructure, allowing for higher capacities of production within the area.
what do you mean by "naturally Raised"?
We mean that the animals are treated humanely, raised without the use of hormones, growth implants, unnecessary antibiotics or GMO-feed, and are allowed to roam freely on rangelands or pastures for the majority of their lives.
