When will my order arrive?
We require a three-day advance for all orders. Here’s what you can expect:
- Home Delivery: Your order will be delivered based on your location:
- North Bay/Napa: Tuesdays
- East Bay/Marin: Wednesdays

Note: We occasionally combine Wednesday and Thursday routes into a single Wednesday delivery, depending on the number of orders. We’ll notify you by text if this applies to your delivery.
- Overnight Shipping: If you choose Overnight Shipping, your order will be sent out on a Tuesday. Orders within California typically arrive the next day, while orders outside California are delivered within two days.
How is my order delivered or shipped?
All orders are delivered or shipped frozen to ensure quality. It’s normal for some thawing to occur during transit, but as long as your meat stays below 40°F, it’s perfectly safe to eat and can be refrozen without issue. Our shipping boxes are designed to handle an extra day in transit if needed. If you have any concerns about the condition of your meat upon arrival, don’t hesitate to contact us.
Do you deliver in North Berkeley? Thank you.
Yep! Just select East Bay on Wednesday. Thanks!
