Why are shipping costs so expensive?

Several factors go into our shipping costs to make sure your goat meat stays chilled throughout the shipment and when it arrives at your doorstep.

Orders are carefully packed in high-quality shipping materials, with high insulation values, to help keep your meat cold. Each order will also ship with a frozen gel pack or dry ice depending on your destination.

Additionally, we are shipping orders to arrive within a 1- to 2-day arrival based on your location from our farm. In some instances, two-day air rates are necessary to make sure your order arrives in a timely manner and chilled.

Can I recycle my packaging?

Yes! We have a box/liner return program for us to recycle and reuse with future orders. Inside your box you’ll find a return shipping label. Please send the box with liner and a book, magazine or DVD donation. The donation will go to our local library and also allows us to utilize the USPS’s media mail rate. [Fun fact: we are the smallest town in the state with a public library!]

If you return your box and liner, we will add a $10 credit to your account for a future purchase.

You can keep the ice pack if the order came with one. They work great for lunches and such. Unfortunately, our shipping pouches are not included in this program.
