What are your payment methods?
We accept most major cards through our online store. If you select local pick up then you have the option to pay cash on collection. We also accept payment by Revolut and Bitcoin.
Is your meat sold fresh or frozen?
We sell most of our meat frozen, however there are times when we will be selling it fresh. Our meat is cut, packaged and freshly frozen as soon as possible to ensure optimum quality. Because our products contain zero preservatives it means that they have a short shelf-life when sold fresh. We recommend consuming fresh sausages within 2 days of purchasing, otherwise freeze them.
What is the shelf-life on your meat?
We vacuum seal our meat which means that fresh meat will last for at least 10 days in the refrigerator, after which it will need to be frozen. Once frozen, the shelf-life extends to 12 months.
Can I cook defrosted meat and then re-freeze the meal?
Yes. It is safe to defrost meat, cook a meal and then freeze the meal.
Is your farm open to the public?
No. Our farm is not open to the public. We would love to host open days and farm walks one day soon. In the meantime, we are very active on Instagram and operate with full transparency, so follow us if you are interested in seeing our animals and how we farm.
Are you certified organic?
Yes, our farm is certified organic through the Irish Organic Association. We removed our pigs from organic certification due to our inability to source enough certified organic piglets and sows to build a herd. However, we follow strict organic practices with our pigs. They spend their entire lives free to roam outdoors, they don't receive any vaccinations or medications, and they are fed a certified organic grain mix (wheat, barley, oats, peas and beans) grown in County Tipperary. Their feed is free from soy, fillers, seed oils or additives.
