Shipping Policy

 

We make buying direct from the ranch easy for you with free or flat rate shipping.

Why is your new minimum order for perishable items $199?

We recently changed our order minimum from $149 to $199. Our minimum order reflects the costs of specialized packaging (boxes, liners, and dry ice) and the 2-day shipping required to ensure your perishable items arrive fresh. By encouraging larger, less frequent orders, we aim to reduce our carbon footprint and minimize packaging waste over time. This approach helps us maintain quality and sustainability while delivering a superior customer experience. 

Direct to Your Door

We ship online orders made before SUNDAY at MIDNIGHT PST every week on Tuesdays. Transit times are 1-2 days. Your order will typically arrive on a Wednesday or Thursday. You'll automatically receive an email with your tracking number as soon as your order is processed and ready to ship. All meat is shipped frozen and packaged with dry ice to maintain proper temperature control during shipping.

Pick Up at Butcher - StempleCreekShares.com

The most economical way to purchase our meat is to purchase a half or whole animal and pick it up locally at Bud's Custom Meats in Penngrove, CA or Willowside Meats in Santa, Rosa, CA. For these items, you will pay us directly for the animal before harvest and then pay the butcher shop for the cut and wrap service.
