Frequently asked questions

A whole lamb is $700, and that includes USDA-inspected processing. You'll take home roughly 45–55 pounds of cut-and-wrapped lamb, depending on the animal and your cut choices.

A $100 deposit holds your spot in the next processing cycle. We'll send our Venmo once we confirm there's room (cash, check or Zelle work too). The deposit counts toward your $700 total, so the remaining $600 is due when you pick up your lamb.

To confirm before launch: refund/transfer policy if a customer cancels.

No. Submitting a request on the website tells us you want a lamb. We'll reach out to confirm there's a spot in the cycle and arrange the deposit. Your spot is confirmed once the deposit is received.

It's the short form that tells the processor how to cut your lamb — how thick you want chops, whether you'd like the leg whole or split, how much goes to ground, and so on. We use a standard sheet and allow minor customization. We'll walk you through it after you reserve.

Processing runs seasonally in cycles of about 11–25 animals. When you reserve, we'll tell you which cycle you're in and the expected pickup window.

To confirm before launch: typical cycle months and lead time.

By the pound. Every package is weighed after processing, so the price on the website is an estimate based on the typical package size. We confirm the exact total when we confirm your request.

No deposit for cuts. Send a request, we confirm what's on hand and the exact weight, and you pay when you pick up.

Inventory changes after each processing cycle and after market weekends. The site shows what's on hand as of the last update, and we double-check before confirming any request.

Yes. All lamb is processed at a USDA-inspected facility, cut, vacuum-sealed, labeled, and frozen.

Vacuum-sealed and frozen. Keep it frozen until you're ready to cook; it'll hold well in a standard freezer. A whole lamb takes roughly 2–3 cubic feet of freezer space.

To confirm before launch: freezer-space guidance.

Three options: pick up at the farm in Decatur (by appointment), meet us at a farmers market, or ask about local delivery in Northwest Arkansas.

To confirm before launch: which markets, which days, and delivery area/fee.

Yes — visitors are welcome by appointment. Call or email to set up a time.

Venmo when we meet is easiest; cash, check and Zelle are fine too. We don't take payments on the website, and there's no card fee baked into our prices.

Not right now. Keeping payment to Venmo, cash or check at pickup keeps our prices lower, and it means you never pay for lamb you haven't seen. You'll get a written total from us before you pay anything.
