Circle C Farm FAQ’s
These are questions most people have asked.
Is your farm latex and PBA free?
Yes.
Is your farm organic?
We “exceed" organic standards. The name Organic is a business to make money off farms who have to pay thousands of dollars a year to have that name stamped on packages. To be certified “organic”, farms only has to be 95% compliant to be organic and label as such. Circle C Farm is 100% pesticide and fertilizer free. Our animals provide everything for regeneration of the land.
What do you feed your chickens, ducks, hens and pigs?
Our pastured poultry, hens and pigs are fed organic white rice with some organic brown rice and milo as well as all the grass, seeds, bugs and worms they find on the pasture.
What do you feed your cows and lambs?
100% Grass Fed and 100% grass finished. THAT’S IT!
Do you vaccinate or use antibiotics on any of your animals?
NO! There is no need to.
Do you deliver nationwide?
Yes we do. We deliver our meats, honeys, butters, ½ and whole cows and our world-famous eggs all over the US, including Alaska and Hawaii.
What is the cutoff to receive orders each week?
For same week delivery, you must order by Tuesday 6 AM EST.
Do you offer farm pickup?
No. We are a federally inspected USDA facility and closed to the public.
Do you offer tours?
Yes, we do offer tours in December, January, February, and March.
Do you ship with ice bags, ice or dry ice?
We ship with dry ice in 100% recyclable insulated silver coolers and must follow FAA guidelines regulating dry ice amounts for air deliveries. We will get your meats to your doorstep refrigerator cold to frozen.
What if I receive my box and all the dry ice is gone?
Dry ice can evaporate in transit. If the meat is refrigerator cold to frozen it is food safe and you can put it in the freezer.
How do I discard the dry ice?
Discard the dry ice by letting it dissipate in the sink or put it outside away from children and pets, so they do not touch it. Dry ice is (-78.5 degrees C). It will burn your hands, so carry by the plastic bag top or use a glove.
What happens if my package has a nick, is cut or has air in it?
Meats leave our farm completely cryovact. Nicks can occur during transport by a bone in cut of meat or the dry ice rubbing up against it allowing air to come in. Items shift during transport. There is nothing wrong with the meat and the meat is safe for consumption. You can put it in an extra freezer bag and place it in the freezer.
I ordered the same meat and they are different colors. What happened?
We don’t color, dye, provide food to the animals that dye the meat, bleach or gas our meats. Animals meat color will be different based on what the animal is eating more or less of. At Circle C Farm, all the animals grow naturally on pasture 24/7/365. Another reason for the color difference may happen when the meat is cryovaced. Air may get in the bag and darken the meat. There is nothing wrong with the meat. Brown meat is not bad meat!
My meat defrosted in the refrigerator and juice leaked all over my refrigerator. Is it bad?
No. Meat has natural juices and a pin hole may happen. Always put your frozen meats on a plate or in a bowl when defrosting in the refrigerator.

No. If your order goes out with the wrong address, you are responsible for all costs associated with the re-shipment. We will not refund your order.
