Common Questions
What’s the benefit of buying direct?
It can be overwhelming to think about spending hundreds of dollars and receiving a large amount of beef at once and it is not a quick decision to make. However, we can promise you that once you get into the routine of buying direct, you will see the benefits for yourself! It’s a luxury to not have to purchase meat from corporations/grocery stores, knowing it’s already on hand in your freezer at all times!
Some other benefits include:
- Comfort in knowing exactly what you are eating - 100% pure beef!
- You can know EVERYTHING about the meat - including how the farmer raised the cattle and be sure additives, preservatives, hormones, etc have NOT been added!
- You are supporting a local farmer and his family that have worked hard to provide this option!
- It’s customizable to your needs!
- Unity Ridge’s beef packages give you lots of meat at a better price without sacrificing quality!
What should I expect after I place an order?
This is a pre-order as our steers will be going to the processor in late April. Therefore, once you place your order, you should receive a confirmation email telling you we received your order. The week of butchering, we will contact you to let you know the exact day we will be going through the process. Then, on the day we pick-up the beef, we will be delivering it to you! (If this doesn’t work for you, please let us know ahead of time) This ensures the meat will be the freshest you could ever get and the best quality!
How long can I safely store the beef?
For the best quality, beef can generally be stored in the fridge for three to five days. If stored in the freezer, the meat will last up to a year, but for maximum flavor it is best if stored less than six months.
How thick will the steaks be?
We have all of our steaks cut to 1 1/4" thick.
How long will the Bunkhouse package last my family?
For a household of 4-5 people the Bunkhouse package will give your family about 40-60 meals, lasting 15-25 weeks if eating on average three times per week.
How much space will I need in my freezer?
It depends on the package you purchase. The bunkhouse (the largest pack we offer without special ordering) would require roughly 15 cubit feet of freezer space.
Is your beef dry-aged?
Yes. Unity Ridge beef is dry-aged for 14 days, making for an enhanced flavor and deepens the tender texture.
What's the lean percentage on UR ground beef?
Unity Ridge's ground beef is 80/20. Perfect percentage to keep the meat flavorful and moist, yet not too greasy. Also, this percentage helps keep the shape of a hamburger patty that would otherwise fall apart if the fat content was any higher.
