Deliveries: $7.00

This is how we get an order to our customers:

1. Place your order by email [email protected] or phone 1-877-617-2333.

2. Our products have random weights. We will package your orders, calculate the weights and get back to you with the total costs of your orders.

3. We deliver right to your home or work or where ever you prefer. We will let you know the day we deliver and an approximate time of day. If you can not be home at the time of delivery, most people just leave a cooler out where I can place their order in it for safe storage. Many customers just leave a check in the cooler or send us one by mail.

Hi Neighbors,

Well, our chicken and turkey season comes to an end tomorrow as the last chickens will be processed. We will fill all of the preorders as soon as possible. I will be sending out personal emails to see if those of you who pre ordered can take delivery of those turkeys and chickens next week. Many thanks to all of you who ordered early. It helped us very much.

If we run out of turkeys, you may be able to pick one up at Open Harvest In Lincoln.

Hogs---Will have hogs ready in about three weeks if you are interested in a half or a whole hog.

Turkeys----At this time I have only 14 left. I hope I missed no one that thought they ordered one.

Grass fed beef---Going in tomorrow if you would like a half or whole for your own cutting order.

Chickens---Cut ups and small ones left.

I am looking for a place or someone who could serve as a pickup site for customers who can not take their orders the day I make deliveries. I could supply a deep freezer for these orders. If any of you have any suggestions I would be happy to hear it. If a customer can not be at home I can drop off to a neighbor or friend for you if you need me to.

Specials: Save $1 per pound on Briskets and Chuck roasts this month.

Lambs
If you would like to order a lamb in the next 5 to 6 months let me know. Halves or wholes only. The price of lambs will be $4.50/lb carcass weight, plus $85/lamb for processing costs and $65/ lamb for handling and deliveries. Estimates look like the costs would be around $9 –15 per pound of actual take home product depending on how you want it cut up.

Hi Neighbors,

I scheduled my deliveries for next week. Right in the middle of them I agreed to testify at an Agricultural Committee Hearing about some things our Nebraska legislature can do to improve the availability of local foods right here in the state. If I have a decent written testimony I may share it with you.

Please get your orders in a little sooner for this cycle as my window for packing is very narrow. I only have a couple of rib eyes left but have other steaks on hand. Try something new. The taste is great in all of them.

Lambs---Last call for half or whole lamb orders.
Hogs---Will have hogs ready in about three weeks if you are interested in a half or a whole hog.
Turkeys----Grandkids are to get me a count on them as many have been sold.
Grass fed beef---Good time to order if you would like to determine your own cutting order.
Chickens---Lots of small ones left.

Meat Prices: In order for North Star to compete with Big Packers we need to offer our producers at least the same price they could get for their animals in the corporate controlled marketing system of today. Up to this point we had set our prices according to their(our farmers) real costs of production....plus a reasonable premium for the bad things we do not feed our animals......like antibiotics or artificial growth stimulants that increase production and hurry animals to un-natural body size and condition.

For now, watch for price changes as the may change frequently. Our prices should be very competitive with super markets while our quality will be unmatched.
