FAQ – Hop Creek Farms

When will I get my order and is there a deadline for placing orders?
Deliveries are made as soon as possible after the meat is cut and wrapped. There is no deadline but all orders are on a first come first serve basis. Beef and pork have several slaughter dates throughout the year. Lamb is normally available once a year in the late fall/early winter.
How can I get the specific cuts that I want?
Specialty cuts can be arranged with prior notice, the butcher may have an additional charge depending on the request. Please email us at eat@hopcreekfarms.com
Is there a minimum order?
Yes, we currently offer beef by the quarter, whole lamb and pork. We will also be offering a limited number of smaller mixed packs of beef, pork and seasonal lamb.
What does 'pre-order' mean?
In order to keep our stock as fresh as possible, many of our products are processed after you order. To hold your order for beef, we’ll take a non-refundable deposit based on the amount ($250 - Quarter, $500 - Half, $750 - Whole). For pork and lamb we'll take a non-refundable deposit of $200. Once your order is processed we will contact you to arrange delivery and final payment for the balance of your order.
Can I pick up my meat at the farm?
We are not yet set up for on farm pickups but we are working on it and will make an announcement as soon as this option becomes available. In the meantime we are able to deliver mixed packs locally and larger bulk orders throughout the Sea to Sky and the Lower Mainland. We can deliver smaller orders beyond Squamish for a $150 fee.
How is your meat processed?
All of our meat is processed at a federally inspected CFIA approved facility.
What do you feed your animals and how are they raised?
All of our cows and lambs are grass fed/grass finished. Our pigs are fed certified organic feed. All of our animals are pasture raised and never receive any hormones or antibiotics.
When will you raise chickens?
We are hoping to add free range chicken to our farm in summer 2019
