Raised Right, Right Here in Chester, SC.

We don’t hide how our food is produced; we celebrate it. We believe that healthy soil creates healthy animals, which creates nutrient-dense food for your loved ones.

We don’t cut corners with feedlots or synthetic additives.

  • Our Beef: 100% grass-fed and grass-finished. They never eat grain.
  • Our Pork & Chicken: Raised outdoors on pasture, supplemented only with non-GMO feed.

This isn’t “industrial organic.” This is regenerative farming. The difference is something you can taste, and a standard you can be proud to support with your gift purchase.

Frequently Asked Gifting Questions

How do I include a gift message, and will they see the price?

Simply type your holiday greeting in the standard Order Notes box on the checkout page (we recommend starting with “GIFT NOTE:”). Our fulfillment team packs every order with item-only packing slips—pricing is never shown inside the box.

What if my recipient isn’t home when UPS delivers the box?

No signature is required. Every order is packed in heavy-duty insulated packaging with dry ice to keep items deeply chilled. While the vast majority of orders arrive frozen solid, our Watson Farms Guarantee ensures the meat arrives at least cold to the touch, which can be safely refrozen, refrigerated, or enjoyed right away.

When will my gift order ship?

We normally ship on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays so no box ever sits in a carrier hub over the weekend. On Monday, Nov 23 (Thanksgiving week) and Monday, Dec 21 (Christmas week), we ship exclusively to 1-Day Ground Zone destinations—no 2-Day Ground or Express Zone orders will ship on Nov 23 or Dec 21. Additionally, Express Zone orders will not ship after December 28 until the week of January 4.
