How Farm Pickup Works
Farm pickup can be a convenient option for customers near Decatur, Texas, when a product is marked eligible. Pickup is scheduled rather than open-access because livestock chores, deliveries, markets, weather, and ranch security shape the workday.
Please wait for confirmation before driving to the ranch.
Place and Confirm Your Order
Order through the store or follow the instructions on the applicable reservation. Confirm the order number, pickup method, date, time window, and any balance due. A store confirmation alone may not establish an unscheduled arrival time.
Bring Appropriate Cold Storage
Frozen meat should travel in clean coolers, insulated bags, or containers appropriate for the distance and weather. Larger bundles and hog shares may require multiple coolers or substantial vehicle space.
Arrival and Ranch Biosecurity
Use the directions supplied with the confirmed pickup and remain in the designated customer area. Do not enter livestock areas, open gates, approach animals, or bring pets without permission. These boundaries protect customers, animals, and ranch biosecurity.
Choose the Best Fulfillment Option
Compare farm pickup with local delivery, farmers markets, and qualifying shipping. Shop current availability or confirm a pickup question.
