How Long Does Our Meat Last in the Refrigerator?

Another question we often hear is: "How long can I keep your meat in the fridge after it’s thawed?"

We understand the concern. With grocery store meat, it often feels like a race against the clock—and for good reason. Industrial meat is often shipped long distances, treated with preservatives or gases to extend shelf life, and comes from animals raised in systems that prioritize yield over health. Spoilage risk is real, and many people have learned to be cautious.

Our approach is different. We raise animals outdoors, on pasture, with daily rotation and without the use of drugs or chemicals. We process in small batches and avoid any artificial preservation methods. That means what you’re getting is clean meat—from healthy animals—with nothing added and nothing covered up.

Because of that, our meat lasts longer in the refrigerator than most people expect. Once thawed, both ground beef and chicken will typically last at least 1–2 weeks in your fridge, often more. It’s not old when it arrives at your door, and it hasn’t been altered to mask spoilage. You can trust your senses.

If it smells clean, it’s still good. If it smells off, you’ll know. There’s no need to guess or worry. We don’t do anything to hide the truth—and that includes how our food behaves in your kitchen.

This is what meat should be. Not chemically treated. Not disguised. Just honest food you can feel confident feeding your family.

As always, we’re here if you have questions.
