An important note on how we do business
Here at Feisty Fowl, we're not only butchers, we're farmers too. We understand the foresight, unpredictable circumstances and anxiety that go into booking a processor for your livestock. Please be sure you have a meat processing plan locked in before purchasing your meat stock. It's never a good idea to bank on a butcher being available short notice for the exact window of time that you would like to process. We book out for the entire season several months in advance, and recommend getting in touch around February/March if you have whole season production plans.
While we do our best to serve everyone we can within our means, we are small family operation, and our availability is limited. Requesting our services does not guarantee you our availability. In an effort to improve on the older systems of doing butcher business that came before us, we as a processor require a processing services contract and a $50 deposit to hold your booking date. We value reliability and clear expectations, and hope you do to.
​
How our booking process works:
When you inquire below about availability, we will return your email as soon as is possible (we're busy farmers too), and let you know if we have availability around your requested processing date. Once we've agreed on a date, we'll provide you with our booking contract, and then, an invoice for your deposit. Once both are completed and received by us, your booking is confirmed and your date is reserved. Until we've received your completed booking form and deposit, the date you are requesting is still available to other clients. We may offer/book this date to another client in the meantime, so it's prudent to complete the booking process in a timely manner if you would like to assure your date is reserved.
