Frequently Asked Questions

Is there MSG in your Sausage?

Great question! NO. Not just NO but absolutely NO NO NO! In an effort to save our customers money we are using packaging that was used for another product that our processing facility had left over. The packages were printed with another farm's ingredients. We have placed our labels WITH OUR INGREDIENTS over the old packaging. Unfortunately our labels do not always cover it totally so there has been some confusion. Once the old bags are gone we will update them with new bags! Until then....enjoy the cost savings!

Is your beef grass-fed? 

(Seriously we get this one all of the time!) The answer is YES. We take great pride in our sustainable grass-fed cattle. All of Tink's Beef is raised the way nature intended. No growth hormones, antibiotics, or grain of any kind is given to our cows - just grass.

Is your beef dry aged or wet aged?

Great question! Our beef is dry aged at our processing facility for a period of time that imparts marvelous flavor and texture to our beef. How long you ask? Well it is a bit of a secret and a family tradition!

Can I pick up beef or pork on your farm?

Yes! You can email or call us to schedule an appointment. You must have an appointment to pick up on the farm!

Where do you process your grass-fed beef?

We use an animal welfare approved, family owned, USDA  facility in South Pittsburgh, Tennessee. Tink, herself, is present and in charge at each step of the process from the calf to the shelf. 

Can I purchase a whole or half of a cow?

Yes. Typically we process once a month, so depending on where we are in the cycle, you could wait for up to three weeks for your product. Email us and we will let you know how long you can expect to wait!

Is there any filler added in your ground beef?

No. Simple as that. Just grass-fed beef.  The fat to beef ratio in our ground beef is varied by the weight of each processed animal. For example, if the cow was a fatter cow, the ratio of fat to beef would be greater by a small margin compared to a leaner animal. 

Can I order your beef online and have it shipped?

Yes! You can place your order in our Farm Store! 

Will I have to fill out all of my information every time I order online?
