A few notes before you order
Pricing. Every order is $4 per pound. Your final total is based on the packaged weight from Hoffman's. The butcher will weigh everything at pickup.
Payment. Cash or check only — no credit cards. A $250 deposit reserves your order and is credited toward your total. When Chad calls with the hanging weight, the remaining balance is due before pickup. At pickup, you pay Hoffman's directly for processing.
Pickup location. All orders are processed at Hoffman's Meats in Cardington, OH, a short drive from Columbus and most of Central Ohio.
Timing. Once you place a request, Chad will follow up with confirmed pricing, estimated weight, and a pickup window.
