Beef & Lamb — an honest update

First the good news: demand for the beef and lamb is strong and the pledges are filling up. 🥩 Now the honest bit — we've had a shocker of a week on the butchering side.

One butcher had a key staff member cut themselves badly and they're out for four weeks. The next had the exact same thing happen. A third we'd lined up lost a family member. We've now got two more contract butchers we're chasing and waiting to hear back from.

I'm genuinely sorry for the delays. It turns out butchers, like most trades right now, are fighting hard for staff. We will get there — I'm hopeful to have it sorted with an ETA this week. If you'd rather not wait, just let me know and we'll look after you. And if the demand's there, we can add an extra lamb to the mix.

How the pre-order works: you pledge → we hit the target → 50% deposit → balance before delivery. No threshold, no charge.
