How to order

As a small family farm with high standards, we can only produce a limited quantity of our Grass-Only Beef. We therefore encourage you to pre-order your beef to reserve your purchase. Pre-ordering will also allow you to specify your preferences for cuts and packaging.

We require a $200 deposit by cheque or Money Order for a side of beef and $100 deposit for 1/4 beef. This will guarantee your order. The balance will be due at the time of pick-up or delivery. Please make cheque payable to:

Mt Lehman Farm and mail it to PO Box 113, Mount Lehman, BC V4X 2P7.

At present we can service the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley areas only. Orders can be picked up at the butcher shop, farm or arrangements can be made for delivery to your door for a fee.

To order, please E-mail us or call 604.856.3775.

*A note about dressed weight and pricing:

Those new to ordering large quantities of beef are often confused about the pricing system used by beef producers. At the grocery store, meat is sold at a price per pound or kilogram of post-processing weight. That is, price is based on the "ready-to-cook" weight. Beef producers like Mount Lehman Farm, on the other hand, base their prices on what is known as the "dressed weight," the weight of beef when it is first hung to dry-age. This is different than the ready-to-cook weight. As fresh beef is aged and prepared for your use, it loses weight in the form of moisture, as well as from the removal of fat and bones. Because of this, the actual amount of beef you receive is 33 to 40% less than the quoted dressed weight. Our prices, which are based on dressed weight, have been set with this weight reduction in mind.
