 We are in the Frankie's Pre-Range Meat Kitchen. Both myself and my business partner Adam have been losing our minds over the past few weeks. Him in the kitchen, me more so in the kitchen as well as online. Thankfully we have 90% of the orders fulfilled and we will be filling the remaining orders that have been placed in the last week or two this Monday and Tuesday. So everyone is going to have their order, but what happened with FedEx this week? Don't open a meat company in the summer, that's a prank tip. We literally packed about 130 boxes on Monday of this week and our FedEx pickup did not show up. So we had- Showed up, they said no packages, 130 packages filling up an entire room, the driver said no packages. Yeah, so basically from our perspective they didn't show up, but what they told Dispatch was they showed up and there were no packages. So we had quite a bit of money worth of products, with quite a bit of money worth of dry ice. Adam had to put all the boxes in the freezer, order more dry ice the next day, open up every single box and repack it. So this is just one of those things when we're opening up a new business. We don't really have a reputation built up with a lot of vendors, the shipping companies, all of that stuff and it just makes everything more difficult every step along the way. But we're pretty much in the clear now, but some people might have had initial issues with their order and we want to make sure that everyone is happy with the product they received. At this point in time, every single product we are sourcing, we are super happy with the quality. The first, what, like two or three hundred orders didn't ship with dry ice, right? Exactly. Now we're using dry ice, everything should be showing up rock hard. We were receiving fresh product and shipping it to you fresh, which is ideal we think, but most people want to receive frozen products. So we've switched over to frozen, so it's a big change. All of the other meat companies ship their meat frozen like rock solid with dry ice. So we're meeting those expectations right now. We didn't do those, as I said, for the first few hundred orders. So if you weren't happy with how your order showed up or the quality of the product, please reach out to us, infoatfrankeastfreerangeme.com. We've already refunded the majority of the orders for anyone that was unhappy. And by all means guys, if you were unhappy with anything about the order, the quality of the liver, the quality of the fat, how anything tasted, please just reach out to us via email. Let us know what we can do to remedy the situation and make sure these things don't happen in the future. Keep in mind, the product now is better quality, we're better at shipping it. Everything's coming in now that we have established ourselves. So quality should be going up as we move forward. Now that we're shipping with dry ice and we fixed all the issues that we've had with previous orders, everything moving forward is going to be 100% as we intend the product to be. About two weeks ago we sent out most of the Pemmican rent, most of it over during the heat wave, made out of towel. So a lot of the Pemmican that was sent out, unfortunately melted in the bag, Adam's been in the kitchen, killing himself for how many hundreds of hours, making about a thousand pounds of Pemmican for you guys. We put it in bags, it was all good up to like 90, 95 degrees, but when we shipped it out, some of these trucks and trailers, they must have gone up to like 115, 120 degrees. The Pemmican literally melted completely in the bags. And a lot of people ended up getting Pemmican soup. So we refunded a lot of the Pemmican orders. And as a future precaution, we are packing the Pemmicans individually. Think of like Reese's Cups, like those peanut butter candy treats. Like chocolate truffles. Yeah, so every single Pemmican is going to be packed in a tray from now on and covered. So regardless of the temperature, even if it melts, it will retain its shape. But I think that was just something that happened because of that week. Because we tested out the Pemmican shipping before. We shipped to California. It's just that it was a bad month and a really bad week. Of course. So if you guys did get melted Pemmican and you were unhappy with it, please reach out to us. As I said, we've refunded the majority of the Pemmican orders already. And moving forward, these errors will not happen again. As much as we've been playing catch up these past few months now, moving forward at this point in time, we're kind of up and running. And we're going to start doing the other things that we've said we're trying to do. I know a lot of you guys have been asking about fish, raw dairy, pasture raised eggs, like cod liver and glass jars, maybe even some oil supplements. We're trying to make all of that stuff happen. But right now, it really depends on the order volume and the amount of support we get from you guys. So recently, we've been able to add a Wagyu beef box, which we'll show you guys today. We're now grading our steaks so you can pay a little bit extra for more marbled steaks. We've also added lamb fat and in addition to that lamb hearts. So if there is anything in the origami category that you guys have asked me about, we are trying to get that stuff on first and kind of keep to like land animal meat for the most part, you know, because fish, raw dairy, eggs, it's not something we can really do in the short term with how we're currently set up, but it's definitely going to happen sometime next year. We're already working on it. We're getting things in place. Those items take a little bit more operationally and logistically to get out rather than meat products. For every single one of these other products that you guys want us to get, you know, for the raw dairy, we have to literally lease a farm, have our own animals, do full raw dairy production. Same thing with the eggs. We have to lease our own farm, buy custom feed for the chickens. Every single thing that we want to do is something that no one else is doing. And that's Frankie's spirit. Yeah, when you're doing things that no one else is doing, everything along the way is difficult because when you go to a farmer or ask someone to do something for you, they've never done it before. And they either don't want to do it because it doesn't fit into their regular protocol or it's not really worth their while for the size of our company right now, but things are moving really quick. And I mean, I'm really excited about the food quality that we're sending people. Yeah, you have to remember, commodity items are cheap, but they're not special and specialty items are expensive at a great price. So that's what we're up against. None of you guys are going to find Wagyu beef online for the same price. And we're even going to be offering the highly marbled steaks as well. 100 percent grass fed. Almost all Wagyu is grain finished, not in the best conditions, but we're offering a grass fed product and same with the steaks we have. You know, we have very highly marbled ribs by steaks that we're about to show you guys. You see that message to Michaela from that Canadian farmer, Michaela was like, oh, I love wagyu beef. Oh, it was something to do with Michaela Peterson. I didn't want to say something about that. Wagyu is awesome. Wagyu is Tuesday 8 by Wagyu is so good. And her neighbor farmer was like, no, those animals are raised in disgusting conditions, just eating grain, terrible life, no nutrients. Well, we fortunately have Wagyu that is grass fed. So you guys don't have to worry about our Wagyu cows being mountaineer or torture. Yeah, just because it's wagyu could be I mean, it's just even a ton of grain. It's not necessary. I mean, it creates a crazy fatty product. But nutritionally speaking, doesn't mean anything. So what happened on Instagram? Oh, what was it on Twitter with Michaela Peterson or Instagram? Well, yeah, Twitter and then it but on Instagram, she tweeted it. Slowdown Farmstead called her out. Michaela was like, oh, I love I can't I can't get a five wagyu off my mind. Right. Slowdown Farmstead goes, really? Because that stuff is raised on dirt paddocks eating sludge for its whole life. He's their neighbor. No nutrition. She has a neighbor who raises wagyu, right? Slowdown Farmstead grass fed butter that looks like it's radioactive. It has so much beta carotene in it. Her neighbor raises wagyu. The animals are eating sludge. She would never touch that stuff. Right. Michaela is like, oh, my God, I love this. So this grass fed farmer called out Michaela because that grass fed farmer knows how those wagyu were being raised. Exactly. She sees her neighbor mistreating these wagyu, traditional grain finishing. That's a huge call out to me. I mean, I can't believe I don't want to care, though, because it's not coming from her. So he actually ordered me from CrowdCal and what was it? You as well. Oh, my God, yeah. So tell them the crowdcast story and we have that email to back there. CrowdCal sent us three steaks. One hundred forty five dollars. We got twenty five dollars off for our first Frankie's Pure Injury. One of the steaks was smashed and they they gave us a discount on the state twenty five percent off, which is eleven dollars for one pack. So the pack was really expensive. And they said that's twenty five percent rebate on your smashed steaks. That was very nice to CrowdCal. We basically paid one hundred and fifty dollars for three pounds of meat from from CrowdCal and U.S. wellness isn't isn't much cheaper either. And they do have what do they have? They have Pemkin, but their Pemkin isn't legitimate Pemkin. We were checking out their Pemkin. It comes in a tube. It has too much fat. The ratio seems to be off. It seems to be like a grease ball, but theirs isn't dried out. So it's not it's not it doesn't stay at room temperature. They send it frozen. As much as I like to sit here and talk crap about other food companies, this is the reason we started Frankies for your interview. We saw what everyone else was doing. You know, the prices were unacceptable. The food quality was unacceptable. And we want to be different from everyone else. So let's show you guys why we're different. We'll take a look at the ribeye and the wagyu box. That's beautiful. So these are one hundred percent grass fed. One hundred percent grass fed. We're now grading these. We cut every steak by hand. And we're selecting the top 30 percent. We're setting those aside as extra marbles. So these are going to be sold separately, not in the ribeye box. But the marbling on the steaks in the ribeye box is still pretty good for grass fed especially. So if you want to get these, we're going to probably sell a one point two five pound steak for somewhere around twenty dollars. So you're not going to get a steak better than that hundred percent grass fed for this price anyway. That's enough steak to feed yourself today, just one of them. The wagyu isn't just about the marbling. These steaks are also more tender. So I tried these out. The marbling is pretty good. The breed is very, you know, prone to have high marbling. So the marbling is good on these. You guys take a look. This is the wagyu beef short rib that's in the wagyu box. This stuff will just melt in your mouth. So what is it? It's a combination of the level of marbling, as well as the breed of the cow that makes it more tender. It's the texture and flavor as well. These are definitely fatty, considering they're a hundred percent grass fed. This is some wagyu chuck roll, very high level of marbling. And we cut the steak stick. These are this is almost a pound and a half steak. So keep in mind if you guys are interested in buying the wagyu, you're not just getting a high fat. It's a different flavor. It's more tender, overall, much higher quality meat. And this is just the off cut box. We will be offering the stuff that's more typical of wagyu, right? Like the A6 stuff. We're going to get in some higher grades. The wagyu grades can go up to nine for marbling score. We're going to get in some six, seven, eight, nines and offer that separately. In addition to the really well marbled rib eye steaks as well as the wagyu, we have also added lamb fat and lamb heart. Lamb fat is by far the most consistently high quality fat. It always tastes good as lamb are on pasture 100 percent of their lives. So guys, definitely check out Frankie's free range meat dot com. If you have any questions, any ideas about future products. And as I've said in the past, we have some product ideas that will blow your mind, guys, especially in the non perishable department. So, you know, with your continued support, we are going to try to keep coming out with more products. We're doing the paté soon, right? Paté is coming at you. Nutritionally optimized paté that tastes delicious. That's coming up next week. We're going to make a paté. And if you eat about a quarter pound of this paté, you will get all of your nutrients for the day. Omega three from brain, vitamin A from liver. It's going to be really great, guys. Definitely more to come. Are we going to do the chicken liver paté too? Chicken liver, beef liver, maybe pork liver. Yeah, so we'll do a bunch of different patés. We'll see what you guys like.
