GREENFIELD, INDIANA · SINCE 2010
Everything you need to know before the first order.
How the meat is raised, how the bundles work, where we ship, what happens in transit, and what to do when your order lands on the porch.
Short answers for real questions.
These are the details customers usually want before ordering frozen meat online: where it comes from, how it travels, and what to do after it arrives.
Choosing the right box.
What is FarmersMarket.com?
FarmersMarket.com is the online home for single-source meat from Tyner Pond Farm in Greenfield, Indiana. Instead of building a box from anonymous suppliers, the program is built around one known farm, one set of standards, and meat packed for customers across the Heartland.
Which box should I start with?
Most first-time customers should start by choosing the cuts or box that fit the way they cook. The Shop page lets you browse 100% grassfed beef, pasture-raised chicken and curated boxes from Tyner Pond Farm.
Why are the products sold as bundles?
Bundles keep the buying experience simple and help the farm plan around the whole animal. They also make frozen shipping more reliable because the box has enough weight and thermal mass to travel cold.
Do I have to subscribe?
No. You can buy a bundle as a one-time order. Subscription options are planned for customers who want repeat deliveries, a more predictable freezer, and subscription savings once that system is connected.
Why do some boxes sell out?
Because the source is real. Inventory comes from Tyner Pond Farm, not an unlimited supplier network. If a box sells out, it means the next batch has not been packed into that bundle yet.
Frozen delivery, kept short.
Where do you ship?
The shipping model is built around the Heartland: Indiana and the surrounding areas our courier can reliably reach in one day from Greenfield. The route is intentionally limited because frozen meat should not sit in transit longer than necessary.
How is the meat packed for shipping?
Cuts are vacuum-sealed, frozen, and packed inside an insulated box with dry ice. The order starts cold at the farm and is routed through the shortest reliable delivery path available for the approved zone.
Will my order arrive fully frozen?
The goal is for the box to arrive frozen or very cold. A small amount of surface softening can happen during transit, especially around package edges. If the meat is still cold to the touch, it can go straight into the freezer.
Do I need to be home for delivery?
You do not need to sign for the box, but you should bring it inside as soon as possible. Frozen meat is happiest when the delivery does not sit in direct sun or warm weather longer than it needs to.
What if the box arrives warm, damaged, or late?
Take photos of the box and the contents, then contact the team right away. If the delivery is not right, we will help make it right. The best first step is always a photo and a quick message before discarding anything.
One farm, not a network.
What does single source mean?
Single source means the meat is connected back to one named farm: Tyner Pond Farm. The point is traceability customers can actually understand. The farm, the practices, the processing, and the packing are not hidden behind a broad regional label.
Who is Tyner Pond Farm?
Tyner Pond Farm is a family-run farm in Greenfield, Indiana, built around regenerative pasture, grassfed beef, pasture-raised chicken, and a shorter path between the land and the customer.
Is the meat USDA inspected?
Yes. The site references A neighboring USDA-inspected processor as part of the known neighboring processor. That means processing is not a mystery step hidden outside the story of the product.
What does grassfed and grass-finished mean here?
For the beef, it means cattle are raised on pasture, hay, and seasonal forage rather than being grain-finished. The reason the farm talks so much about soil, rainfall, and pasture is simple: the quality of the grass shapes the quality of the beef.
What does pasture-raised chicken mean?
The chicken program is built around birds raised on pasture with mobile shelters. The shelters move so the birds have access to fresh ground, sunlight, and a farm system that is more visible than commodity confinement.
From porch to freezer.
What should I do as soon as the box arrives?
Open the box, remove the meat, and move every package to the freezer. If you plan to cook something soon, place that package in the refrigerator to thaw slowly rather than leaving it on the counter.
Can I refreeze meat if the outside has softened?
If the meat is still cold and only surface-softened, it can go back into the freezer. If anything is warm, leaking heavily, or smells off, contact support with photos before using it.
How long can I keep the meat frozen?
For best eating quality, use the cuts within several months and keep them consistently frozen. Vacuum sealing helps protect against freezer burn, but steady freezer temperature still matters.
What is the best way to thaw it?
The best everyday method is an overnight thaw in the refrigerator. For faster cooking, keep the package sealed and thaw it in cold water, changing the water as needed. Avoid thawing meat at room temperature.
Subscriptions, accounts, and help.
Do I need an account to order?
You can check out without making the relationship complicated. An account is useful for seeing orders and managing repeat purchases once subscriptions and account flows are fully connected.
How will subscriptions work?
The subscription setup is planned around simple repeat deliveries: choose the box, choose the cadence, save when subscribed, and manage upcoming orders before they ship. Final subscription controls will depend on the connected app setup.
Can I change or cancel an order after placing it?
Contact the team as quickly as possible. Once a frozen order is packed or handed to the courier, changes may not be possible because the cold-chain process has already started.
How do I contact support?
Use the contact page and include your order number if you have one. For delivery problems, photos of the box, label, and contents help the team solve the issue faster.
