Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Our Zabiha Halal program is certified by Halal Monitoring Services (HMS). Every animal is hand-slaughtered by a trained Muslim slaughterman, who recites the Tasmiyah, the name of Allah, before each cut.

Each animal is slaughtered by hand, not by machine. The name of Allah is recited before every cut, and a swift, single cut allows the blood to drain fully, as Zabiha requires.

Yes. We raise cattle, lambs, goats, and chickens on our own farm and feed them our Premium Formula.

Yes. Our meat is processed under USDA inspection.

Yes. Email sales@truenorthmeatsco.com and we will send you a copy. You can also verify our certification directly with Halal Monitoring Services.

Yes, in Minnesota. Nationwide wholesale is a separate program. Home delivery is confirmed from your full Minnesota address before an order is accepted. A city or ZIP alone does not establish eligibility, and we do not promise a delivery date.

Goat and lamb are sold as half or full shares in Small (under 30 lb), Medium (30 to under 45 lb), and Large (45 to under 60 lb). Those sizes use the whole animal's total packaged meat weight after cutting, excluding packaging, before the share is divided. You are billed on your share's actual packaged meat weight, with processing included: $10.99/lb for Small, $9.99/lb for Medium, and $8.99/lb for Large.

Veal is $4.99 per lb hanging carcass weight, and premium beef is $5.85 per lb hanging carcass weight, plus $1.00 processing per lb packaged meat weight after cutting (excluding packaging). Those two charges use different actual weights, not a single combined per-lb rate. Shares are available as quarter, half, or full.

Head, liver, heart, and spleen are included with whole-animal orders. Inclusions for half and quarter shares are confirmed before your order is finalized. You can share cut and packaging preferences, and those are reviewed before acceptance. Bone-in cuts include their bones.

For confirmed Minnesota delivery addresses, delivery is free when the final meat and processing subtotal (before delivery) is $499 or more. Below $499, delivery is $25 for Minneapolis and suburbs within a proposed 50-mile radius, and $49 for other Minnesota addresses. The radius origin and precise boundary are confirmed from your full address before acceptance.

Use the order-request form on our Place an Order page, or call 952-219-3878. Final weights, the meat and processing total, cuts, and delivery are confirmed before acceptance. Sending a request is not an accepted or paid order.

You can request a custom box with cuts such as goat stew meat, goat chops, ground goat, beef steaks, ground beef, lamb chops, and, on request, lamb stew cuts and beef chuck. Custom-box pricing is still being finalized, so those are quoted separately from animal-share rates.
