The Ranch Club Refresh
We hear it every day, you want to feed your family high-quality food and support local farmers, but you also need it to also be easy and convenient. We're all busy after all!
So it was with that in mind, that two and a half years ago we launched Ranch Club, our monthly meat subscription where we carefully curate a collection of our free-range and pasture raised meat for you each month based on your family’s unique preferences.
Since then our members have been enjoying the ability to get their hands on their favourite products all while trying new items and getting priority access to beef – Which we all know is in high-demand around Central Park Farms!
While we've always kept it open for folks to join at any time, we're making some updates to Ranch Club to serve that community even better, so we'll be closing the doors to new members at midnight on March 15th.
When will it reopen? To be honest it likely won't be again until the fall. We'll have more beef starting up soon (much to the delight of members) and since it's a perk of Ranch Club we don't want to overwhelm that supply.
Now if you been considering joining but aren't sure you want to commit without knowing for sure that it's a fit for your family, not to worry, Ranch Club is super flexible.
There's no commitment, you can pause your membership, skip a month, or cancel all together if life changes. Simply log into your account and make any changes or email us and we can do it for you.
Plus with multiple price points, you can join for as little as $149 per month. And, if you want to be guaranteed extra of your family's favourites you can add any products from the online store to your monthly order with no additional delivery charges.
As a farm, our meat subscription program is wildly helpful for us. It helps us forecast inventory needs, and plan cashflow which is more important now than ever before.
So we recently sat down as a family to figure out how we can make sure our members are loving it as much as we are.
Here are a few features, including some new ones, that we're really excited about:
Each month, you'll received an order carefully curated with your family's unique preferences in mind. As a member of Ranch Club, you don't need to worry about forgetting to place an order and instead all you'll need to remember is to take meat out of the freezer to thaw for dinner.
With price points starting at only $149/month, there's something for all family sizes and needs.
Your membership is commitment free – You can cancel at any time, skip a month or pause if needed. If you won't be cooking a lot at home one month, you can easily log in and pause your order or if you need a little extra meat you can increase the size of your subscription at anytime.
Beef! Ok, we know it can be annoying when you can't get your hands on beef as often as you'd like, but we're finally at the point where beef will be more consistent in Ranch Club. As always, we'll put beef into Ranch Club first and then into the farm & online store.
Newly launched, a special Ranch Club Member's Only online shop. As loyal Ranch Club members, you're our unofficial board of directors. This shop is where you can add on some extra, limited edition, lower quantity products before they're publicly available. Some items coming soon are lamb, smoked pork tenderloin, salami, and more.
Still Not Sure If It's Right For You?
Ranch Club is for you if…
You want this one thing taken off your plate so you don't need to worry about placing an order each month.
You want the security of knowing a local farm is prioritizing your family's needs.
You like trying new things and enjoy surprises.
You want to get your hands on products before everyone else.
You want to work with a local farm family to support the work they're doing in a different way.
Ranch Club is likely not a fit if…
You're very particular about what cuts of meat you get and like to stick with what you know you love.
You aren't a huge fan of cooking and would rather stick to a few meals you know and love.
You'd rather shop when you need to and don't mind popping online or coming to the farm store when needed.
To celebrate our incredible Ranch Club members from now until we close the doors, we’re giving away some great prizes!
Prize #1: Free Meat
We'll be drawing for two member, one new and existing to each win an extra $100 worth of meat added to their next month's order – And, the bonus will include some never-before-tried products like smoked pork tenderloin (we're just testing it and it is incredible!) and even some of our grass fed beef.
Prize #2: A Year Membership to Cooking Beyond Recipes
I'm so excited to announce that Chef Adrian has launched a new online membership where he shares recipes, cooking videos, his favourite kitchen tools and gadgets and more.
For years Adrian owned and operated a top farm-to-table restaurant here in the Fraser Valley and he hosted many in person cooking classes including many on our farm. Now he's taking those skills online.
One lucky member will win a year long subscription to Salt & Thyme's Cooking Beyond Recipes!
I joined recently myself and have been loving the content so I know it will make the perfect addition to your Ranch Club subscription.
Prize #3: Free Eggs For A Year
Drumroll please! Last up in our Ranch Club giveaway series is a year of eggs.
One lucky winner will snag a free dozen eggs with each of their Ranch Club orders for a full year.
While the last two prizes were open to current and new members, this one is only for those who've join Ranch Club during our Ranch Club refresh celebration. So if you want in, today's your last time chance to join.
No matter how you choose to feed your family, whether in store, online, or as a member of Ranch Club, we're just so happy to count you as a customer.
Your farmer, Kendall
