Freezer Clean Out Bingo - how to prepare for your meat delivery

Why do you need to reclaim freezer space before a meat delivery?

  • Your meat will arrive ready to be stored in your freezer on delivery day.

  • From my experience as Misses Farmer and being the grateful reciever of our farms meat for over 10 years, it is most helpful to have specific sections of your freezer emptied and ready for your meat delivery to be stored. I find it helpful to have freezer space organised in sections where I know where to find the beef or lamb or mince or sausages to help with quick and easy family dinners with meat from our farm.

  • Eating our your freezer makes defrosting your freezer easy, which also helps with reclaiming freezer space, as any build up of ice can be removed giving you back that space for storing your food.

  • It can take a few weeks to eat through a sizeable freezer to reclaim freezer space, so it is a great idea to get started now.

This is why we have decided to try something different.
