Food & meat delivery · Northumberland County
Northumberland is a lakeshore and a farm county at the same time. Cobourg and Port Hope sit on the 401 with everything close by. Get twenty minutes inland to Warkworth or Madoc and a proper shop is a decision, not an errand. Same run covers both.
Every bit of our meat is Ontario farm raised. Nothing shipped in from somewhere else, nothing bought on price alone.
In this county that lands differently. You already live among the farmland. You know what a working field looks like in February, and you’ve probably got an opinion about which side road has the better corn.
We’re not going to tell you our meat tastes better. Here’s a customer of twenty-odd years instead.
If you live in Cobourg you’re five minutes from a full grocery store. Live outside Warkworth or up past Madoc and a proper shop is a round trip, and doing it two or three times a week in the dark and the snow wears people down.
That’s the reason we hear most in this county, and it has nothing to do with food. One planned order takes most of those trips off the calendar.
Nobody in Port Hope or Brighton is short of places to buy groceries. What you don’t have is a price that stays still. Your unit prices are locked for 36 months from the day you sign, in writing, while the shelf tag keeps moving.
The other half of it is that the order gets built to the grocery budget you’re already spending, item by item, off your list. Nothing lands in your freezer that you didn’t choose.
More households out here already own a chest freezer than anywhere else we deliver, which normally means the whole order fits in one go instead of two.
If yours is already half full, say so before the order’s finalized rather than on delivery day. We can build smaller, break it into two deliveries, or supply a freezer at cost. The freezer space guide lays out which size holds what.
Steak thickness, roast size to suit your oven, ground beef in the pack size you’ll actually use, chicken whole or halved or portioned. You say it when the order’s planned, it goes on the order in writing, and everything’s cut and wrapped to match.
None of it costs extra.
Plenty of homes round here are two people most of the year and six at Christmas. An order built for the average of that suits nobody.
Say so while the plan’s being built. It usually means a mix of pack sizes, larger cuts for when there’s a crowd and single portions for the quiet weeks. Costs nothing to ask, and it’s the difference between food that gets eaten and food that sits.
These are places we already deliver to, not postal codes we hope to reach. Not on the list? Text your postal code to (705) 304-0080 and we will give you a straight answer either way.
Cobourg, Port Hope, Brighton, Colborne, Campbellford, Warkworth, Hastings, Roseneath, Trenton and Madoc, along with the smaller places between them. Text your postal code to (705) 304-0080 if yours isn't listed.
Out to the road. Our own delivery team carries the order in and puts it where you want it, and a rural address is normal rather than an exception.
Usually yes, if the space is there. Tell your Food Planner the size and roughly what's already in it and the plan is built around that number.
That's your call, and access isn't the argument. The two reasons people in Cobourg and Port Hope give us are a price locked for 36 months and an order chosen item by item rather than picked off a shelf.
You've 14 days from delivery under our Perfect-Fit Promise to tell us an item isn't right for your family and we replace it. Everything we deliver carries a 12-month quality guarantee.
We'll not name you a day, and anyone who does is guessing. The lakeshore towns and the inland ones sit on the same run but a long way apart, so the date depends on where the truck is that week and on your items being in and packed. Tell your Food Planner your preferred timing and the office confirms by text.
Yes. Steak thickness, roast weight, ground beef pack size, how it's wrapped. You give those instructions when the order is planned, they're written on it, and everything is cut and wrapped to match.
Yes. Someone needs to check the order against the delivery slip and sign for it. Our own driver brings it in, which on a rural address means to the house and not to the end of the lane.
Our loaner chart matches order size to freezer size and your Food Planner works from it rather than guessing. A lot of households in this county already have a chest freezer that covers it. If yours is half full, say so before the order is finalized.
