I received some of your items, they look delicious! How long will they stay fresh?

Some products have a “Best If Used By” date printed on the outside of the packaging. For these items, it is easy to tell when the item is at its very best. Other products have a Lot Code rather than a “Best If Used By” date. The Lot Code is a string of letters and numbers which usually indicates a date of manufacture, the plant, shift and period within the shift the product was made. Lot Codes are not decipherable by us.

Products with a Lot Code are best if consumed within two months of receipt. This applies to all edibles, excluding fruit, and it is assumed the product has been stored correctly and cared for properly (i.e. cheese, sausage, etc. stored in the refrigerator; bakery items stored in the freezer). Exceptions to this rule include shelf stable items such as our jarred preserves, our Pepper & Onion Relish or our vacuum-sealed Smoked Salmon. These items are safe for consumption (if unopened) for up to 2 years from receipt.
