How is the food packaged?

Most items (apart from wine) in your order are refrigerated, so they will be cold when picked up. They will be packages in boxes and sometimes bags. Please keep refrigerated until time of use (cold food should be held at 40°F/4.4°C or colder). Be sure to allow time for reheating each dish before your meal. Many of our dishes can be reheated right in the packaging while others require a separate pot or pan. See cooking and reheating instructions here for details. 

My turkey / poultry has got some quills/feathers still on it. What do I do?

Because we believe it matters how animals are raised, all our poultry is naturally reared and this means sometimes there are the occasional feather or quill. You can simple remove these with scissors.
