Reservation Terms Summary

Applying is free and does not create a reservation. An applicant must be an adult, have a New York City delivery address, be approved, sign the private agreement and make one cleared $9,999 payment. A numbered locker is assigned only after payment clears.

One grass-fed, grass-finished animal raised without antibiotics is dedicated to the locker after the written Animal Secured event. The Program includes processing under a USDA grant of inspection, the member cut sheet, package-level inventory, temperature-monitored commercial frozen storage, twelve scheduled NYC deliveries and Concierge Desk administration. The member does not own a live animal.

Approved applicants receive a private invoice after signing. Payment is made in full by bank transfer or wire and counts only after the bank or payment provider reports the complete amount received and available. An initiated, pending, failed, reversed or unauthorized transfer does not reserve a locker.

Payment is fully refundable on request until the supplier has accepted the order and payment, assigned an identified animal or documented animal from a defined lot to the locker, the USDA-inspected processing path is documented and the Animal Secured Notice is sent. A complete automatic refund also applies if the current cohort of ten does not fill by the close date or Pasture Reserve cannot confirm the written sourcing, processing, storage or delivery standard. Required refunds are initiated to the originating account within two business days.

Approximately 400 lb of packaged beef is the planning target, not a guaranteed net weight. Final cuts, weights and package counts vary by animal, butcher, cut sheet, trim, aging, inspection and processor. Premium cuts are finite, and selecting one use can replace another use of the same section. Returned bones and specialty parts are finite, recorded separately when available and excluded from the packaged-beef planning target.

Finished packages are held at 0°F or below in temperature-monitored commercial frozen storage and entered from the real processor packing list. Lot identity is maintained. If the dedicated inventory is lost, spoiled, recalled or cannot safely be delivered, the private agreement provides the Program-failure refund unless the member knowingly accepts another written remedy.

The first-delivery window opens September 1, 2026; it is not a guaranteed same-day delivery date. The Program includes twelve scheduled monthly NYC deliveries. Monthly boxes generally plan toward 30–36 lb but reconcile to the real finite inventory. A member may request up to two additional deliveries in a month with at least five days' notice, drawn from that same inventory. Any later locker year requires a new written agreement.

Members keep delivery information current, provide timely cut and delivery instructions, arrange safe delivery access, inspect packages promptly, freeze delivered packages and follow package labels and government food-safety guidance. The Program makes no medical or nutritional promise and is for household use, not resale.

Events outside reasonable control may shift sourcing, processing, inspection, storage transfer or delivery timing. They do not permit an undisclosed animal substitution, unsafe delivery or avoidance of the promised Program-failure refund. A material change requires written communication; silence is not acceptance.

Pasture Reserve may pause a delivery in response to a supplier, processor, warehouse, carrier, regulator, label, temperature-record or product concern. Members agree to follow written hold, return or disposal instructions. Non-waivable food-safety rights remain intact.

The private agreement authorizes a transfer to a New York LLC controlled by the sole proprietor only if that LLC assumes every fulfillment and refund obligation in writing. The transition cannot change the locker number, price, funds balance, refund rights, delivery window or service standard.

Program notices and documents may be delivered electronically. Personal information is used to review and perform the locker service, maintain required records, prevent fraud and comply with law; it is not sold. The private agreement permits electronic signatures and PDF counterparts.

The private draft contains a conventional limitation for ordinary contract damages, with express exceptions for promised refunds, fraud, willful misconduct, gross negligence, personal injury, food safety, payment-information misuse and rights that cannot lawfully be limited. It does not waive non-waivable consumer protections.

The private draft uses New York law and a fourteen-day good-faith written resolution period before ordinary litigation. It does not mandate arbitration or waive lawful class or representative actions. Available New York City courts, including small-claims court, remain available.

The signed private agreement, accepted application materials, numbered invoice and any later signed amendment form the complete reservation documents. The private agreement controls over this public summary.
