La Vaca Meat Co. Gifting Guide

A step-by-step walkthrough for how to gift an order from La Vaca Meat Co.!


Step 1: Browse Our Store and Fill Your Cart!

URGENT NOTICE: Last day to order online for 2023 delivery is Sunday, December 10!

Browse our selection of delicious meat - then add products to your online cart!

P.S. Not sure if your giftee would rather have roasts or steaks? We also have digital gift cards!


Step 2: Change the Shipping Zone using the Recipient's ZIP Code

Underneath the navigation bar on each page, there is a section that shows your cart total, your delivery day, and which Shipping Zone you'd like to send an order to.

On the far left side after the shipping zone, click (CHANGE) and input the recipients' ZIP code.

Hit Submit, and a popup will appear with the shipping options available for that ZIP code. Select the one you'd like!

Step 3: Start Check Out!

Got everything you need to gift in your cart? Let's check out! Either navigate to your cart and click Checkout, OR click the Checkout button in the navigation bar. Now we should be at the beginning of the checkout process.

Pick a preferred delivery date for your gift order - packages can be scheduled for delivery on any following Thursday, with the exception of federal holidays.

Next, update the Delivery Address for your gift recipient! You'll need the recipient's name and their full home address - we cannot deliver to P.O. boxes.

Step 4: Enter Important Gifting Info in the Comment Box, then Confirm Your Gift Order

Let us know your order is a gift in the comment box! If you'd like to include a note, simply write the note in the same box and we will include it.

Please note: All email notifications regarding your gift package will be sent to the email you used to make your La Vaca Meat Co. account, INCLUDING shipping updates. If you would like your recipient to receive shipping update emails, please specify that in the comment box at checkout.
