They ship everywhere:

And they have deliveries in these states:

They've got some novel proteins & items not easily obtainable at other places--like pancreas for EPI treatment--and their prices are pretty nice.

I was reading more about that company and I saw this:

When I am a bit less tired, I may compare their prices (company info)... to the place I just received an order from.  :)

The average prey animal has about 10% to 15% bone, about 10% organs, and the rest muscle and fat and connective tissue.  That is Mother Nature's model and therefore our model ratio for all of our Whole Ground products.

The labels on their whole grinds (for cats) state, "This all natural product has no additives and therefore does not meet AAFCO requirements for a complete diet." 

I'm thinking (uh oh), they HAVE to say that...Food vs Feed type of a thing.  With their products being 80/10/10... they actually are complete and balanced. Correct?

JUST to be sure...  now that the Hare-Today ratios made me paranoid.

This is info from their ground turkey:
Quote
This grind is 40% turkey legs, 40% turkey wings, 10% turkey gizzards & 10% turkey livers.

Do I understand correctly that is is 100% (as is) okay for cats and dogs?

Never mind.  They don't allow FedEx Ground 3 Day shipping to me.

It's not actually telling you how much bone is in that 80% of legs and wings.

and then that's 20% organ meat.

I don't count hearts as organs, but I do count gizzards as organs.

Without the weights, there's no really telling how much there is of meat, bone & organ.

Gizzards and hearts are usually considered muscle meat.  Organs refers to secreting organs, e.g. liver, pancreas, spleen, brain, kidney.  But DeeDee makes a good point about not knowing how much bone is in the legs and wings.

I'll have to change that up then. I was told that gizzards were organs too.

I put in my first order today.  I had to "sign" that I was willing to risk the possibility of slight or complete thawing, before they would agree to ship to me via Fed Ex Ground (3 business days). 
I asked them a bazillion questions about their packaging.  They use the same kind of packaging (styrofoam, dry ice, etc) that Hare Today does.  My orders always arrive frozen, so I should be good.    fingerscrossed

Order arrived!  I am SOOOOOO excited.   Silly7

Their shipping rules are:
Quote
We do not ship west of the Mississippi River other than 2nd-Day Air/3-Day Select (unless you state in the Customer Comment Section of the check-out process that you understand that moderate to thorough thawing will occur and you are still willing to have the order shipped by FedEx Ground).
We do not ship to UT, NV, WA, OR or CA by any method other than 3-Day Select OR 2nd Day Air.

I "signed,"  so I could pay for Fed Ex Ground shipping.  MUCH cheaper than the other options. 

I was a bit nervous.  I have had no issues with Hare Today meats or Rad Cat.  But...their "warning" made me nervous.  Is their packaging that much different, that it COULD be a risk?   :-\
I emailed them a bazillion questions, and then took the "risk."

Product arrived frozen SOLID!  However...
I ordered to fill a container.  The fuller a box, the slower to thaw.
They wrap each container individually.
All product is "wrapped" again (all together) inside a heavy duty plastic bag.
Packing peanuts were also included.
They do add dry ice, but it completely gone. 
Each shipping box is lined with styrofoam...sides, top, and bottom.

Attached is the travel time for anyone west of the Mississippi, that may have reservations about ordering.  Keep in mind that product was exposed to VERY warm weather conditions and a non-air conditioned FedEx truck for long periods of time. 

I can't imagine the cats or dog not liking it.  I am THRILLED to be able to add another source of raw to our rotation.   party1

PS
I forgot to mention that I also ordered liver chunks to add to our Hare Today mixtures.  Hubby will get the grinding job.  :)
