10 Sorbet Flavors! Rotisserie Chicken! Honeycomb! FREE RANGE MEAT VLOG

What's going on guys? I'm pretty upset the chargeback thing is still an issue. You know, we spent all this time and trouble switching over to a new website and a new payment provider and as expected the chargebacks kept coming in. You know, we provided proof that the product was delivered to the customer that ordered it and they bank still sided with the customer. So, I guess we're going to amend our new payment provider and all the banks into the lawsuit. I think putting the Honestly, I really should have sued the bank sooner. I think as soon as these banks get notified that this business is suing them for chargeback fraud, they're going to stop siding with the customer because they are criminally wrong. So, I'm going to have to do that this week as soon as possible because that seems like the next step in stopping this fraud. And I don't want that to be the focus of this video. I'm going to do a separate video calling those people out. There's between like 40 and 50 new chargeback people. We're going to show their name, their address, the value of their home, and basically because it is a legal action and we've sued them in civil court, it's no longer doxxing because that person committed a criminal action that is now a matter of public record, we are able to show their name and their house without any issues. So, hopefully that deters these people. We've done that in the past. Apparently, it didn't deter them enough cuz that video is still live on YouTube, but we're going to do that separate because it's it's pretty long. It's probably 10 to 15 minutes of doing that and I don't really want to do it in this vlog, but we don't really have a crazy amount of stuff going on, but as always we do have new products. All the sorbet flavors are available now. I think we have 10 in total. Lemon, lime, orange, apple, kiwi, pineapple, raspberry, blueberry, blackberry, and strawberry. So, those are the 10 new sorbet flavors, all made from fresh fruit, very high quality, delicious texture. And uh my guys spent a lot of time making that stuff. It's all made with again, organic fresh fruit, organic sweetener honey, glass bottle mineral water, and it's packaged in glass. So, it's by far like the highest quality and tastiest sorbet selection that is organic that any business has ever done. And I'm honestly surprised that some New York City restaurants didn't start ordering in a bulk because I remember when I used to go out to restaurants, they'd have like these crappy sorbets for dessert and they'd be like two or three flavors, you know? In addition to those new sorbet flavors, which are really great for cooling you off, um and in the summer, you know, you're hot, you're sweaty, you're not really that hungry, so like I'll come home, I'll have like an apple, and then I'll have like a thing of sorbet, and that'll really cool you down. The sorbet really, really cools you down. Uh especially on a hot day, it's not a bad idea to, you know, get some ice packs and bring it with you for lunch. Um and on the contrary of that, if you're if you're cold and if you're or your normal body temperature, the sorbet will make you cold. So, it it's great for the hot weather. It's great when you're, you know, you're kind of hot and lethargic uh for cooling your body down. Um that is if you eat the whole thing. I guess if you eat half of it, I mean, if you eat half of it, it won't have as much of an effect of doing that, but if you eat the whole thing, it definitely helps you cool down. So, we also finally did the rotisserie ducks and rotisserie chickens. So, we have the new rotisserie uh gas grill over here, and it's really, really convenient when you can just buy uh fully seasoned and roasted bird that would normally take days and days of prep and many hours of cooking. So, those are really delicious. Uh I really like the duck. Um to me, tastier than the chicken, but either way those those ducks and those chickens will feed you for anywhere from three to six meals each bird. So, even if you're paying, you know, 40, 50, 60 dollars for a bird, you got to look at it like, "Okay, I'm getting quite a few meals out of this uh and a very high-quality, tasty, and convenient protein source." Um yeah, I guess we'll go take a look around. So, we're finally getting the potato chip equipment set up. Uh everything's kind of working. The only thing that's left to figure out is we're trying to get this bagging machine to work. Uh that's the that's the cute little logo I came up with for cattle chips. And I'd really like to use these bags cuz it's kind of crucial to the business. You know, it's important to have your name, your logo, professional bagging, but uh this Chinese machine is kind of a disaster, and we definitely can't afford an American machine, so we'll try to get it try to get it running. Honestly, should have probably just paid for a Chinese person to come over here and set up for me. Think we figured out where the last missing parts go, so try to get this chip machine set up this week. This goes here. This goes into that. Yeah, that's the last thing that needs to go somewhere here, and then we're good. We got the nitrogen on the back to go in in bags. Nitrogen is what they put professionally in chips to preserve them. Don't ask me how much money worth of beef fat is in there right now. Don't ask me. I almost had a stroke. As if I wasn't going broke already. There's about $7,000 worth of beef fat in this fryer. And this is small for industrial standards. We also got the pasta machine up and running. We're going to hopefully try that today. If my guys made the pasta dough, we'll try that now. We'll try a quick batch of pasta to see if it works. Two things we've been trying to do for a while. So, now I understand why even these companies that are now making beef tallow chips, I promise you it's not grass-fed beef tallow because it would be way too expensive. They could never afford to fill up their industrial machines with that much grass-fed beef tallow. Cuz if it cost me $8,000 to do that, I mean, I don't think I'm ever going to sell enough chips to pay for that beef tallow. That's insane. I got I I don't remember exactly how much it was. Um conser- at least $6,000, as much as $8,000. So, you know, you would assume that someone with a really big commercial potato chip frying machine could need 20 to 30 to 50 to 100 times that. So, you're talking who knows? It could cost those people a few hundred thousand dollars in beef fat as opposed to paying 10 or 20 grand for oil, you know? I mean, they're probably getting that oil dirt cheap. I don't know the commercial pricing for soybean or vegetable seed oils, but I'm assuming it's in the cents per pound. You know, they they'd be paying 10, 20, 30 cents a pound for that oil versus $3, $4, $5. You're talking, you know, hun- almost hundreds of times the the cost on that. So, it makes sense as to why it's not really available. Pretty much everything stock on Frankie's Naturals, all the new cleaning products. Same with Organ Supplements. We're running low on a few vitamin and mineral stuff on Organ Supplements. Maybe we can afford to restock that. Oh, the other the other new thing, so we have new sorbets, we have new rotisserie chicken stuff. We also have honeycomb. I put this in stock on the meat website and under the honey product. So, we have like a regular chunk of honeycomb. US honeycomb. And then we also have these honeycomb bites. Basically the same amount of honeycomb at the same price. But these are just like a little tinier packaging. So, whether you want to eat like the whole honeycomb at once or you want it packaged in like bite-sized portions. Uh both of these products are available on Frankie's Free-Range Meat under the honey. I was going to put it on the foods and the meat website, but I was just being lazy with the inventory cuz I'd have to split it and I don't really know which side's going to sell more, but you know, we have the the raw honey. And now on that, we didn't make separate products for the honeycomb. It's not a separate product. It's a drop-down arrow under the honey itself. What's also relatively new on the foods website is that uh bar we made. The What did we call it? Chocolate caramel cookie dough? Something like that. It's made with roasted macadamia nut butter, caramel, roasted caramel. Definitely the best tasting bar we've ever made. I guess we haven't sold that much of it yet. But this is definitely this is the newest bar we've had. Chocolate cookie dough caramel crisp. Really, really delicious. A lot more time went into the recipes. Whereas normally we just like kind of combine high quality ingredients at with different flavor profiles, this one we spent a lot more time trying to do it. And in addition to the crackadamia, uh we made some peanuts. So we took some raw organic Mexican peanuts, roasted them, shelled them, seasoned them, and then roasted them again. So uh I I I kind of like the crackadamia just as much, but I figured peanuts were really nostalgic, so and they're a lot cheaper. So if you guys want to try organic freshly roasted peanuts, that's also now available. Um the crackadamia is probably somewhere around here, but we don't we don't have a special label for those cuz it might be a one-time product. We'll see how much you guys like it, but it's the same thing as the crackadamia, you know. Obviously macadamia nuts are a lot more expensive. We've had these available, but if you're not allergic to peanuts and you do like the nostalgic flavor of peanuts, we have organic seasoned peanuts done the same way. Fresh dairy came in yesterday. Restocking that right now. All the fresh produce, haven't really been doing that much. Mostly free promotional stuff. Here we have our our rotisserie birds in our marinades. You know, really really high quality organic seasoning on them. Organic fresh herbs, organic sugar, organic salt and pepper. Actually, that might be organic honey in there, not sugar. Fresh batch of chocolate chip cookies. Uh I wanted to add a day to the sourdough fermentation, so we had to adjust the sugar uh because that the yeast will actually eat up all the sugar, so we had to add more of it. Here's the fresh rotisserie chickens. And there's the duck. There's the fresh rotisserie duck. Now, I like duck a lot more. To me, it's more flavorful. And it's a lot fattier. Um There there's a bit It is a little more expensive and there is more carcass waste. And and it's a lot harder to get that meat off. So, the chicken the chicken, you know, these types of broiler hens to me really falls apart. They're soft. They're tender. But, you know, it's not as fatty, not as flavorful as the duck, and definitely milder flavor and more approachable. So, both really delicious options. You get a lot of meals. And and those those uh chickens I was eating, guys, I would get the 2 and 1/2 lb chicken or the 2 and 1/2 lb duck and it would still last me three or four meals. So, if you get some of these larger birds, definitely [clears throat] make sure you have like a family to feed. Otherwise, make sure to keep it in the fridge so it doesn't go bad. Every week we get the fresh brains in from the slaughtered cows. Fresh local beef. Not that the raw tards care. They'd rather buy Whole Foods meat that's been pre- Looks like one of my auction finds finally paid off. I think I told you guys this was uh These are like 40,000 new. Of course, we had to buy our own refrigerant toolkit and learn how to fix it, but there is a slight refrigerant leak uh that we have to fix that's under the filter dryer. Uh for the purpose of getting these sorbets finished, we were able to just uh fill it up with gas every week. But, there's a leak like right under here. There's a leak right there. So, I got to try to melt that in. We got the got the brazing hook. This is 404A refrigerant gas. I want to show you the uh that company that sells a lot of refrigerant stuff, Viper, has this like this like blue spray bottle that has a very potent uh like leak finding solution in it. Like normally you mix up soapy water yourself, but the their formula they use, like the bubbles are so big, even if there's like a slight leak, you find it instantly. Like a lot of times people think, "Oh, it's just kind of a gimmicky product." But as soon as you spray that that whatever solution they came up with on that leak, it's just gigantic bubbles instantly. So, this is our our restock this week. You guys bought all the sheep ice cream. We actually have to make That got me thinking, we got to make some goat milk ice cream. All different goodies here. These are some Twix bars. That's the sheep vanilla ice cream. Lime sorbet, newest flavor. Sour This is sour, guys. Lime is Well, not too sour, but you know, lime lime is a sour fruit, so if you crave like sour candy, definitely try this. If you don't like sour, don't get it, but I mean, that's what I mean, same with lemon. Lemon's kind of acidic, you know? If you don't like acidic and try stuff, don't get lemon. Maybe we can alter that recipe and add more sugar and dilute it a little bit, but maybe we'll try that next time. That's the strawberry strawberry sorbet. We got some fresh donuts here, Oreo cookies. It's regular vanilla ice cream. Raspberry sorbet. Slight color difference there, you could see. Re- uh strawberry or no, raspberry. And what was that one? Strawberry. Raspberry. It is cold in here. It is very cold in here. Uh we just made a fresh batch of the vichyssoise. Uh some of you guys were asking me for it, it sold pretty quickly, so we just spent about $700 on fresh organic leeks. And here we have blueberry sorbet. Very unique. This is actually more expensive than all the other ones. This one's like $20 because blueberries are twice as expensive as every other fruit. But for the most part, all the other sorbets are around $10. The blueberry is the only expensive one. And some of them are even a lot cheaper. Like I think the strawberry or raspberry was like $8. So we have blackberry and blueberry. And I was thinking, "Hey, we'll just do a mixed berry sorbet." But I thought it'd be really unique and special because I've never heard of anyone making fresh organic fruit from blueberries or blackberries just because of their price. So what what that means is you have a very, very special and strong berry flavor that you've never tasted before. So really, really enjoyable, even more enjoyable than fresh fruit. So we have an amazing fresh sorbet selection now along with all of our pure sourdough products, freshly baked and freshly frozen for you guys. So that's what we've been working on these past few weeks. >> Yeah, I don't think there's too much else to talk about this week. We got quite a few new products in comparison to usual. Quite quite a few new products, you know? Usually it's a few here and there, but this week it's been quite a bit. You know, two rotisserie birds, four to five new sorbet flavors. We got honey. We got a lot of new stuff. I just I wasn't laying in bed 18 hours a day, but Uh Rodrigo, did you guys make the pasta dough or >> No today. >> No time? >> No. >> When do you want to do it? Wednesday? All right. All right, so we'll do the not doing the pasta today, so I guess we'll procrastinate that another week, but you know, it's not like you know, all the all these non-meat businesses we start, we don't really make too much money from them anyway, so I'm not too worried about it. But it would have been nice, obviously, if we had the pasta machine up and running when we got it, which was months and months ago. It would have been nice, but too bad. Uh I don't think I got too much else to talk about today. Just been trying to get a few things done that haven't really haven't really happened. You know, I've been telling myself for the past 3 weeks I'm going to get on this roof and uh replace all the all the all the leaking screws with side sized up ones, but been lying in bed instead, so maybe we should just hire someone to do it, which makes more sense anyway. Just for for liability stuff like that, being on the roof, I'd rather do it myself. Again, like you know. You don't want some random person falling off the roof. Or me falling off the roof for that matter, but if I need to, [snorts] I'll you know, I'll tie myself off with a harness. I'm I actually I was telling myself like most of that roof isn't dangerous, but I think for the dangerous part, I'm going to I'm going to buy the There's like these steel roofing boots that cost $200. And we have to kind of There's like a I forgot what it's called, but it's just like a It's like a It's like a a bolted in ring, and you tie yourself off to it. So, you're supposed to put that on the stud. We'll I'll wear a harness myself and do it the safe way for the end of that roof just in case something happens. We could also bring the scissor lift over and uh and put the scissor lift on the edge of the building just to be safe, but that might be a little overkill, although we have one. So, thank you guys for joining. Hopefully, we'll get this uh potato chip stuff running this week. We'll do the first test batch, and then uh we'll be able to uh make the pasta as well, so those are the next two things to be excited about. >> [panting] >> This ravioli machine, I might as well just tell the I might as well just tell the Italian people to send uh send the roller over because I'm just I haven't even I haven't really been haven't really been answering my emails. I've just been too tired lying in bed. And I got to like search around for quotes and try to get someone a different freight forwarder from Italy that's going to allow me to just save on the tariffs, but hasn't happened yet, so Yeah, cuz this this roof is leaking right here. All that water on the floor there it's leaking somewhere there. So, we're hoping We're hoping that if I replace all those screws up there, it stops leaking, but it's a lot of work. I thought it was just like two sections of roof. There's like six. So, I think it's like 15 to 20 hours, but it's it's a simple job. It's you know, just just same quarter-inch bit, pull the screw out, put a new screw in, but it's just kind of monotonous. And there were some There were a few wasp nests up there we got to we got to deal with. But that's it. Thank you guys for joining. Uh if you can please afford to support us. I don't know if we'll ever get this chargeback thing sorted out. Might have to go on a country road trip to everyone's house at this point. Call the local police in front of their doorstep. It's mostly Florida Florida's a really bad state. And California's a really bad state, but we'll do a separate video on that maybe this week. Calling all those people out.
