Let me begin this review by explaining what ButcherBox is: ButcherBox is a monthly meat delivery service that delivers organic, antibiotic- and hormone-free cuts directly to your door. Their meat selection includes 100% grass-fed and grass-finished beef, free-range chicken, heritage breed pork, and wild-caught Alaskan sockeye salmon.

In this article, I will go through, in detail, the reasons why I recommend ButcherBox and why I truly believe it is worth the cost. The main topics I will discuss in this review are as follows: The benefits of eating grass-fed, organic meat, the quality of ButcherBox meat, the convenience of using ButcherBox, and my final recommendation and special discounts if you want to try ButcherBox for yourself.

ButcherBox Review: The Benefits of Eating Grass-fed, Organic Meat

Before I get into talking about ButcherBox, I am going to discuss the benefits of eating organic meat. I am a huge advocate of eating grass-fed, hormone-free. and ethically-raised meat instead of conventional, factory-farmed meat. It’s more humane, sustainable and it’s higher in quality – which means it tastes better and is also healthier to consume.

Unfortunately, it can be difficult to find organic, grass-fed meat. About 97% of the beef for sale in the USA is grain-fed and processed in feedlots. It is important to understand the difference between grass- and grain-fed meat, and the immense benefits of choosing grass-fed meat for health reasons.

Grass-fed meat contains more antioxidants, omega-3’s, vitamins and minerals than grain-fed meat. In addition, grass-fed meat production is better for the environment than grain-fed meat production. This is due to the fact that grass-fed beef production and finishing is actually beneficial to the environment, because it increases the biodiversity of pasture ecosystems, improves the quality of run-off water from well-managed pastures, and decreases greenhouse gas emissions.

ButcherBox Review: The Quality of ButcherBox Meat

The main reason why I love ButcherBox is because of the high quality of their meat. ButcherBox’s meat tastes delicious and all of their animals are humanely- and ethically-raised and naturally-fed. Here is some more information about the quality of their beef, chicken, pork, and salmon:

  • ButcherBox’s beef is 100% grass-fed and grass-finished and is free of antibiotics and hormones. Their cattle live their whole life on pasture and eat a natural diet of grass.
  • Their chicken is free-range, organic, and pasture-raised. It is certified humane, which means that the chickens are naturally-fed, have access to the outdoors, and have plenty of space to engage in natural behaviors.
  • ButcherBox’s pork is heritage breed and free of antibiotics and hormones. The pork is either pastured or meets the standards of being raised in open barns with room to move around.
  • Their Alaskan sockeye salmon is wild-caught and contains absolutely no artificial coloring, additives, hormones, or antibiotics. ButcherBox has partnered with fishermen who uphold strict fishing and handling practices to guarantee an unprecedented level of quality and sustainability.

ButcherBox Review: The Convenience of Using ButcherBox

As I mentioned earlier, there are huge benefits to consuming grass-fed, organic meat. However, it can be difficult to find organic, grass-fed meat. Even if you do have access to a reliable butcher or a good grocery store meat department, many people are constantly pressed for time and struggle to get household errands (like grocery shopping) done.

One of the biggest advantages of using a monthly subscription delivery service, like ButcherBox, is that you can shop from the comfort of your own home and get your products delivered straight to your front door. This is beneficial because it enables regular people to save time, simplify their lives, and allows them to spend their energy on other tasks and activities.

ButcherBox’s meat arrives frozen and individually vacuum-packed in an insulated, eco-friendly box. The price works out to less than $6 per meal and the shipping is always free. Additionally, ButcherBox gives you the option of either customizing your own box of up to 21 different cuts of meats, or you can choose the classic box that is curated for you, where you receive a new assortment of carefully selected meat each month.

ButcherBox Review: My Final Recommendation

After all is said and done, the most important question to ask is: Is ButcherBox worth the money? In my personal opinion, the answer is a resounding YES! I highly recommend ButcherBox and I truly believe it is well worth the price. It is a top-notch, reliable, and affordable meat delivery service.

If you have a hard time finding healthy, high-quality meat near you or if you want to save time by eliminating the need to regularly pick up your meat from the grocery store, then I highly recommend signing up for ButcherBox.
