ButcherBox

ButcherBox started in 2015 with a Kickstarter campaign that raised over $200,000, tapping into growing consumer demand for high-quality, humanely raised meat without the premium grocery store markup. The company has since grown to over $600 million in annual revenue, establishing itself as the leading meat subscription service in the US.

Company Mission

ButcherBox’s mission is to make high-quality, humanely raised meat accessible to more families. The company believes that knowing where your food comes from matters, and that animals raised responsibly produce better-tasting, healthier meat. Every product meets strict sourcing standards for animal welfare and environmental sustainability.

What Sets Them Apart

ButcherBox’s sourcing standards exceed typical grocery stores. Their beef is 100% grass-fed AND grass-finished, most “grass-fed” labels allow grain finishing, which changes fat composition and flavor. Chicken is certified organic and free-range with actual outdoor access. Pork comes from heritage breeds raised on pasture. All meat is free from antibiotics and added hormones.

The A+ BBB rating with accreditation and 4.2 Trustpilot rating across 1,477 reviews reflects reliable operations. For families prioritizing meat quality without the time to visit specialty butchers, ButcherBox delivers consistent quality at prices comparable to Whole Foods grass-fed options.
