The Best Meat Subscription Boxes for Carnivores
WiredThe first reason ButcherBox earned our top spot is the packaging, which was much sturdier than several other boxes we tried. While humane-washing is a real thing and ButcherBox does not disclose the names of specific farms it works with, it offers third-party oversight, like Certified Humane and USDA Organic certification. Custom allows you to choose specific cuts and proteins, and each box comes in a Classic size and Big, which could be up to 22 pounds of meat. If you’ve never had grass-fed beef, it can be a little more gamy and not quite as tender or marbled as other high-end steaks; one tester said the ribeyes were quite gamy, and I found the steak tips to be noticeably gristly in tacos. Overall, this is a convenient and fun way to stock a family’s freezer with meat more responsibly sourced and less subject to the pricing vagaries in your local supermarket.
