The Butcher Box reviews are in! If you wonder about the prices, quality, and even what comes in a box, keep reading! My family has used ButcherBox for several years, and we love the quality of the meat.
It’s been a few years since I first tried ButcherBox. At the time, I was a huge skeptic about buying grass-fed meat online. I was even more so unsure if it was possible while trying to work within a budget. That’s why it took me nearly four months and two full-size sample boxes to fall in love with the company and their monthly subscription service.
A lot has changed since I first purchased my subscription, so I wanted to provide even more insight for you in this updated Butcher Box review, so you can decide whether or not it’s a good fit for your family!
Before I dig in, I need to share some personal back story on how and why we landed on Butcher Box in the first place.
CAN YOU EAT TOO MUCH CHICKEN?
For the first 8 years of my marriage, 80% of our meat consumption was chicken. This was fine by me because chicken is cheap. I’ve seen whole free-range chickens marked down to as little as $3. This was also because my husband doesn’t like ground beef. Even the Best Burgers Ever.
It’s a texture thing, and it overlaps into fish and pulled meat, too, with Slow Cooker Carnitas being a huge exception; he requests that one often! But as we’ve learned more about our bodies and the role that food and supplements play, I’m starting to wonder if you can eat too much chicken…
My husband and I started taking a B-complex vitamin, primarily for the B12. He took it to help manage his nervousness and I took it to help with cognitive function and focus. It was a light bulb moment for both of us. We felt so much better!!
And then it dawned on me – if we felt relief from a supplement, we probably weren’t getting enough B12 in our diet. But why? We don’t eat processed food and have been consistently preparing whole foods for several years at this point! I did some research and found that the best source of B vitamins is animal protein. Here’s a quick rundown of the top vitamins for the major meat groups:
- Vitamin B1: Pork
- Vitamin B3: Chicken, Beef, Fish/Seafood
- Vitamin B6: Chicken, Beef
- Vitamin B12: Pork, Beef, Fish/Seafood
- Phosphorus: Chicken
- Zinc: Pork
Do you see what I see? Since we ate a balanced diet all around– omitting pork, beef, and fish– it still meant we were completely missing three of the best sources for B12! In the same way that we need a variety of vegetables for all their nutrients, we need a variety of meats!
HOW DOES BUTCHERBOX WORK?
If you’ve never heard of ButcherBox before, let me give you the chips and salsa version:
- ButcherBox is a meat delivery service. They are neither a farm nor an online grocery store. Instead, they work with a group of family farms and cooperatives in order to bring grass-fed beef, heritage breed pasture-raised pork, organic chicken, and wild-caught seafood to your front door every month.
- When you join, you choose the type of box you want to get:
- Mixed Box
- Beef & Pork Box
- Beef & Chicken Box
- All Beef Box
- Custom Box that lets you choose specifically what cuts of meat you want each month.
- Choose between two box sizes: Classic Box (9-14 lbs of meat for about 24 meals) or Big Box (18-26 lbs of meat for about 48 meals).
- You can change your order each month, so you’re never locked into one type of box.
- Throw in any add-ons if you’d like (an add-on would be a one-off item, like a package of uncured sugar-free bacon or 1 pound of boneless pork chops, or even seasonal items like ham for Easter or corned beef for St. Patrick’s Day!).
You choose what package of meat you’d like, the frequency (how often) you want the box delivered (either every month or every other month), and then choose any add-ons if you’d like.
Read more about how Butcher Box works and pricing on their website.
HOW MUCH DOES BUTCHERBOX COST?
If you check out their site, Butcher Box prices their boxes by meals, where 6oz equals one meal. This makes their pricing look a little different than the per pound price I’m sharing here. Some families eat more meat per meal, and some eat less. Keep this in mind as you decide whether or not Butcher Box is right for you!
This is a frugal food blog, and no honest ButcherBox review can get away without discussing the numbers.
- The Classic Box is $149 (9-14lbs of meat with an average of $10.64 to $16.55 per pound.)
- The Big Box is $270 (18-26lbs of meat with an average of $10.38 to $15 per pound.)
Yes, I know this sounds pricey. $11-16 for ONE pound of meat is nothing to scoff at, especially when you’re struggling to pay the bills AND put food on the table. However, it is VERY possible to eat healthy food without going broke. My family and I are living proof, and that’s why I started this blog.
Your own real food priorities might not include organic grass fed beef. Right now, you may be looking for the cheapest cuts of chicken you can possibly find. And that’s okay.
To learn how my family affords Butcher Box on a budget, read this post. I dig into how I can make my meat cost $10 per pound or LESS from ButcherBox. For example, choose larger cuts of meat (like whole chicken over boneless skinless chicken breast). Or join when their sign on offer is something you’ll use most (like free bacon, free ground beef, or free NY Strips).
A few other things to note:
- Butcherbox always offers free shipping.
- You can choose a monthly subscription or every other month.
- If you’re still working through your last box, you can delay your subscription by one month.
- You can cancel your subscription at any time.
- Their customer service is SUPER helpful and happy to address any issues you may have.

THE QUALITY OF BUTCHER BOX MEAT
Butcher Box meats fall into three main categories – beef, chicken, and pork – to bring you the very best. The quality of the meat is pretty impressive, if I do say so myself!
- 100% Grass-fed and Grass-finished Beef. The cattle are humanely raised, live their entire life on pasture, and are never given antibiotics or hormones. They eat a natural diet of grass, and they may be given silage or hay if the weather prevents them from grazing.
- Organic and Free-Range Chicken. The free-range birds spend most of their lives foraging in the field with plenty of room to move around and interact with other chickens. Thanks to all this exercise, these birds will naturally be leaner than conventional chicken.
- Heritage Breed Pork. The breeds of pork that Butcher Box sources have been specifically chosen for their rich color and marbled texture. There is no tail docking, and the animals are either on pasture or raised in open barns with bedding and space to engage in natural behaviors as if they were outside.
We think their ground beef, rib-eyes, top sirloin, NY strip, pork loin, and pork chops are absolutely amazing. They have THE BEST pork chops you will ever taste in your entire life. Every time I make them, I think that they’re worth the entire subscription alone! But since we’ve been Butcher Box subscribers for a few years now, I’ve also been able to try a few new cuts of higher quality meat:
- Salmon. Their wild salmon comes in 2-pound bags, with several pre-cut filets inside. Both my son and I LOVE salmon, so the two of us made a simple sheet pan-style dinner. Very tender and flavorful and we both wished we had made more so we could have seconds!
- Lamb Roast. The lamb roast was so, so good…incredibly tender, absolutely delicious, and the one roast was WAY MORE than enough for the four of us. We had so much leftover that I froze it, and we enjoyed lamb tacos for many, many nights!
- Turkey. I was super nervous to cook the Thanksgiving turkey last year, partly because I had never done it before, but also because I didn’t want to screw up cooking a pastured turkey! I followed a tried-and-true recipe and my husband’s entire family raved about how delicious the turkey was. And I admit, it was some of THE BEST turkey I’ve ever had!
- Ribs. My husband was a skeptic about their ribs and thought they couldn’t be better than the ribs we buy from Costco. Butcher Box proved him wrong! I’ve used the ribs from Butcher Box to create my Slow Cooker Ribs recipe, and they turn out perfect every single time.
- Ground Pork. I’ve heard from several people that finding natural, humanely raised ground pork locally is hard, but I don’t have that issue now that Butcher Box offers it in their monthly boxes! Nine times out of ten, we use the ground pork to make Homemade Breakfast Sausage. The 10th time we make Egg Roll in a Bowl and chow down on that!
After our first few boxes, my husband and I both agreed that if were able to make it work with our budget, we’d definitely consider Butcher Box to source our meat. I decided I’d focus on beef and pork since I can get good deals on organic chicken locally. And we figured out how to make it fit into our budget!
DOES BUTCHER BOX MEAT TASTE GOOD?
This is probably the most important question of all the Butcher Box reviews: but does the Butcher Box meat actually taste good?
The beef and pork from ButcherBox are absolutely delicious. I’ve purchased “natural” pork from the grocery store and every time it was tough and chewy. The pork from Butcher Box was nothing like that. Every pork chop was beyond tender, and it made me wonder why we didn’t eat pork more often!
Eating the steaks felt like a huge splurge for us since we don’t eat whole steaks at home often. We split two steaks for dinner to help stretch the meat, but they were so good that both Mr. Crumbs and I wished we had a whole steak to ourselves!
These same thoughts run through my head every time we try their meat…we’ve had their ground beef, rib-eyes, top sirloin, NY strip, pork loin, pork chops, and salmon. Every time, it has been very, very good. The whole chicken was also good, but because we’re committed to buying organic chicken anyway, we didn’t notice much of a difference.
BUTCHER BOX REVIEWS: THINGS I LIKE ABOUT BUTCHERBOX
A few things have changed since I shared my original review, but they’re for the better, making ButcherBox one of the best companies I’ve worked with.
YOU CAN CHANGE YOUR MONTHLY BOX CATEGORY
You now have the option to change your monthly box. I don’t know if I missed this initially, but when I reached out to Butcher Box and asked them to put one month on hold because I had beef coming out of my ears, they told me I could switch my box to something else!
This is perfect for keeping our freezer stocked with grass-fed beef, organic chicken, and heritage breed pork. I can balance our monthly grocery budget AND the need for more or less meat, depending on what’s going on in any given month.
CLASSIC BOX AND CUSTOM BOX COST THE SAME
The Classic Box is the same price as the Custom Box. The Classic Box used to cost $20 less than the Custom Box. At first glance, you might see this as a negative. I see this as a HUGE positive! That means that you can pick and choose the exact cuts of meat you want without having to pay more to do it!
A custom curated box is perfect for picky eaters (like my husband). Or for when you need a specific cut for your meal plan. This is one of the key elements to make ButcherBox worth the cost!
YOU GET AN EMAIL ABOUT YOUR SHIPMENT BEFORE IT’S PROCESSED.
I LOVE getting an email at the end of each month reminding me about my order that’s about to process. This gives me a chance to check my freezer to see what I’m low on, to check my meal plan to see what I need and to check my family calendar to see what upcoming guests or parties we have planned. I can log in on my own, update my order, and then have everything I need when it arrives on my doorstep.
THE PACKAGING HAS CHANGED, AND IT WORKS!
Getting high quality meat from point A to point B WITHOUT sacrificing the quality or integrity of the meat can be a challenge. Butcher Box has stepped up to the plate! While the insulated bags they originally used were cute, they didn’t always get the job done.
Instead, they switched to insulated boxes, so when you open the box, the entire box is insulated with 1” thick material. On top of that, there is a significant amount of dry ice inside that insulation so that your meat arrives cold and safe, according to FDA standards. Even with the old packaging, my meat has never arrived completely thawed.
However, the new packaging means my meat is rock solid frozen, every time!
BUTCHERBOX HAS UPPED THEIR GAME IN EDUCATION
As you can imagine, there are a lot of rumors and misinformation when it comes to meat and temperatures and safety concerns. For example:
- It is perfectly safe to refreeze food that has been thawed in the refrigerator, WITHOUT cooking it first.
- If food is partly frozen, as cold as if it were in a refrigerator (40 °F), and still has ice crystals, it is safe to refreeze or use!
You may have heard otherwise from your grandmother, but it’s simply not true! I love that ButcherBox has taken the initiative to educate their customers on what is considered safe and not safe, according to FDA standards.
They now send a super helpful infographic each month via email after your order processes. There’s also an insert in your actual monthly delivery.
BUTCHERBOX HAS INVESTED IN CUSTOMER SERVICE
I know first-hand how important customer service is, and that’s why I personally brought YOUR concerns to ButcherBox last year. In turn, they hired a new customer service manager and drastically reduced response time.
Your concerns trickled up the chain, too. They’re planning to open two new distribution centers to help reduce transit time for hard-to-reach states.
I know that companies are run by humans and humans make mistakes, but I love that ButcherBox isn’t sweeping them under the rug. They acknowledge them and make plans to fix them in the best interest of the customer. I’m not sure if customer service gets any better than that!
IS BUTCHER BOX A GOOD DEAL?
I’ll be the first to admit that ButcherBox isn’t for everyone. Depending on where you are in this season, you might not be concerned about quality. Or perhaps you’re working on health issues and quality now tops the list of priorities. It’s entirely up to you, but I hope this Butcher Box review helps if you feel on the fence.
BUTCHERBOX IS GOOD FOR THOSE WHO…
- Are concerned about the quality of the meat they’re eating. Quality is extremely important to ButcherBox, so that’s what they’re going to give you.
- Cannot find a local source for grass-fed beef, pastured pork, and/or organic chicken. I have friends who live nowhere near a farm and have very limited grocery store options as it is. For them, ButcherBox is a blessing because they wouldn’t have access to this quality of meat otherwise!
- Enjoy having someone else shop for them. Not everyone enjoys grocery shopping and with a ButcherBox subscription, you can eliminate “meat” from your list every single month.
- Enjoy nicer cuts of meat. Your monthly subscription will by default include cuts of meat you likely wouldn’t be able to afford otherwise – that’s a good thing!
BUTCHERBOX IS NOT GOOD FOR THOSE WHO…
- Can get grass-fed beef, pastured pork, and organic chicken from a local source. I can consistently get grass-fed ground beef from Costco for $4.99/lb. I can even find it marked down to $3.99 at Kroger or Walmart! But I have never seen any other cuts of grass-fed beef in local grocery stores.
- Need to be more focused on the budget rather than the quality of meat. Everyone will be in this season at some point in time and there’s no way around it. If you are not in a place to financially afford ButcherBox, then say no for right now.
- Like to know exactly what they’re getting every month. If you’re particular about the meat you need for your meal plan, this might not be a good fit UNLESS you choose the Custom Box.
IS BUTCHERBOX WORTH IT?
I personally am a VERY happy and satisfied customer and have been for quite some time now. If you’re looking for high quality beef, pork, and chicken, I highly encourage you to give ButcherBox a try!

Because of a similar concern, I have done some research on this topic. According to my google searches and a discussion with my father (who used to be a butcher), it is my understanding that this leaking is often the result of the package cracking during the freezing then thawing processes.
I always thaw my meat on a dish with only like meats so there is no mingling of juices.
K Koury
I love the quality and convenience of Butcher Box. Below are a few things I do to improve the affordability.
1. Bake your Bacon, Save the fat for cooking Bacon Fat is great for cooking and as long as it comes from a high quality source (like Butcher Box) it is full on nutrients and good for you. This isn’t something I would do with grocery store bacon, toxins are often stored in the fat and poor quality meats tend to have poor quality fats.
1b, When I cook a pork roast for pulled pork, whatever juices aren’t mixed back in are then separated so I have a nice stock and I pour the fat into a jar and place in the fridge for cooking.
2a. Save your bones and make home made stock (i know this one was mentioned in the posting).
2b. I often cook my roast in the crock pot and save the broth for soup.
3. Take advantage of recurring monthly add-ons and ever changing member specials. These tend to be at a much better price point, and more comparable to what you find at the grocery store. Examples include ‘Bacon blast’ 10 packages of bacon for $40′. I reduced the frequency of my deliveries to bi-monthly plan and have lots of add-ons and specials.
5. Take advantage of ‘for life’ offers. Several months back there was a promotion, I paid ~$30 to receive 2lbs of ground beef with every box for the life of my membership. They are currently offering a similar offer for Bacon, if you sign up during the promotional period.
All the best,
Tiffany
These are fantastic ideas K – thank you for sharing with us!

I really enjoyed reading your blog about BB. I also enjoyed reading others comments about them and your informative answers!
I just received my first BB meat package, it was well packaged and when opened it I was pleasantly surprised to see the meat still frozen! I fixed my first meal last night using the sirloin tips, yum it was very tender and flavorful. I got the big box of mixed meats I look forward to seeing of the rest are is good, but my first impression is that it’s very good quality. I plan to continue my subscription with them, and I’m delighted to have good quality meat delivered toy door every month!
Jennifer
Thank you so much for your review. Especially since on the Butcher Box website, you have to put in your email address before you can even so much as look at what they offer. And personally, I don’t want to be subscribed to their email advertising just to investigate what they have. Thank you for saving me from that! I’m planning on doing Whole30 in May and now have some idea of price-point that I can compare at the Natural Grocers and Whole Foods for the cuts of meat I want to purchase. 🙂
Tiffany
You’re very welcome Jennifer! Good luck on your Whole30!! There are several posts here on the blog, if you need help doing it on a budget. 🙂
ted agens
one hold up for me on the marketing. They are located in Massachusetts, right? Well as a fellow north easterner, how are they getting “fresh grass” year long? even without any snow, the grass is still dead at least 5 months at of the year? and, yes, there is hay, but that is not ‘fresh grass’. thanks
Tiffany
Hi Ted! The company is based out of Massachusetts, but not all of animals are raised there. They work with farmers outside of the direct area as well.
Christian S
I tried this for a couple of months. I found the packaging to be a problem. I thought I had somehow poked holes into the package but it seems I had several items that came that way. I’m single, so it’s just me in the freezer. I only used about 40% of what I received after 2 deliveries. When I canceled online one of the reasons I could select was packaging which makes me think they are aware of it.
I’m not accusing anyone of doing something wrong but after I defrosted in the fridge a few items and had a plate full of juice I realized the problem. I found a few other packages in the freezer had small holes and I tossed it all to be on the safe side.
If they are aware of this issue I hope they find a way to correct it.
Your site is awesome for information! Keep it up.
Tiffany
Thanks for sharing Christian! By the way, if the meat is kept above 40F, holes won’t make it go bad. 😉
Jennifer B
Love your honest review!! I live in a very small town in west Texas and I’m a ButcherBox member. A drive to the closest big town is an hour away, so I appreciate that I can receive quality meat once a month delivered right to my door. I also feel better supporting a system that is supporting farmers with cleaner practices.
Tiffany
I can totally see how this would help you out Jennifer. I’ve driven through West Texas a few times and there’s not a lot out there. How wonderful to have this delivered to your door!
Joanna Prisiajniouk
BB really needs to offer more bacon as an order or offer for free with an order for life…seriously.
Elenor
Aw geez… now you folks are making me reconsider.
I LOVE bacon, but hate the splatter and mess of cooking it, so I do without (for like, ten years now?!)… But-then, everyone saying how amazing BB’s bacon is and it’s tempting me!! I’ve added the scallops and bacon special to my next order (and-August), so I’ll get to try the bacon…. Oh dear, this MAY be a mistake … I may need to start dealing with way more splattering than I want to…
Tiffany
Hey Elenor – you can bake bacon in the oven to avoid the splatter. 😉 https://dontwastethecrumbs.com/how-to-cook-bacon-in-the-oven/
Tim SNEED
Hi Tiffany, thanks to your review I signed up for Butcher Box. I saw them on Facebook but was a little suspicious about it so I thought I should look for some reviews of it! I hope you didn’t let me down! 🙂
Tiffany
I only share products I personally use and love (and pay for out of my own pocket!), so I hope you love them too!!
Stephanie Gagos
Confused, that’s a box come every week or every month. So is it when 129 per week or month? Thanks for your review.
Tiffany
Hi Stephanie! The prices are based on a monthly subscription. You’re very welcome!
Hermon Partridge
FYI BB does not give you the free bacon anymore. Now they give you 2lbs. of Wild Alaskan salmon, they did honor the $20 off your first order. I grew up on a farm and we raised our own beef, pigs and chicken and we would prepare them for the butcher they were raised on grasses and no antibiotics or hormones. Of course back then not much of that stuff in feeds yet so meat was very tasty. Looking forward to my first order I’ll let you know what I think about service and taste of my order. Thanks for everyones input.
Tiffany
Hi Hermon! Every order comes with a pack of bacon, but you’re right – the current promotion is 2lb of Salmon. I’ll make sure we update this post with the most current information!
Deborah
I ordered my first Butcher Box for the holidays and have to say the ham was outstanding!! I’m used to buying organic higher quality meats but often find it difficult to find higher quality pork. Wow, what a difference!! I haven’t tried the beef yet but the ham alone was a huge selling point for me. I also really wanted both grass fed and grass finished beef so eager to see if I notice a difference. Thanks for the info in your article, much appreciated!
Tiffany
You’re very welcome Deborah! Just wait until you try the pork chops – GAME CHANGER!
Matt Wheeler
We ordered the Butcher Box large beef box just before Christmas. The delivery was delayed several days so I contacted the company and they checked and there was no UPS delivery date available in the system. Butcher Box immediately shipped another box to us for no charge. Two days later, I received the original order. All the dry ice was gone and most of the beef was a little thawed out. We tried some of the ground beef and it was delicious. We are still waiting on the second box but since Butcher Box treated us right, I just changed my order to the large custom box of beef, pork, and chicken. I look forward to a long-term relationship with Butcher Box….. Again, please note that they were very responsive and professional in dealing with my first order!
Tiffany
We love Butcher Box Matt, and I’m so happy you’ve had a great experience with them as well!
Dan
One clarification I’d like to make in that you describe “BB” as being “grass fed”, when they’re “grass finished” beef.
I learned there’s a difference between the two in that YouTube channel host Thomas Delauer states the difference is that one can start feeding cows grass but at the end “finish” with grain, to include GMO, and still be correct in their description on being Grass fed. The grain is used to fatten the cow up. Hence the name “grass finished”.
Thank you for your review and valued input in that we can hav save money by purchasing the items that are available locally. This isa good point.
Another thing that lead me to try BB was whether their grass Finished beef had a gamey taste. I just got my order and will find out shortly. I purchased some grass fed beef from my local Wholesale meat distributor and the meat from New Zealand was gamey and my wife didn’t like it. I didn’t mind though… I was told this can vary from ranch and the type of grass the herd grazes on.
Tiffany
Hey Dan! BB is actually grass-fed AND grass-finished. You’re right that there’s a difference!
Angela
We love Butcherbox!
However, the Butcherbox company is launching Smoothiebox. Their smoothies are TERRIBLE (and I don’t eat sugar), they messed up my first order, and customer service is unhelpful.
Don’t waste your money on Smoothiebox, but Butcherbox is worth it.
Tiffany
I appreciate this Angela! I haven’t tried their Smoothiebox yet, but hopefully it’s the jitters of launching something new!
Mary Katherine
I’ve received a few packages of meats that seemed more “thawed” than they should in the past. However, this past month I noticed they upgraded their insulation with stuff that was well over an inch thick. Everything was frozen solid, and this was a HUGE upgrade from their previous packaging. I highly doubt customers will have this issue anymore as it appears that they have resolved it.
Like another reviewer said “quality over quantity,” this costs more (for less), but you can’t beat the quality. It’s worth it for us and we enjoy the product.
Tiffany
Hi Barbara! Several weeks ago I contacted Butcher Box with several of the issues mentioned in the comments in this post (not just yours), and their customer service team specifically reached out to every single person I was able to give them information on. If you haven’t already, please contact Butcher Box with ANY issues you might have. I’ve spoken to their customer service lead and improving their customer relations is one of their top priorities.
They also told me that they are “[improving and tweaking] issues through a multi-pronged approach – adjusting dry ice amounts, which was especially important during the summer, adding line hauls to get product to hard to reach locations faster, and responding to customers faster.”
As you know, they cannot control FedEx and sometimes boxes are at the very end of a long delivery route, but they are working on making customers happy even when these situations arrive.
I personally purchased a subscription to Butcher Box and my last box came still halfway full with dry ice and everything was frozen solid – so much so, that I had to put on my kitchen oven mitts to handle everything because it was so cold!
With all this said, I understand if Butcher Box isn’t right for you, but do know that they are not ignoring customers and are constantly seeking to improve the way they do business so that we as customers can continue to receive incredibly high quality meat! ♥
Liz
I’m so sorry you went through that. I had a slightly different experience. When one of my shipments was completely defrosted and warm (not sure if the box was damaged prior to/during shipping, or the ice was actually inadvertently omitted in packing), I received a new shipment very promptly. While the CSR was in a state of disbelief, as was I, they did rectify the situation immediately, which was the deciding factor for me continuing with this subscription.
Steve
Tiffany-
I’ve read the reviews as well as your article and I question the math involved.
You mention, regarding cost, that the average cost of the meat is $7.75-$9.00 per pound. You also state “Each package comes in two different sizes: Classic (9-14 lbs of meat for about 24 meals) or Big (18-26 lbs of meat for about 48 meals).Mixed Box / Beef & Pork / Beef & Chicken / All Beef: $129 for a Classic Box, $238 for a Big Box.”
“Depending on what is in your box, it comes out to $7.75 – $9 per pound.”
Let’s do the math. Let’s assume I buy the Classic Box and get a full 14 pounds of meat. My cost is $129 or $9.21 per pound (above the high end of your stated average). If I get the low end on the weight (9 lbs) that comes to $14.33 per pound!! It doesn’t get much better going to the Big Box where 26 pounds would cost $9.15 per pound and 18 pounds would cost $13.22 per pound!!
Tiffany
Steve – I’ll revisit the math on this. BB has changed the wording on how they offer the boxes, so I can’t pull up the page I used to calculate this… I can however, update it to reflect the new BB page. Thanks!
Kori Clark
I love my mixed BB and have never had any problems with packaging or my order. The meat, pork and chicken are all excellent. I love getting my surprise box every other month and feel so much better about eating animals raised this way.
Tiffany
I appreciate you sharing your experience with us Kori!
