![]() ![]() I didn’t quite have enough to go around, so I supplemented with some steak tips I bought at the grocery store. With a friend visiting us, I found a great opportunity to experiment. The first items I tried were the steak tips. In some cases, I even did a side by side taste test between typical grocery store products and ButcherBox. With thoughts of meat, sustainability, and questionable eco-friendliness swimming through my mind, I wasted no time getting to what really matters – Taste! I cooked up all of the products in various ways familiar to me so that I could really judge the quality. It comes from all over the U.S., Australia, and Canada. Lastly, the meat isn’t necessarily sourced locally. I found the separate mention of the liner odd, especially with no mention of whether it was recyclable or even biodegradable. Then the next line discussed the liner and just said that it keeps the food cold. One statement said that the box is 100% recyclable and made of 95% recycled materials. Visiting the website did not clear up the matter as it looked like the FAQs about the box contained somewhat misleading language. In order to get some information about the sustainability of ButcherBox, I looked to their website. The interior insulation arrived damp and I couldn’t tell if it was recyclable or biodegradable. I also noticed that the box came with an insulated liner and some mostly melted dry ice. I pulled all kinds of frozen meats out of the box and noted that the delivery had two more packages than usual because of the free items. ![]() When the box arrived, I felt my excitement rise as I opened it like a meat-centric Birthday present. ![]() I also managed to sign up during a promotion for free bacon with every delivery for the life of the subscription and a one-time free add-on of grass fed beef steak tips. Partly because I like the idea of getting a surprise in the mail and partly because I wanted to see what one could expect in a typical delivery. When I signed up for the service, I decided to go for the option where ButcherBox chooses what’s delivered rather than the more expensive option of choosing my own products. The beef is grass fed and grass finished, for example, while the other products are usually organic with no preservatives or fillers. I loved the message of the company that they source only sustainable, organic, and/or humanely produced meats. I heard so much about the ButcherBox Meat Delivery Service and saw so many ads on Facebook that I finally caved in to try the service. ![]()
