4 Expensive + Extraordinary Mail Order Meat Companies
There is nothing more intoxicating than a butcher shop. The sights. The smells. The slabs of raw beef displayed behind protective glass. Break in case of meat emergency.
There just isn’t always time to browse the butcher’s block. That’s why there is meat by mail. All of the cuts, and more, delivered right to your doorstep.
Here are four of our favorite meal delivery companies.
Heritage Food
Heritage Foods purchases over two hundred Heritage pigs a week, each and every week, from a network of twenty-five independent farms across the US. These pigs are processed and cut into parts under the watchful eye and skilled hands. In addition to pork, Heritage processes about seventy-five hundred turkeys each November, as well as, small amounts of lamb, beef and chicken.
In 2011, Heritage launched “No Goat Left Behind”, an annual project held in October (or Goatober) that sources unwanted male dairy goats from farms in the Northeast and sells them to restaurant and home chefs.
