Editor's Review
ButcherBox is the most recognizable meat-subscription brand in the US, and it's still the right answer for most households. Curated monthly box, four protein lanes (beef, pork, chicken, seafood), with options to customize or take the editor's pick. Grass-fed grass-finished beef, heritage-breed pork, free-range organic chicken, wild Alaskan salmon. The economics are friendlier than they look once you account for the famous 'free bacon for life' or 'free chicken for a year' welcome offers.
