I live in the pineywoods and we don't have very many good meat markets. I've considered trying a butcher box type service where they deliver steaks, chicken, etc via the mail. Have any of yall tried one of these services? If so, which did you like?

We use 44 farms and their stuff is awesome.

I've tried Crowd Cow, Butcher Box, Porter Road, and Flannery Beef.

At the end of the day, I decided our HEB had better quality than all (except maybe Flannery, but they're expensive) so didn't continue long term, but that may not apply to you based on the OP.

The first three were all pretty similar.

I want to say it was Butcher Box that was packaged poorly so the dry ice made direct contact with some of the vacuum sealed packages and burned holes in them. They had a crazy sale about a year ago so tried them again and similar experience. Full disclosure, I may be misremembering and it may have been Porter Road.

A lot of more local places are doing similar. They're sold out of everything at the moment but I'll probably try Rem5 Farms soon.

I had 44 Farms shipped to my Aunt and Uncle in Tampa for Christmas and they said it was really good.

TLDR: They're all pretty good quality but not blow you out of the water or crazy value. But if you don't have a good selection nearby I wouldn't hesitate to try any of them.

It's ran by my classmate and his brother and dad. Great people and family of Ags to boot!

I have really enjoyed Wild Pastures. I think their quality is pretty good, and decent prices.

I'm a repeat customer of theirs for 1/4s or 1/2s of beef.

Glad to hear it. I've known Grant since Kindergarten and he's been a great friend through the years.
