A lack of transparency in the meat industry, as well as a need to produce meat that has been made in America, inspired the creation of Good Ranchers, a company that provides beef delivery via a meat subscription box straight to your door. But Good Ranchers goes beyond just convenience; the focus on all-American, grass-fed, and grain-finished beef offers surprising mental health benefits.
Founded by Ben and Corley Spell in 2018 as a way to provide honest and quality food for their growing family, Good Ranchers works to source all of its meat from local, independent farms in the United States, all while connecting people to products they can’t get anywhere else. By making American farms strong again, it aims to restore the American table to the way it was meant to be: a place of community, quality, and true change.
“To eat better, you have to know better,” the website states. “That’s why Good Ranchers wants to fill your fridge with the best food and equip you with the information you need to know to make good food decisions.”
US beef: the mental health benefits of red meat
The mental health benefits of red meat cannot be overstated. Filled with vitamins B6 and B12 and other micronutrients such as choline, it can help with memory, mood, and muscle control.
How your meat is raised also influences the health benefits you receive from it. As a result, it’s important to understand where your meat is coming from. Good Ranchers is the only 100% American farm-raised meat delivery service featuring USDA Prime and upper-choice quality cuts. Sourced sustainably and locally, the meat you buy from them does not utilize any added hormones or antibiotics, ensuring that the food you eat is as pure as it can be without the added chemicals many meats have.
Why does this matter?
“Over 85% of grass-fed beef is imported from overseas,” their website states. “This hurts the quality of meat you eat and the quality of life for American farmers. Buying from independent farmers in the US lets you Do Good & Eat Good at the same time.”
