Health-conscious American meat lovers may have reason to celebrate because Good Ranchers is introducing its first fully grass-fed, grass-finished subscription beef box: The Homesteader. Its beef cuts and steaks are entirely antibiotic- and hormone-free.

They are ethically wholly sourced from American farms, making it one of the only meat boxes of its kind, a sampling of the best work of American farmers and ranchers who often go unrecognized in a market dominated by imports.

The best grass-fed, grass-finished beef and more: the story of Good Ranchers

As its name suggests, Good Ranchers was started to bring recognition to America’s most dedicated local farmers and ranchers and transparency to the meat industry supply chain. Up to 85% of “grass-fed” beef sold in the American market is imported overseas.

Good Ranchers set out to provide only ethically sourced meat from American farms; 100% of Good Ranchers’ premium cuts of steak, chicken, wild-caught seafood, and pork are from American sources and waters, a fact the company expresses with its slogan, #AmericanMeatDelivered.

More than grass-fed, grass-finished beef boxes

Good Ranchers delivers high-quality, ethically sourced products that redefine your dining experience. Beyond “The Homesteader” grass-fed beef box, here are three other standout options:

Wild Caught Seafood Box

If you’re a seafood lover, this box is a game-changer. Featuring responsibly sourced, fresh caught seafood directly from American fisheries, every bite boasts unparalleled quality and flavor.

• Why it’s special: Each item is flash-frozen and individually wrapped to lock in freshness. Whether you’re grilling salmon or whipping up shrimp tacos, this box ensures every meal is a delight. With 18 meals included, it’s a versatile and healthy choice for seafood enthusiasts.

Prime Pork Box

Love pork? The Prime Pork Box is filled with heritage-breed, antibiotic free pork cuts sourced from humane, family-run American farms. Each cut of pork boasts superior marbling and tenderness – 25% more tender than conventional options.

• Why it’s unique: From smoky brats perfect for a weekend grill to tender premium pork chops for weeknight dinners, this box celebrates the best of American pork. Plus, all cuts are meticulously flash-frozen to keep peak quality.

The Essentials Box

Your everyday culinary hero, The Essentials Box, a steak and chicken family bundle, is packed with staple proteins that make meal prep effortless. Expect a mix of premium chicken, beef, and pork, perfect for versatile weekly meals.

• Why it’s a classic: This box combines quality and convenience, delivering precisely what you need for quick, delicious meals. Whether you’re stocking up the freezer or feeding a hungry family, The Essentials Box is the ultimate all-rounder.

Good Ranchers’ meat boxes – from their Wild Caught Seafood box to their Prime Pork box to their other beef boxes – have been met with an enthusiastic reception, with some industry critics calling Good Ranchers’ steak boxes the “perfect Christmas gift“, suggesting that Good Ranchers “isn’t just about putting meat in a box; it’s about reshaping how America thinks about food.” 

Others have called their steak boxes “a cut above the rest“, an assortment of festive treats that “offer an unforgettable way to brighten spirits.”

Customers and influencers have proven similarly delighted by the locally sourced meat boxes. “If you want to feel good about the meat you’re buying because it comes from a company wholeheartedly devoted to humane and sustainable practices,” Youtuber MashedFood says, “then Good Ranchers is a solid choice.” 

YouTuber BigJonTV adds, “You know what? That’s pretty darn tasty. Well worth the money.”

What sets The Homesteader Grass-Fed Beef Box apart

So why a new steak box? Good Ranchers has always focused on more than just “putting meat in a box.” In its search to bring meat lovers the most health-conscious, all-American options for beef, Good Ranchers decided not to stop with its steak boxes, which are grass-fed and grain-finished.

The Homesteader, by contrast, is grass-fed grass-finished beef. Most farmers finish a cow by supplementing its grass diet with a vegetarian blend of grains intended to help the cow acquire weight quicker, with richer marbling. The Homesteader uses cows with a natural grass diet for their entire life.

Like Good Ranchers’ other boxes, The Homesteader is sourced exclusively from the heartland of America, making it one of the only American-sourced, grass-fed, grass-finished beef boxes available in the United States. With competitive pricing compared to the purchase of individual cuts, The Homesteader is a premium meat subscription for those who want satisfying and healthy meat.

The Homesteader includes one pound of pasture-raised, grass-finished ground beef, two grass-finished steak tip packs, eight boneless, skinless chicken thighs, and eight plain chicken breasts, making it a collection of traditional, easy-to-cook staples for the American household.
