Whole30 Meat: Grass-Fed, Ethically-Raised Meat Delivered To Your Door

Note: This article contains affiliate links. Learn about what that means here.

Meat is pretty essential for Whole30. I mean sure, you can do it as a vegetarian, but filling up on healthy protein is an essential aspect of Whole30, and for most of us, that means focusing a fair bit on meat.

Now you don’t need to do grass-fed beef or pastured raised chicken to do Whole30 – regular meat is allowable. However, most Whole30-ers prefer to do the program with quality meats.

We’ve talked before about whether or not grass-fed meat is essential for Whole30. When it comes down to it, grass-fed and pasture-raised meat tastes better and is healthier for you, so if you can afford it, it’s definitely your best option.

While grass-fed and pasture-raised meat is the obvious choice, it can be hard to get your hands on the good stuff if you’re not on a first name basis with your local butcher.

Luckily, there are a few companies that specialize specifically in delivering healthy, grass-fed meat to your door. All the services listed here are officially endorsed by Whole30, so you don’t need to doubt their authenticity.

Try one of these meat delivery services and see just how much better good meat tastes!

Note: This article concerns fresh meat. Read our article here for information about Whole-friendly deli meat.

Officially endorsed by Whole30’s Melissa Hartwig, you know you’re in good hands. Each ButcherBox delivery includes 8-11 lbs of delicious, organic meat. It’s also pretty affordable, breaking down to less than $6 per meal (at least for the meat portion)!

Other notable features about ButcherBox include:

3. U.S. Wellness Meats

We’ve long sung the praises of U.S. Wellness Meats – after all, they are one of the rare and few purveyors of Whole30 approved bacon!

Really though, U.S. Wellness Meats offers much more than just bacon – they also sell a wider selection of sugar-free and additive-free meats. In fact, they have an entire section devoted to Whole30-friendly meats!

Their selection includes:

• Bison chorizo sausage

• Jerky sticks
• Polish pork sausages
• Whole30 bacon
• and more!

U.S. Wellness Meats ensures that the animals are not given any hormones, antibiotics, or stimulants. While U.S. Wellness Meats follows organic practices, they are not officially certified due to the fact that the state of Missouri has a private certifier run the organic labeling, and this organization requires 3% of the business’s profits to maintain the organic label – something many businesses simply can’t afford to do.

4. Honest Bison

The Honest Bison offers packs of 100% grass fed bison meat, delivered right to your door! If you’re game for trying bison, this is the way to do it – The Honest Bison promises humanely, sustainably raised, minimally processed meat from a holistically-oriented ranch in Rice Lake, Wisconsin.

So is grass-fed meat worth it? I think so.

After all, Whole30 is all about breaking away from the preservatives and toxins that burden most of our meals. And there’s simply no denying that most of our meat is not only processed poorly and full of antibiotics, but also – depending on your perspective – has a spiritual burden as well, being raised in a manner that many consider cruel and irresponsible.

Let me be honest here – I mostly eat non-organic meat. However, when I can afford it, I try to opt for the humanely raised meat. Grass-fed meat is better for you and tastes a lot better – it’s a win-win!
