📦 Is this the same beef that's in your bulk shares?
Yes — everything in the Starter Box is pasture-raised and dry-aged, just like our shares. It's simply portioned and curated for convenience. Same sourcing, same standards, smaller commitment.
🍳 How many meals can I expect?
Most families get 6–8 meals out of the Starter Box, depending on portion sizes. It’s ideal for one week of thoughtful cooking or stretching over a couple of weeks alongside other proteins.
🧊 How much freezer space will I need?
This box takes up less than a single shelf in a standard freezer. Everything is vacuum-sealed, flat-packed, and easy to stack.
🔁 Can I subscribe to this box?
Absolutely! Many customers subscribe monthly or bi-monthly to keep high-quality beef on hand without committing to bulk. You’ll also save 5% on every recurring order.
📈 What if I want more after this?
That’s the idea! Most Starter Box customers eventually upgrade to our 1/8 or 1/4 beef shares. You’ll get a better price per pound and more control over what cuts you receive.
