25 Top Organic and Grass Fed Beef Online Delivery Services

Finding the best organic and grass-fed beef online can be a daunting task. There are tons of options out there but it can be overwhelming figuring out who offers the best quality meat products for the price. 

When it comes to healing from autoimmunity, following an AIP diet, or simply managing overall health, it's really important to source high-quality foods. This allows us to reduce our exposure to toxins and increase our intake of crucial vitamins and nutrients.

While this post is mainly about online places to find grass-fed beef, I’ll also touch on a couple of local sourcing ideas as well.

Below, I’ll cover the ins and outs of several fantastic places to find grass-fed and pasture-raised beef online. I personally use several of the companies listed below and love what they offer. 

Key Things to Look for When Shopping for Grass-Fed Beef:

• Allowed to graze on open pastures for most of, if not their entire lives (see definitions below on pasture-raised vs grass-fed)
• Humanely raised
• Antibiotic-free
• No added hormones
• Pesticide-free
• Sourcing transparency- does the company tell you exactly where it's getting its meats?

Let’s define a few things: 

Organic 

Organic sounds nice but it’s not necessarily everything. Organic means that a third party has verified that certain standards are met. Some of these include:

• Animals must be raised in a way that accommodates health and natural behavior
• Allowed year-round access to outdoors (except in specific weather conditions)- at least 120 days
• Fed certified organic feed 
• Raised on certified organic land
• No antibiotics or growth hormones
• Produced without genetic engineering, ionizing radiation, or sewage sludge

All these things are important. However, organic certification makes no guarantees about how much actual grazing an animal does in its life. If just has to have access to the outdoors, so it's possible it could be fed quite a bit of grain in its lifetime.

Pasture-Raised vs Grass-Fed

It’s important to understand the difference. 

Pasture-raised

This means that an animal has lived some portion of its life grazing from pastures and is not confined only indoors. The USDA does regulate this claim for meat and poultry and the definition is not well-defined, so some producers use it a bit freely. Most cows are at least born on a pasture which means they could (in some cases) be called pasture-raised even if they are fed-grain for a large part of their lives.

Grass-Fed

This means that the animal has only grazed on grass for its whole life aside from mom’s milk at birth. 100% grass-fed is ideal in terms of the nutritional profile of the meat. Here are some key pros to grass-fed beef (compared to grain-fed):

• Leaner- lower in saturated fat
• Higher in vitamins A, E, B12, B6, and K
• Higher in selenium and zinc
• Higher in omega-3 fatty acids
• Higher in antioxidants

Buying Locally

In many cases, you may have some awesome resources locally for getting high-quality meat, organs, and bones. These resources should be taken advantage of when possible. 

Sourcing the highest quality meats directly from local farms is one of the best ways to source grass-fed beef locally. Eatwild is a great resource for finding local grass-fed meats, eggs, and dairy. Check out their state-by-state directory (+Canada).

Grass-fed beef can be easily found in health food stores like Whole Foods, Sprouts, and Trader Joe’s. It’s also pretty easy to find it in big wholesale stores like Costco or Sam’s for reasonable prices. If you're doing AIP, you may want to check out my Whole Foods AIP Shopping List, Sprouts AIP Shopping List, and Trader Joe's AIP Shopping List.

Local grocery stores like Walmart, Aldi, Kroger tend to have organic, grass-fed meats too. The downside to some of these products is that they're often sourced outside the US.

Aside from local stores, you may have a good butcher nearby. This can be a good way to find meats, organs, and bones that have been sourced from local farms. 

However, depending on where you live, availability may be limited. In this case, getting your meat online can be a lifesaver!

Buying Beef Online

There are some big benefits to buying your beef online. The biggest of these is that variety of options for quality, cuts, and types of meat is quite wide. 

Buying high-quality, pasture-raised, and organic meats online is getting easier and easier. It’s convenient, reliable, and many places are reasonably affordable. There are a bunch of amazing online meat delivery services out there so let’s get into it!

BucherBox

ButcherBox offers 100% grass-fed beef, organic free-range chicken, crate-free pork, and wild-caught seafood. They work with farms that raise their animals humanely and with sustainability in mind. 

What They Offer:

• Humanely Raised Meats
• Grass-fed Grass-Finished Beef
• Crate-Free Pork
• Organic Free-Range Poultry
• No Antibiotics Ever
• Wild Caught Seafood
• Flexible Subscriptions
• Shipping to 48 states, no Hawaii, Alaska, or Canada

How it Works: Choose a subscription box- they offer a variety of sizes and types to fit your household.

Price: $99-$169 per month (or per box if not having deliveries every 4 weeks)

Pro(s):

• Their memberships are super flexible. You don't have to get a box every month if it's not in the budget- you can set up delivery for every 2, 4, 6, or 8 weeks and you can skip deliveries as needed. You can also change your type of box, box size, and delivery frequency at any time to fit your needs. 
• They're almost always running a promotion for free meat or seafood- sometimes with your first order, sometimes for the life of your membership. Check out the current promotion.

Con(s):

• They’re a bit pricey but high-quality meat costs money. However, they’re not nearly as pricey as I originally thought. When I do shop for meat in my local stores, the prices are pretty darn high even for non-organic, lower-quality meats. I’d rather know where my meat is coming from, be able to hand-pick what I want online and have it show up to my door when I need it. The benefits far outweigh the costs.
• Most of the meat is sourced in Australia which has high animal welfare standards but for those who prefer to source closer to home, this is just something to be aware of

White Oak Pastures

These guys are a 6-generation farm based in the small town of Bluffton, Georgia. They place a huge focus on regenerative agriculture and humanely raising their animals. I’ve used this company for a couple of years now and love them!

How It Works: Buy everything a la carte. No Subscriptions.

• Shipping to 48 states, not Alaska or Hawaii 

Pro(s):

• Awesome selection of bones, organs, and meats.
• They're super transparent about their practices
• They use the entire animal- no waste
• They carry less common meats like wild game, goose, duck, rabbit, alligator, etc.

Con(s):

• Some things go out of stock pretty easily as these guys get more popular. So, if you’re looking for something specific, it may or may not be available. I think that’s kind of the nature of this type of business though.
• Recently increased shipping charges for some locations- This is a new thing (as of June 2022). They still ship all over the US (except Alaska and Hawaii) but it may cost a bit more depending on where you live. They've recently made the decision to adjust their shipping practices due to logistical challenges. Basically, if you live a certain distance away from them, you may be required to pay express shipping costs in order to get your meat to your door in good, fresh condition. Check out their shipping policy to learn more.

Con(s):

• Some products have kind of a large range for item weights. For example, when you order “1” chicken breast package, the weight is anywhere from 10-23 oz for $12.25. Which is it? If it’s closer to 23 oz, not a bad deal but 10 oz makes it more pricey. Luckily most of their other products don't have weight ranges quite this big.

• It’s membership-based and ends up being about $5/month if paid annually.
• Generally when you sign up, you get a free gift up to a $50 value and then a certain percentage off your first order (or first few orders, depending on the deal). So it makes up the cost of the membership pretty quickly. 
• Customize your order and set a delivery schedule. Save an extra 5-10% on auto-ship orders.
• Edit, Skip or Pause auto-ship orders any time
• Place one-time orders any time

Check out their sourcing page for more information.

• They're subscription-based but the subscription is free and you can pause or skip your weekly order at any time.
• Choose a delivery day. You’ll get some email reminders from Misfits when your shopping window opens. For example, my shopping window is Friday-Sunday. Then, on Sunday evening (or Monday morning), my order is automatically placed and I get my box on Thursday.
• Add some things to your cart- $35 is the order minimum. Assuming you have at least $35 of groceries in your cart by the end or the ordering window, your order will be placed automatically.
• There's an option to have Misfits start a cart for you and then you can add to it from there OR just order a la carte.

Price: Membership is free. Minimum order is $35. “Cold Pack” minimum is $30.

Pros: 

• High quality foods. 
• Good prices. 
• Consistent reminder emails so I remember to build my order! 
• Low order minimum

Con(s): 

• Occasionally an item will get damaged during shipping. Usually it’s been delicate produce. Berries for example don’t always travel very well. A couple times, the cold packs were placed directly on a bag of lettuce and it ruined the lettuce. Things like that. That being said, 95% of my items arrive in great condition and the ones that don’t are refunded pretty easily. 
• I don’t really like the option to have them curate a box for you because it gets complicated if you have diet restrictions. They’re not able to accommodate diet restrictions with the curate system so I choose to just build my own box.
