At the beginning of each week, I will pull out various cuts of meat and stick them in a container in the refrigerator. Then, throughout the week I’m prepared and I know what I have to work with. I like to stay away from processed meats, since they tend to be filled with preservatives, and seed oils, and can be carcinogenic to our health.

Store-bought sausage is often loaded with preservatives, fillers, and unhealthy seed oils that can compromise both flavor and nutrition. By making your own at home, you control the ingredients—using only real, wholesome spices and quality meat—so you get a cleaner, healthier option without the unnecessary additives.

This is a fantastic company for purchasing organic, pasture-raised meats at unbeatable prices. We have the large box delivered every 6 weeks. They have the option to customize your box or you can let them choose the cuts of meats for you based on what types of meats you’re looking for like beef, pork, chicken, or fish.
