sustainable beef

When it comes to flavour, quality matters — and at ButcherBox.ca, we believe Canadians deserve better meat on their plates. From juicy grass-fed beef to tender pasture-raised pork and chicken, the way your meat is raised makes all the difference in taste, texture, and nutrition.

If you’ve ever wondered why ButcherBox.ca meat tastes so fresh and flavourful, here’s what sets it apart.

 
1. Grass-Fed, Grass-Finished Beef for Natural Flavor

At ButcherBox.ca, our 100% grass-fed, grass-finished beef comes from cattle that graze freely on pasture — just as nature intended. This results in leaner, more nutrient-rich beef with a depth of flavour that grain-fed alternatives can’t match.

Each bite carries the rich, earthy notes of real grass-fed beef, raised without antibiotics or added hormones. It’s beef that tastes like beef should.

Step 1: Get Your Hands on That Premium Meat

First

In recent years, more people have started paying attention to where their food comes from, especially when it comes to meat. One term that’s been popping up more and more is “grass-finished beef.” But what exactly does that mean—and is it really better than the alternatives?

Let’s break it down.

Grass-Finished vs. Grass-Fed

First, it’s important to understand the difference between “grass-fed” and “grass-finished.” All cattle start out eating grass, but most are eventually moved to feedlots and finished on grain to fatten them up quickly. When beef is labeled “grass-fed,” it doesn’t necessarily mean the animal ate only grass for its entire life. "Grass-finished" means the animal was raised on a pasture and ate only grass or forage from start to finish—no corn, no soy, no feedlot.
