Boxes & Cuts

What products do you offer?

We offer a wide variety of premium, 100% American beef, chicken, and pork, along with wild-caught seafood, so you can stock up on everything your family loves. From steakhouse-quality cuts and everyday dinner staples to convenient heat-and-eat meals and ready-to-eat options, there's something for every appetite, occasion, and schedule.

You can Build-Your-Own Box with all your favorite cuts, or choose one of our Signature Curated Boxes, featuring thoughtfully selected combinations of our most popular, customer-favorite cuts.

What is the Build-Your-Own Box?

With a Build-Your-Own Box, you get to choose every cut of meat that goes in your box. Simply select your preferred box size (Medium, Large, or Extra Large) and get building!

Once you've built your perfect box, you can place a one-time order, subscribe for recurring deliveries, or send it as a gift to someone special. Start building your box.

Can I swap cuts in a signature box?

No. Our Signature Boxes feature curated selections of our most popular, customer-favorite cuts. Because each signature box comes with a set selection of cuts, substitutions are not available.

If you'd prefer to handpick everything in your box, you can Build-Your-Own Box instead.

How much meat is in a box?

It depends on the box you choose. Our Signature Boxes feature curated selections of customer-favorite cuts, with the exact contents and quantities listed on each box's product page. If you prefer to Build-Your-Own box, you can choose from three sizes (Medium, Large, or Extra Large) and fill it with your favorite cuts. The total amount of meat will vary based on your selections.

Will the size of my cuts vary?

Some natural variation in size, shape, and appearance is normal with meat products. At Good Ranchers, we carefully process and portion our products to deliver consistent quality, appearance, and weight. While individual cuts may look slightly different, each package is prepared to meet its stated net weight.

If you notice a significant difference in your order, please email support@goodranchers.com with a photo and our Customer Experience team will be happy to help.

What are your hot dogs made of?

Our Wagyu burgers are a proprietary blend that's 78% lean and 22% fat.

Sourcing & Quality

Where does your meat come from? Is it 100% American?

All of our meat is 100% born, raised and harvested in the USA. We work with American ranching partners throughout the United States and every product is processed in a USDA-inspected facility.

Our core commitment is that nothing in your box will ever be imported. No foreign-raised beef will ever be relabeled as American, there's no commodity import sourcing, and no label tricks. We sell simple, American products we are proud to feed our own families.

To protect supplier privacy, we don't publish specific farm, ranch, or processor names.

What makes our meat different from grocery store options?

Where it's from. How it's raised. How it's graded. How it’s packaged. We pay attention to every detail because they all play a part in the quality that ends up on your table.

Every ounce of our meat is 100% born, raised and harvested in the USA, with no mystery imports. Why? Well, because a large share of "grass-fed" beef sold in US grocery stores is actually imported. And our standards don’t stop at where it comes from. Our steaks are also graded USDA Choice or higher for excellent marbling, color, and tenderness, then aged for at least 21 days to maximize tenderness.

Our chicken is raised through a “No Antibiotics Ever” program sourced and from a Small Bird Program, which means we intentionally choose smaller birds instead of the oversized options you often find at the grocery store. Every piece comes pre-trimmed to save you prep time, and our prepared and marinated chicken is also seed oil free and gluten-free.

Our high-quality, heritage-breed pork is American-raised with no added hormones and no antibiotics, and is processed in USDA-inspected facilities. We also work with a supplier program that does not use mRNA vaccines.

And when it comes to seafood, we’re just as intentional about sourcing. All our seafood is wild-caught, never farmed, and sustainably sourced from certified fisheries along US coasts. Because it’s caught in its natural habitat rather than raised in a pen, you get a truly authentic texture and flavor.

Is your meat USDA inspected?

Yes. Every product we offer is USDA inspected and approved. Our meat is harvested and processed in USDA-inspected facilities, with USDA veterinarians inspecting the animals on site before and after harvest.

USDA inspection is separate from USDA grading. Inspection is a food-safety requirement, and grading is a quality rating.

To protect supplier privacy, we don't publish specific farm, ranch or processor names.

What grade are your steaks?

Our steaks are 100% American, never imported, and graded USDA Choice or higher. Our steaks are aged for up to 21 days to maximize tenderness, then hand-cut by master butchers.

Because where your beef comes from, how it’s graded, and how it’s aged all play a part in a better steak—and you can taste the difference in every bite.

Do you offer grass-finished beef?

Yes. Our grass-fed, grass-finished beef is 100% American-raised. Try it for yourself with our grass-fed ground beef.

What's the difference between grass-fed, grass-finished and grain-finished beef?

Grain-finished cattle eat grass for most of their lives, then get an all-natural, 100% vegetarian grain blend for about the last 90 days. That builds marbling and produces the tender, richly flavored, steakhouse-quality beef that is graded USDA Choice or higher. It is the traditional American way of raising cattle.

Grass-finished cattle stay on a 100% grass diet their whole lives. The result is leaner beef with a distinct, earthy flavor and a different texture. You can taste the difference for yourself with our grass-fed, grass-finished ground beef.

Whichever you prefer, one thing never changes: all our beef is 100% American. While more than 85% of the grass-fed beef sold in U.S. grocery stores is imported, ours is born, raised, and harvested right here in the USA.

Do you inject your animals with mRNA?

No. Our beef, chicken and pork supply is mRNA vaccine-free.

What should I know about your beef?

Our beef is 100% born, raised and harvested in the USA. We partner with American ranchers to source pasture-raised native cattle, and every steak is graded USDA Choice or higher. The majority of our beef is also grain-finished.

Grain-finished cattle eat grass for most of their lives, then get an all-natural, 100% vegetarian grain blend for about the last 90 days. That builds marbling and produces the tender, richly flavored, steakhouse-quality beef. It is the traditional American way of raising cattle.

What should I know about your chicken?

Our chicken is American-raised and cage-free—meaning they're never confined and always free to roam. Our chicken also has No Antibiotics Ever, and is processed in USDA-inspected facilities.

It’s also part of our Small Bird Program, which means we intentionally source smaller birds for naturally portioned chicken breasts. The result is real, whole chicken breast, never formed or processed. And at 4 to 4.5 ounces each, they’re naturally portioned and easy to cook.

Every piece comes pre-trimmed to save you prep time, and everything arrives vacuum-sealed to ensure freshness. Our prepared and marinated chicken is also seed oil free and gluten-free.

What should I know about your pork?

Our heritage-breed pork is American-raised with no added hormones and no antibiotics, and processed in USDA-inspected facilities. Our pork supply is also proudly mRNA vaccine-free.

Additionally, our pork comes from crate-free programs, meaning they are never confined to gestation crates. It is also fully-compliant with all Prop 12 standards.

What should I know about your seafood?

Our seafood is 100% American, wild-caught, and never farmed. It’s caught in its natural habitat along U.S. coasts by local fishermen who use sustainable practices.

Subscription & Billing

How does a subscription work?

Choose your box and how often you’d like it delivered—every 4, 6, or 8 weeks—and we’ll take care of the rest. Your order ships automatically on your schedule, with free shipping every time.

Need to make a change? You can always change your box, swap cuts, move your delivery date, skip an order, pause, or cancel before your next order processes.

You can order once or subscribe for deliveries every 4, 6, or 8 weeks, with the option to choose your ship date at checkout. And if your plans change, your order can too—change it, skip a delivery, or cancel anytime before your next order processes.

Shipping & Delivery

How much is shipping? Is it free?

Yes, shipping is always free on every order, subscription or one-time, with no minimum spend! The price you see on the box is before taxes, and there are never any shipping charges on top.

Where do you ship and deliver to?

We ship throughout the continental United States. We're currently unable to ship to Alaska, Hawaii, P.O. boxes or business addresses—so please enter a valid residential address at checkout to make sure your box arrives on time.

Additionally, shipping is always free.

Does my meat arrive frozen, and how is it packaged?

Yes. Your meat arrives frozen and ready for your freezer. Every cut is flash-frozen, individually vacuum-sealed, and packed with dry ice in an insulated box. Your cuts can stay in the freezer for up to a year after delivery, so you can thaw what you need and keep the rest frozen for later.

When will my box be delivered?

Your box will ship within a few days of your order processing, and you'll get a tracking notification as soon as it does. We use two-day ground express shipping, so you can expect your order to be delivered 1-2 days after it has been shipped.

You're also able to choose your ship date at checkout, so you can pick the timing that works best for you. Since most of our products ship frozen with dry ice, we schedule shipments to avoid unnecessary weekend delays and ensure your order arrives frozen and ready for your freezer.

What if my delivery is missing, delayed, or lost?
